Motor Racing: Jenson Button is hoping to deliver a result to be proud of for BAR engine supplier Honda on their home track in this weekend's Japanese Grand Prix.
Honda own the Suzuka circuit and, as in previous years, have produced a one-off engine to give them the best chance of success on home turf.
Button and team-mate Takuma Sato will benefit from the extra power and the Englishman is determined to maintain his good run of form.
He led the last two grands prix in Italy and China before eventually succumbing to Ferrari's Rubens Barrichello and hopes for another strong run in Japan.
He said: "Both Takuma and I are really looking forward to the Japanese Grand Prix. Suzuka is a very special circuit in itself and I think our car and package will work very well there.
"The change of direction with our car is very good, which is important for the particular characteristics of this circuit.
"We know we can be fast there having finished fourth and sixth last year, so I am expecting a lot from the race."
Not only do BAR have home fans from Honda to please this weekend, Sato is a national hero in Japan for his Formula One exploits.
