Mclaren's Button wishes for wet weather this weekend; says it will help challenge Red Bullu00a0u00a0 McLaren's Jenson Button is hoping for rain during this weekend's British Grand Prix in Silverstone. The Brit believes wet weather will help his team overhaul Red Bull.

"It definitely does mix it up a bit. Our car seems to work well in the wet. "We've proved that on a couple of occasions and if you look at the pace in Valencia, you would say we were nowhere near close enough to the Red Bulls. "Whether that is going to be the same when we arrive at Silverstone, as we do have changes to the car and there is a regulation change, I don't know. I hope not. "I hope we have made some good improvements. It is going to be tough to beat the Red Bulls. "We always knew that but we won't know how difficult it is until Friday and the practice sessions," the 2009 champion added.
