Twelve months on from his first F1 victory at the Hungaroring, Jenson Button has said that the true value of the win is only being felt now.

Button took a dramatic win from a bizarre race that featured a scrambled grid and wildy varying weather conditions.

But while he savoured the moment at the time, he says that it means even more now as the Honda team strive to improve the troublesome RA107.

"I think the win really helps us now more than ever, because when things are tough, you've got something to fall back on," Button, who has scored just one point this season, said after practice on Friday.

"If I still hadn't won a race, it would be very, very difficult, being in this position.


I actually feel sorry for him. Thats as close a remark an F1 driver will ever say to being depressed with their choice of team.

<doh> :P

May as well type something anyway...I for probably the first time ever, feel sorry for Button. He got out of his contract with Williams to stay at BAR/Honda, and they are not exactly repaying him. They have no excuse for this season because they ended last year with a half-decent car. They should have been able to build on it.
