Jenson Button has revealed that it will come down to the wire at the German Grand Prix next weekend.

Button, who has enjoyed early season success, heads to Nurburgring with a 23-point lead in the Drivers' Championship.

The British driver lost on his home turf last time out, ceding the British GP to Sebastian Vettel, and will be looking to bounce back in Germany.

Button will relish the added incentive to reverse roles with Vettel this weekend, grabbing the win in front of Seb's home fans.

The Brawn GP driver also noted that the 5.148 kilometre track should suit his Mercedes-powered Brawn GP 001.

"The Nürburgring is a tricky circuit but there are two key characteristics which should be good for our car," he explained. "It is a relatively slow circuit with a lot of medium-speed corners which are one of the strengths of the BGP 001."

"The Nürburgring is also one of the heaviest braking circuits on the calendar so you need a car which will be good through the four heavy braking zones."

Brawn GP has been conscientiously making changes to Button's and Rubens Barrichello's vehicles, with team supremo Ross Brawn promising 'additional improvements'.

 "With the extra week's break, everyone at the factory and at Mercedes-Benz High Performance Engines has been working extremely hard in preparation for the German Grand Prix to get the best package for the race," Button added.

"We're looking forward to showing what the car can do at the Nürburgring, especially after a disappointing weekend by our standards at the British Grand Prix."

"My last stint at Silverstone showed though that the pace of the car is really competitive so we're confident that we can turn it around at this race."

"I'm sure we will see a really intense fight with our closest competitors and hopefully a great race for the fans."
