F1 ブラジルGP バトン 予選コメント
Jenson Button believes there is "something not right" with his McLaren MP4-31 after he slumped to a Q1 exit during qualifying in Brazil.
Button had been inside the top 10 in Friday's pair of practice sessions but cooler conditions on Saturday left the Briton further down the pecking order.
While McLaren team-mate Fernando Alonso qualified in 10th, having also set the seventh best time in Q2, Button was only 17th fastest.
"The car was really well balanced on Friday, and I was 10th quickest in FP2; [on Saturday] it was a completely different car," he explained.
"There's definitely something not right – there's no reason why the car should feel like it does; we're off the pace and it's frustrating.
"When the conditions are cooler, you tend to pick up a little more rear grip and stability, and in high-speed the car is so on the nose.
"Then you destroy the rear tyres for the low-speed corners; you don't have the grip because the tyres are damaged."
Conversely, Alonso was lifted by the continual progress he was able to make.
"We were a little bit worried after FP3 as we weren't completely on the pace, and I was even more worried when I saw Jenson go out in Q1," he said.
"I just thought, 'This isn't going to be our Saturday!' but – happily – my car behaved fantastically on each of the five Option tyre-sets I used in qualifying.
"The car just kept on delivering: I kept finding an extra tenth each time I went out, just finding a little extra at the limit."
