Button prefers Suzuka

As F1 prepares for the Japanese Grand Prix at the Toyota-owned Fuji Speedway, Honda driver Jenson Button has openly said he prefers to race at the former home of the Japanese Grand Prix, Suzuka.

"The Japanese Grand Prix is always a special weekend for the team as our second home race of the season," said Button in reference also to Silverstone and the British Grand Prix being the first home race for the Brackley-based team. "Racing for a Japanese team, we always have fantastic support and the fans are so enthusiastic that it makes for a great atmosphere."

"For me, the true home of the Japanese Grand Prix is Suzuka, which is just one of the best circuits in the world, and I can't wait to return there next year," Button added. "However I did enjoy driving at the Fuji Speedway last year and the circuit has a nice mix of twisty corners and the high-speed pit straight. A lot of the corners have a very late apex, which is quite unusual. It will be a busy week for me."
