Jenson Button – BBC Sport
Jenson Button drops to five places on the grid for the Japanese Grand Prix because of the change of gearbox by McLaren on his car.
Button’s car has the same problem that forced his team-mate Lewis Hamilton to retire while leading in Singapore.
McLaren will fit new gearboxes to both cars but Hamilton will not be penalized because Hamilton was unable to finish the race.
Hamilton announced last week that will be the possibility to play his last season with McLaren after signing a deal with Mercedes.
“This is a great disappointment for Jenson and the team,” said McLaren technical director Paddy Lowe. “On the positive side, we have understood and completely resolved the issue, allowing both drivers to compete with confidence for podium positions.”
