Silverstone hero has work to do
07-09-2004

Silverstone hero Jenson Button - just fifth quickest in Friday's practice - has a bit of work to do if he wants to join the fight for Sunday's British GP.

The Englishman beamed the crowd's already 'been fantastic.

''I think we know where we're headed.

''We just have a lot more work to do with the car.''

Friday tester Anthony Davidson, also a local lad, had a bad day in the BAR-Honda car - in the afternoon, the 25-year-old's gearbox broke after just 14 laps.

''All is not lost,'' he lamented, ''but it's not ideal.''

Takuma Sato expected the 006 to be quicker. ''We had a positive test here,'' said the ninth-placed Japanese. ''The car isn't as quick as we had hoped.''

* Christian Klien's (17th) was the fastest Jaguar. ''We're definitely finding the (windy) conditions more frustrating than normal,'' said Mark Webber.
