Button eyes bigger and better things in France in bid to kick-start his season
Jenson Button is looking to end his recent miserable run at this weekend's
French Grand Prix.
After claiming his first points of the season with sixth in Spain towards the
end of April, the Honda driver has since finished 11th in Turkey, Monaco and
Canada.
In contrast, team-mate Rubens Barrichello has finally rediscovered his form by
taking sixth and seventh in Monte Carlo and Montreal.

At a circuit Button professes to love - he was fifth and fourth in 2004 and
2005 when driving for BAR - the 28-year-old is hoping to get his season back on
track.
"I'm looking forward to the race, particularly after a disappointing weekend
in Canada where we were really off the pace," said Button.
"I've had some good results in Magny Cours previously and the race can be
quite exciting, so I expect us to have a better weekend there."
Team principal Ross Brawn has set his sights high for the weekend, believing
the Honda will be "back on the pace of our midfield competitors".
Brawn added: "Whilst Rubens led the last race in Canada for a short time and
scored valuable points, we are fully aware his race was helped by the safety car
and retirements.
"But I expect a stronger performance this weekend and we will be looking to
get into the points on the merit of the car's performance."
