True, but they are the ones spouting the temperature as a reason...
Either way, a huge testament to the ability of both Jenson and Vettel lapping 2+ seconds faster per lap!
Hopefully he can keep this form up. Last 3 races have been brilliant, but again to qualify 3+ tenths down on Lewis on such a short track here is not good enough. I recognize Lewis is pretty special around this place but that gap is too big. The issue is becoming big because on Saturday Mclaren no longer have a buffer over Ferrari. So if Button doesnt perform theres a chance both Ferraris will sit in front, and maybe Nico too.
