Formula One: ‘Every box need to be ticked’

McLaren driver Jenson Button said that even the small differences will have a big impact on drivers in the Spanish Grand Prix as the teams are quite familiar with the circuit, according to ESPN. “Barcelona can be a funny circuit,” said Button. “We all test there so regularly that every driver knows it like the back of his hand, yet it can still be a tricky place to get absolutely right. But, because every team is so dialled in to the track, even having a well-sorted car isn’t necessarily the answer because it’s sometimes the smallest differences that determine the order.” He believed that key to have a great race is to find the right balance. “You need to have every box ticked if you’re going to win at Barcelona.”
