Button falls back into anonymity

This is a situation that has never happened to Jenson Button since he had a Brawn GP steering wheel. Winner of six of the first seven races of the season, the Briton remained on the podium when Sebastian Vettel had established itself in China. This time, he started from too far (6th). For the pilot, this ??bad?? performance is only a question of tires. “ If the tires don't work in a certain configuration, no matter how good the car is, it can't work. That was my problem. »

In addition to the tires, Jenson Button explains the lower performance of his car due to the low temperatures prevailing this Sunday in Great Britain. “ The departure went well. Rubens (Barrichello) managed to stay ahead of Massa and Rosberg. But the pace was not there. The car behaves this way at low temperatures. »

Finally sixth, Jenson Button could be pleased to score three points which could prove important in the fight for the title. But the Briton judges this race quite harshly and hopes not to relive a similar situation. “ I hope this race was the worst of the year. And after fighting to keep these three points, it could be three important points. » With 23 points ahead of Rubens Barrichello and 25 over Sebastian Vettel, Jenson Button still has time to see it coming?
