”The most important thing is to understand why I didn’t have any pace over
the weekend on low and high fuel.
”Even if qualifying doesn’t go well, normally we can get some good points in
the race, but I couldn’t look after my tyres and I didn’t have any pace.
It’s something that’s a concern.
”Yes, Lewis did a fantastic job in qualifying, and the team did well to
produce a car like that.
”In the race you can say Lewis again did a good job by finishing eighth,
which he should be happy with, but still the pace isn’t there.
”It was a worse weekend for me, but if you look at Lewis’ pace in the race, I
still don’t think it’s where you would expect us to be.
”My fastest lap of the race was 2.6 secs slower than the quickest overall,
which is just strange, and I don’t understand why that is.
”And it wasn’t one end of the car I struggled with, it was both. I’ve never
been in a position like that. It was very extreme.”
With Williams’ Pastor Maldonado claiming victory, for only the second time in
Formula One history five different drivers and five different constructors
have won the first five races.
Button is scratching his head at that one, adding: ”It’s not just us.
”The Red Bulls did a better job at the weekend than us in terms of points,
but still they weren’t quick when you compare them to Williams, Sauber,
Lotus and Ferrari.
”Five different teams winning five different races, we really don’t know
what’s going on, and I think that’s the same up and down the pit lane.”
