Is Jenson Button the best prepared driver for the Bahrain GP?
Who is the driver who has completed the most kilometres on the test circuit? Answer: Button.
Who has posted the fastest time in testing? Button.
Team who have completed the most kilometres testing reliability of car and engine, experimenting with tyres and components? Button's Honda Racing.
Team who took up the opportunity (where, surprisingly, some did not
) to test in Bahrain three weeks ago, establishing useful data for the hot conditions? Honda Racing.
Fitness levels? More impressive than ever before: his physio and trainer declare him a "finely tuned athlete" after intense work, competing in triathlons and duathlons, in the Olympic training camp in Lanzarote.
Degree of competitive determination? Off the scale. Combination of unwanted record of 100 races without a win, a valuable yard-stick to measure himself against team-mate Rubens Barrichello, Michael Schumacher's former sidekick at Ferrari, and an innate determination to fulfil an addiction to winning, which began at the age of eight when he swept aside all opposition in kart racing.
Button has covered every base methodically, and pushed himself and the team hard. His confidence is high; he has done his absolute best to be primed. Best of British luck to him, he deserves a win. ;D
