Button to miss Canadian GP qualifying

Jenson Button will miss qualifying for the Canadian GP and will be sentenced to a comeback race at the Gilles Villeneuve circuit in Montreal following his ERS problem encountered during the last practice session at the origin of the second red flag.

McLaren-Honda, which has already changed the Power Unit of Fernando Alonso this weekend, announced that its engineers did not have time to precisely identify the origin of the mechanical problem, which forced the 2009 world champion to skip qualifying.
