Jenson Button is bitter

Jenson Button finished the grand prix in sixth position. The Briton regrets having lost so much time behind the Ferrari by Felipe Massa at the start. “I had a good start, although I was surprised to see Petrov inside, explains the pilot McLaren. He forced me to go wide and I got stuck behind Massa. It was the worst that could happen to me: he was very slow and he is one of the most difficult drivers to overtake. He blocked me well and that slowed me down. I then tried to overtake him, he pushed me wide and I couldn't turn the corner anymore, so I cut him off. I didn't really know what to do anymore. The team told me to keep my position. But as soon as Ferrari saw this, they stopped Massa and demanded a drive-through. It's very frustrating because my pace was much better. »
