Briton says handling better, but qualy will still be difficult

Jenson Button has admitted that McLaren's chances of returning to Q3 at their home British GP are currently looking "very unlikely".
Team boss Martin Whitmarsh admitted that the Friday morning rain had been particularly untimely for McLaren, but remained hopeful that they could work their way up the order over the remainder of the weekend. "We do seem to have been affected by an unusually high number of rained-out Friday practice sessions this year. While it's the same for everyone, it can be frustrating when you're trying to run through a large and intensive programme of testing," he said. "While we were able to get quite a lot of mileage under our belts, there's still plenty of work left to do. It's been a difficult day, but with drier weather forecast for the next two days, we're hopeful of making progress."
