Jenson Button admits that overtaking will be difficult in tomorrow's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix after qualifying in third.

McLaren driver Jenson Button has said that overtaking will be difficult in tomorrow's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

The Englishman held provisional pole briefly before being edged out by teammate Lewis Hamilton only for the unstoppable Sebastian Vettel to grab his 14th pole of the year in the dying seconds, equalling Nigel Mansell's record from 1992.

"I think it is going to be tough to overtake with DRS," Button admitted after qualifying.

"Hopefully we will have a different story tomorrow in the race, we will have to see, but [the DRS zone] does feel short here.

"Yesterday I was using the DRS doing Turn 7 to Turn 8 and still could not overtake anybody."

Last year's inaugural race in the United Arab Emirates was infamous for the lack of overtaking.
