Autosport.com - Button mystified by lack of speed Jenson Button was left mystified after being unable to make it past the first qualifying segment ahead of tomorrow's race in Hungary. "The car felt reasonably good today which shows that the balance is there so we didn't expect to be in this position," said the Honda driver after qualifying in 17th position. "It's strange to have a car which is feeling so consistent and to still not make it out of the first qualifying session. It seems to be a lack of efficient downforce which is affecting our pace. "I also lost two tenths at the first corner compared to this morning which is a massive amount of time when everyone around you is competing so closely. "It's very disappointing for both myself and the whole team," added the Briton, winner in Hungary last season. Is it ever going to get better for Honda? They really have had a nightmare this season, and with tracks such as Turkey and Spa coming up their shortcomings will really be exposed |

For the last time, why do they not use the Super Aguri chassis while they develop the 2008 car??? |

Button and Barrichello 17th and 18th at Hungary who would have thought that could happen 8 months ago. Last year they were 3rd and 4th before Buttons penalty, they dont really have the speed to improve either so it will be a long afternoon for both drivers. |

Thought from the title that Button just hadn't been keeping up with recent news....and was missing his American buddy from the backmarkers ![]()
