Jenson Button has revealed that he is expecting McLaren to be "stronger" for the British Grand Prix later this month.

The Woking team failed to score any points for the first time in 65 races at the Canadian Grand Prix.

The 2009 world champion told Autosport: "There are many things a driver needs to be good at here, but he also needs to be working with a good team and driving a good car.

"With us, this grand prix is going to be a difficult one. But I think we'll be stronger here than the previous races because it is a fast flowing circuit. I think we do have okay downforce, but the problem for us has been the ride quality of the car.

"Even in the difficult times, that are much worse than now, I still love coming to Silverstone because of the support you get from the crowd."

Button's best finish at the British Grand Prix was in 2010, when he came fourth.
