Jenson Button had the Grand Prix of Canada let his teammate go first – but he showed a great performance. The McLaren-Mercedes driver was 2.254 seconds behind with the second position to the finish.

“This was a great race, a great pleasure and quite tiring,” said the reigning world champion. “The race was fun. It is very difficult to judge whether we were doing with the tire pressure. I think I’m probably in the last section gave some early gas, but that has brought me to the second rank. So one big thanks to the whole team. ”
Button was the fourth went into the race, while his teammate, who started from pole position: “This guy was phenomenal. This is a good finish in the race, I scored some points.”

The problems that existed in Montreal with the tires, has led to more tension, according to Button, “From this point of view it was an exciting race. It’s great to be at the top, and seeing the struggle between these two . It was fun, even for the spectators it was a great race, what one owes to the fact that the tires were a little different than usual. This has provoked an enormous race. ”
On his race engineer Jakob Andreasen had to give way button on race day – he had to leave before the qualifying, “Jacob is it bad this weekend. He was in the beginning of the work carried out on the set, part of the result is therefore of his.”

“I then Phil Prew had at my side, the chief engineer, and during the past few years has worked with Lewis. It’s always interesting to work with new teams and new ideas. I hope that Jacob’s well, and hopefully will we see him again back at the track. ”
