Bahrain focus for Button
Formula 1, 10:19, March 12, 2010 ,
Reigning world champion Jenson Button is looking to get off to the perfect start this season by winning in Bahrain at the weekend.
The 19-race Formula 1 jamboree gets underway to mark the start of Button's link-up with former champion Lewis Hamilton at McClaren, and Button wants to draw first blood.
He said: "For any champion it's important to be quick off the blocks.
"Competition is very fierce this season so it's important to be at the front in Bahrain. You have to win as many races as you can to fight for the title."
Bahrain will also mark the return of legend Michael Schumacher with Mercedes.
