On paper, Montreal's Circuit Gilles Villeneuve should not be a good track for the team. It is among the tracks where engine power is most important in competitiveness and the Honda engine used by McLaren is the least powerful in F1.
But Honda has introduced a new turbo, which increases the efficiency of the engine's hybrid system, and the team also have a new fuel.
Button said that, in tandem with some specific qualities of the car, it should mean McLaren are in reasonable shape.
"This circuit has long straights, so it shouldn't suit us that well," he said, "but I think we're pretty efficient.
"We expected to be more competitive in Monaco and I think it's an efficiency thing. We don't have massive downforce, but we have efficient downforce, we also have very good braking, so here I don't think it will be too bad.
"We have more efficiency from the turbo which is great and new fuel from ExxonMobil, which is a good upgrade, about 0.1secs, which is a lot from fuel. So I'm happy with that."
