Jenson Button says he couldn't help but celebrate reaching Q3 at the Bahrain Grand Prix

Jenson Button says he couldn't help but get excited about scraping into Q3 at the Bahrain Grand Prix, even though he knows that's not a position he and McLaren should be in.
Button also predicted that tyre management will once again be key - the hot, dusty desert track at Sakhir placing a particular strain on a car's rear tyres. "That's going to be the case in the race - we're going to overheat the tyres," he added. "It's going to be very difficult to know when to pit, I think, during the race: do you wait for the degradation to fall off a cliff? Or do you pit as soon as you've overheated the tyres? "If you do, you're going to be doing a lot of stops."
