Jenson Button believes his McLaren team have nothing to fear when they tackle the Canadian Grand Prix this weekend.
The English team struggle on power hungry tracks with their less impressive Honda engine, and normally perform best on technical tracks, such as Monaco.
But Button is adamant they can score well this weekend, despite the more powerful Mercedes and Ferrari powered cars set for a better weekend.
"Although this is one of the fastest circuits on the calendar, and very power-hungry, one of the strengths of our chassis is stability under heavy braking, so we shouldn't be fearful of going to a circuit like this and finding ourselves on the back foot," Button said.
"Our development rate is steep and there's huge work going on behind the scenes to constantly improve the performance of our whole package, so I'm excited to see how we perform in Canada, given how different the circuit's characteristics are compared to Monaco."
