Buoyant Button in top gear for Silverstone

JENSON BUTTON has vowed to put on a show for his fans next month as he is now guaranteed to be world championship leader going into the British Grand Prix.

No matter what unfolds at the next race in Turkey in a fortnight, Button’s blistering start to the season, with five wins from six grands prix, ensures he cannot be caught before Silverstone on June 21.

That is a source of great pride for Button, who on Sunday produced a perfect drive around Monaco to open up a 16-point lead at the top of the standings over Brawn GP team-mate Rubens Barrichello.
