Button: Spa is a favourite

Jenson Button has claimed that the Belgium Grand Prix's Spa circuit is one of his favourites ahead of Sunday's (August 30th) race.

The British driver stormed ahead in the Formula One World Championships at the beginning of the season, but has failed to build on his momentum recently and admitted the last few weeks have been "tough".

According to the Brawn driver, the Spa track is one of the best because of the variety it offers those racing.

He remarked: "It's one of the fastest and most challenging circuits in the world, with hills, fast corners and long straights, which combine to give you a real buzz to drive."

One concern is the weather, the 29-year-old stated, as it can be difficult to predict and could have a massive effect on the weekend's competition.

Button is the favourite with Bet365 (Go to Bet365 ») at 4/9, while Extrabet (Go to Extrabet ») considers fellow Brit Lewis Hamilton more of an outside shot at 33/1.
