McLaren, Button: “We couldn't do better than this”

In Malaysia the McLaren He's looking for redemption. Compared to Australia there is some improvement, also because both riders qualified among the top ten and experienced fewer difficulties compared to last weekend, but there is certainly still a lot of work to be done.

He admits it Jenson Button who finished eighth in qualifying for the Malaysian GP. “I don't think we could have done better at this time – explains the British pilot -, but having said that, for being only two tenths behind the driver who won the Australian Grand Prix last weekend (Kimi Raikkonen, ed.) in Q3, we didn't do that badly".

“In the third part of qualifying the track was wet, but in Q1 and Q2, in dry conditions, it seemed like we were more competitive than last weekend - goes on -. We're not yet fast, but the guys are doing a fantastic job to get everything they can out of our car."

“As for tomorrow's race, well, when you have a fast car, you don't want it to rain. When you have a slower car, however, you want it. Today, however, we didn't have great pace on the intermediate tires in Q3, when it was raining, so all I will say is that as always it will be a tough battle and we'll see what happens.", concludes Button.

The other McLaren driver, however, Sergio Perez, finished qualifying tenth.
