Button: “I hope for a Saturday with less wind”

Love and spring generally bring euphoria. But not to Jenson Button. Recently paired with ex-rabbit Brittny Ward as gossip claims, the Englishman from McLaren, author of 29 laps, analyzed the seasonal debut in Melbourne marked by rain, with a lot of realism and little desire to dream.

“They weren't two easy sessions. In fact, even when the surface dried out the wind was blowing at 50 km/h, making managing the single-seater really complex. Usually in conditions like this it is difficult to stay on the track, so I sincerely hope that the weather on Saturday will be a little more lenient” – the reflection at the end of the day which ended in 1th place in FP8 and 2th in FP7 .

“For the rest we focused on the engine and the ground clearance of the MP4-31. We would have liked to do more but it wasn't possible” – she underlined.

“Regarding the new qualifications, I don't know if the spectators will already be able to understand tomorrow. However, it is likely that we will see some errors even if in general we are all prepared” – the conclusion of the 36-year-old from Frome.
