Jenson Button says his partnership with Fernando Alonso is perfect for McLaren as the team plots a way back to the summit of F1. After two successful days in Barcelona when 2016 pre-season testing began last week, the team were restricted to just a handful of laps on Wednesday and Thursday due to unreliability.But McLaren - along with engine providers Honda and partners ExxonMobil - are delivering a host of upgrades for the MP4-31 for the final test this week when Alonso and Button will learn how much lap time the team have gained over the winter. This weeks test is the really important one, Button, who will drive on Wednesday and Friday, told Sky Sports in an exclusive interview.Well now see where our improvements are. The guys have been working flat-out on the car over the winter and its been a good winter but now we have to see whether we get the gains we expect.This week Ill get a much better read into where the car stands.With team boss Eric Boullier predicting massive gains in 2016, Alonso was an encouraging third fastest on Day One of the second test. Its understood McLaren are trialling a new type of fuel in the Spaniards car as well as the engine Honda expect to use at the start of the new season.Its massive for us to have a partner like Exxon and this should be another chunk of time to look forward to, Button added. According to Boullier, the new Esso fuel could be worth a double digit boost in horsepower. Every race live in 2016 Sky Sports F1 brings you every race live in 2016.

Only Ferrari currently also boast an all-champion driver line-up and Button is convinced that the experience he and Alonso bring to McLaren will be vital in their quest to return to the front of the grid.This is the perfect partnership for this team because we have our heads screwed on, Button explained. In terms of development it really helps. I think hes regarded as one of the best drivers to have ever driven a Formula 1 car. Weve both won world championships and having been in that position you can get through the pain of last year. I think weve moved this team forward.
