Jenson Button insists there is a problem with his car after he finished last in Brazil during Sunday's grand prix.
The Briton, who is known for his wet weather skills, failed to make any progress through the field on Sunday, but doesn't believe the rain was the problem as he struggled during a dry qualifying session too, failing to escape Q1 when team-mate Fernando Alonso made it through to Q3.
"After today’s race, we need to go back to the factory and work out what it is that’s wrong with the car," he said after the race.
"During Friday practice, it was working really well; I was comfortable with the car and in the high-speed corners we had a strong rear-end. Yesterday, it wasn’t working, and today it was further exaggerated by the conditions.
"Finishing last is unusual for me in conditions like these – so there’s definitely something wrong. I don’t think I’ve forgotten how to drive in the wet…"
When asked about the conditions and whether the race should have been run at all, Button said the important thing was that nobody was injured despite several high-speed crashes.
"In terms of the restarts, those were very difficult conditions in which to judge what’s right and what’s wrong, but nobody was injured – and that’s the most important thing."
