Button is still in excellent spirits from an emotional victory at the Japanese Grand Prix on Sunday – his fifth consecutive podium finish – and he believes he can take this form into Korea this weekend.

He said: “Winning in Japan was one of the most satisfying and emotional victories of my career, and I’m really looking forward to carrying that momentum into this weekend.”

“Although last year’s Korean Grand Prix wasn’t one of my greatest performances – we just couldn’t get the car hooked up properly – I think that, given the current pace of the car and the form the team has at the moment, I’m going into this year’s race feeling much more positive.”

“The most important difference is that I have a car beneath me that I can really trust. For me, that wasn’t really the case here last season: but, this year, our car just feels positive in every type of corner.”

“I feel comfortable pushing hard, because you can really feel the limit. I think you could really see that at Suzuka.”

“So I’m feeling much more optimistic about this year’s race. It’s an interesting circuit, there’s a good range of corners – Turn eleven is pretty unique, it’s a double-apex, heavily cambered left-hander, and the back-end of the track is quite interesting, too – there’s only really one line through that sequence of bends, and, if you get one wrong, you can risk losing out through the whole sequence.”

“I’m quite confident that we should be able to hook the car up quite well through that sequence this year.”
