Button “an extraordinary feeling”

The Brawn GPs are performing well, that's a fact, but the weekend did not start off ideally. Jostled in free practice by the Ferraris and the Williams, undermined today by Jarno Trulli in qualifying, Jenson Button finally managed to take his second consecutive pole position, the 5th of his career.

Button “an extraordinary feeling”

Sous son casque, après s?être emparé du meilleur chrono, Jenson Button a certainement retenu son souffle jusqu?à ce que Jarno Trulli boucle son ultime tour lancé. L?Italien a tout donné au volant de sa Toyota, mais pour neuf centièmes, la pole position revient à Jenson Button. « Cette séance a été vraiment disputée » admet le poleman. « Réaliser deux pole positions de suite c?est incroyable, c?est un sentiment vraiment extraordinaire. Ce circuit est différent par rapport à celui de Melbourne. Les essais libres ont été compliqués, car nous n?étions pas contents de l?équilibre général de la voiture. Nous avons cependant trouvé la solution. La course sera difficile demain. Il fait très chaud. J?utilise une combinaison rafraichissante. C?est un petit handicap en poids, mais c?est un gros avantage en confort. »

Satisfied with his second place, even if pole position was playable, Jarno Trulli is above all very optimistic for the race. “Everything comes together to make the race beautiful. I didn't expect to find myself there, because yesterday we were not satisfied. Today the car performed very well. It's a shame to miss pole by so little, but so encouraging for the race. It?s much more pleasant to ride at the end of the day, rather than at the beginning of the afternoon, like in freestyle. Only the end of the day is conducive to storms, so you have to expect everything. »
