Button downbeat after qualifying

Jenson Button has spoken of his frustration following the completion of qualifying for tomorrow's European Grand Prix in Valencia.

The McLaren driver encountered a number of problems with his car which resulted in him only managing ninth place on the starting grid.

Looking ahead to the race, Button warned viewers not to expect an "exciting race".

"The last run in qualifying, I had a massive amount of front locking, I just couldn't slow the car down," he told BBC Sport. "I couldn't stop locking my fronts. We're in Valencia, not a lot happens here in the race.

"You can't overtake round here. The way the tyres seem to hold on for most people, I dont think it will be the most exciting race."

Button is currently eighth in the standings.
