Button wants Honda push on power before reliability

Jenson Button says he wants McLaren-Honda to turn its attention to getting more power fr🀅om its engine, even if it is at the expense of reliability, following a d🤡isappointing Belgian Grand Prix.

Though Honda's much vaunted upgraded power unit ran relatively trouble free over the course of the weekend, it remains downꦏ on power compa✃red with its rivals, preventing both Button and Fernando Alonso from mounting a sustained challenge in the race.

Leading Button to label his race as 'embarrassing', the former champion has called on McLaren and Honda to now focus striv👍ing for more power, even if it meant more technical issues in the meantime.

"I'd rather have more effort on powꦏer. I think that's the aim we have right now - the aim is power - that's always been the aim. Reliability i♎s second really, because I think we'd like to see ourselves quicker and less reliable - I wouldn't have an issue with that.

"The performance is something difficult to find, reliability is probably a little bit easier. Everyone is working hard, but this is tough this weekend, not only were we slow but I had the prob🐼lem."
