The Englishman has admitted their have been shortcomings from McLaren in recent outings but is staying upbeat on their chances.
He said: "The final back-to-back before we head into the summer break will be important for the whole team: coming off the back of a couple of disappointing weekends, it's important that we capitalise on the opportunities available in Germany and Hungary.
"Performance-wise, I still think it's difficult to accurately predict where we stand in the competitive order - Valencia and Silverstone were certainly difficult races for us, but I don't think they were truly representative of our pace.
"This year, you really need a problem-free build-up to the race if you're going to maximise the car's potential - and that's exactly what we'll be hoping for in Germany next weekend."
Button, who is 8889.00 to win the drivers' title this year and 15.00 to win the next race of the season.
