That might appear surprising after his pole-to-flag win in Sunday's season-opening Australian Grand Prix but Button concedes not everything is as rosy as it appears, and by that token there is considerable scope for improvement and hope for their rivals.

"We've just got to take every lap as it comes," said Button, in the wake of only the second victory of his 154-race career.

He added: "So I'm not looking forward to the race (on Sunday), instead I'm looking forward to getting back in the car and building it into something even more special because we're not there yet.

"It's not perfect and we certainly didn't get the best out of it over the weekend."

Button led home team-mate Rubens Barrichello on a historic day for the newly-formed Brawn GP. After being strong throughout practice and dominating qualifying, it was only a mistake off the start line from veteran Barrichello that denied the team a more emphatic look to the weekend.

And the majority of the paddock are in agreement the car is in a league of its own, and in danger of dominating for most of the season.

But Button said: "Although I won the race, you only have to look at our pitstops. I think I was six seconds (too long) in the second stop. So there are a few areas we are weak in, and that was always going to be the case because we barely did any testing.

"It's been very difficult for everyone to be perfect, but there's room for improvement, and that's what I'm looking forward to achieving.

"For now, we need to get the best out of everything, which we haven't done. But it's nice to have had not quite the perfect weekend, yet come away with a pole and a win."
