Well, we know that every venue he'll be traveling from now on – except for Hungaroring – will be subject to that equation, which is becoming race winner for the first time on each of the 2009 tracks, but winning in front of a home crowd on British GP's last visit at Silverstone must really be special for the 29-year old driver.
Button revealed he wants to give his fellow countrymen a fairy tale good bye at Silverstone, where no less than 100,000 fans are expected to make the grandstands on June 21st. This will be the last time F1 will travel to Northamptonshire for the British GP, as the race will move to Donington Park from 2010 onwards.
“Every year I've been to Silverstone to race in Formula One it's quite amazing the support you get, even when you're not driving a competitive car and when you can't get a result you still get a lot of support which is fantastic,” said Button, shortly after his impressive win in Turkey.
“You've got so much support but you can't give them anything back but to arrive there leading the Championship, I feel that, in a way, it's giving them something to really get a hold of and sink their teeth into and really enjoy. Yeah, so arriving at Silverstone I'm going to be very excited and looking forward to the weekend.”
“Before and after it's very different, for sure, but the great thing is, a lot of people that work in Formula One are British, we have a lot of fans in the United Kingdom, so hopefully we will put on a good show for them and we will have a sell-out crowd and this will help us in the future have a grand prix in the UK,” added the Brawn GP driver.
