Button issues resolved?

The Director of Operations at McLaren Mercedes, Simon Robert, believes that the 2009 world champion of F1 should return to the game from Valencia since the Woking team thinks it has found how to improve Button's performance thanks to a comparison carried out during the Canadian Grand Prix between the two MP4-27s.

« I think Canada was very interesting because we had both drivers running the same car and they had the same elements available. “, explains Simon Roberts. “ Even though they were able to adapt the settings to their driving style, we clearly have something different in terms of tire performance and car performance. »

« We were able to capitalize on this fact and there was a lot of work done at the factory to analyze the data and verify everything. At the moment we are pretty confident that there are no issues with Jenson's car and that there is nothing fundamentally wrong with the settings but, with the intricacies of these cars, there were a few differences. We have identified them and I think we can be optimistic for Valencia. I think we can have a slightly different approach to give him a car that suits him better in qualifying and in the race. »
