Jenson Button retired from the Monaco GP in 2010 following a big mistake by one of the mechanics. The latter had forgotten to remove the cover of a socket on the pontoon of his car, causing the radiator to overheat. The Briton then retired on the 3rd lap of the race.

Nevertheless, Jenson Button remains confident in his team and hopes to reach the finish this time. “ That year's very short race couldn't have been worse », analyzes the pilot McLaren. " It?s a strange (feeling) to give up and then follow the race on board a boat. It didn?t help me for the Championship, but fortunately we didn?t experience that again. »

Jenson Button experienced many problems in Monte-Carlo since he was unable to participate in the race in 2003 and 2005. ? I had a lot of races in Monaco where I had to just watch. I hope that will not be the case this season and that I will have a good race », adds the Briton.
