McLaren driver Jenson Button has blamed Lotus's Kimi Raikkonen for his early exit during qualifying at the Korean Grand Prix on Saturday.
The former world champion was on a flying lap in the second session looking to reach the top 10 when he was stuck behind the Finn through turns 11 and 12.
He told reporters: "It's quite frustrating: they're pretty quick corners, and, when you're that close to the car in front, it damages your lap.
"It's a pity: without that delay, I'm pretty sure I would've qualified inside the top 10."
By Button's own admission, the Korean International Circuit has proven a tough place to get results and the Briton recently said that he is looking to buck that trend.
He will start 11th for Sunday's race after Mark Webber's 10-place grid penalty moved him down the grid.
