Question: Are you happy with your grid position? Are you where you expected to be?
Jenson Button: I think we should be really happy about where we are. My Q3 was quite a mess. I got stuck behind Rosberg, and then Massa had a spin. Also my lap in Q2, which I didn’t complete, could have been much quicker. I didn’t get the maximum out of it, so therefore we should be very happy about where we are. We are also very happy with the package that we have here. It is a massive step forward to what we had in testing. So we should be very pleased about what the team have achieved. This car is still at a very early stage, as we have not done much testing this year. So for it to be reliable and reasonably quick it will still take some time.
Question: Looking back on testing, you didn’t have the easiest time with the car and its reliability…
Jenson Button: Yes, it has been a very tough winter for us as a team, as we did not have reliability and also not that much speed, which was very tricky. We came here with a new exhaust system that has been reliable since the first moment, and this is amazing. All the boys and girls back in the factory should be very proud of what they have achieved here today. Now the next stop is Red Bull. Even though, if you look at Sebastian’s time, we are still not in that league.

Question: If you look at the situation with Red Bull and Vettel, are you reminded of Brawn and yourself in 2009?
Jenson Button: I didn’t have eight tenths on anyone. But yes, their pace is unbelievable. We are a little surprised that we are right behind them and have a little gap to the ones behind us. But having a gap of eight tenths on Lewis is a lot. Even if Sebastian had put together a very good lap, the gap is quite big. I think we have to forget where they are at the moment and just be happy about where we are.
