BAR Honda's Jenson Button is looking forward to a physical race at Istanbul, as the inaugural Turkish Grand Prix approaches. Jenson, along with third and test driver Anthony Davidson, visited the circuit recently, and was happy with what he saw. "I was really impressed by the layout of the circuit," said Jenson Button. "The design is very interesting and I think it's going to make for some very good racing.

"The undulations that are part of the circuit make it very exciting from the driver's point of view - especially when it comes to overtaking and in qualifying when you are pushing to the limit trying to find braking points for the corners when you can hardly see the corners. It also makes for some very good viewing for the spectators.

"I can't wait to race there, although it will be very physical because it is one of only three anti-clockwise tracks we race at, and it will be incredibly hot."
