Jenson Button has said that he has a "good feeling" about the upcoming Monaco Grand Prix, as McLaren continue to search for points.
The British team have had a miserable start to the new season thanks to an under-performing Honda engine, but the twisty Monaco track relies less on power.
Neither Button nor Fernando Alonso have scored any points this year, but the 2009 champion is hopeful that they will arrive in the principality.
He told reporters: "I've got a good feeling about it. There are a few areas where the car needs to be stronger right now for Monaco if we were going to go there tomorrow but it will be an interesting place to drive this car.
"It's such a tricky circuit to find the limit at. If you have a car that you are confident in, it makes a massive difference. I remember Jean Alesi in a Prost doing a really good job around there because he had confidence in the car and the balance was there.
"He might not have had a lot of downforce but it worked for him and it gave him confidence. You need that anywhere, really. In F1, most drivers are very talented and it's a mental game but especially for Monaco."
The Monaco Grand Prix takes place on May 24.
