Jenson Button is confident of some success in the Italian Grand Prix, as the Englishman arrives in Monza following a successful testing session. "I'm really looking forward to the race at Monza," explains Jenson. "The atmosphere is always great over the race weekend and the circuit has traditionally seen lots of exciting racing, so hopefully it will be another good race for the fans.

Remembering past times, he adds that he "had a podium finish here in 2004 and it is a track that I always enjoy."

While a podium is at least one place down from his debut win in Hungary last month, a repeat visit to the top three would be a great achievement this time round, but Button is confident he'll be competitive.

"We did a lot of good work with Michelin at the Monza test this week in preparation as most of the track has been resurfaced, so we needed to focus carefully on the tyre choice," explains the Honda Racing F1 driver. "We have a relatively good car around here so I think that we should be reasonably competitive in the race."
