Button: “The updates planned for Spain will not be enough”

Clearly in trouble despite some good overtaking there McLaren it leaves China with a strong bitter taste in its mouth and the moral obligation to work day and night for recovery, as boss Boullier said, currently more complicated than expected.

“It was quite a difficult race, similar to yesterday's qualifying when I couldn't get the tires to work,” he said Jenson Button, 11th – In Barcelona we will have some updates which however will not be enough to close the gap to the strongest. It's quite frustrating to get results like today's given that the guys in the team are doing the best they can."

“The grand prix seemed very long to me because in reality I was able to do very little – he said Kevin Magnussen, 13th – The lack of load is our main problem, so the set up is fine, it's just a question of grip and for this reason now we will have to roll up our sleeves and find that downforce we need”.
