Button hails beginning of new era at BAR-Honda

JENSON BUTTON says his world championship dreams will be kick-started back to life next year after being cleared to stay with BAR-Honda.

Button confirmed he is now contracted to remain a BAR driver “for a few years” after being released from his obligation, signed last year, to join Williams for 2006.

And the Briton, who is yet to secure his first Grand Prix win, believes the opportunity is now there to step up a level and challenge for the title.
