Button happy with third in 'mad' session

The Brawn GP driver managed third on the grid at the Nurburgring despite some scares in the changeable weather of qualifying, which saw him down in 14th place near the end of Q2.

He said he had thoroughly enjoyed the frenetic session, even though the conditions had exacerbated Brawn's continued struggle with tyre temperature.

"Q2 was madness, it was good fun," said Button. "We were struggling with tyre warm-up anyway but when you chuck some water in there it gets difficult...

"Tomorrow is going to be interesting. The weather is looking similar to today so it will be wet, dry, wet, dry so you'll need a bit of luck, and to be looking at what people are doing.

"I am looking forward to tomorrow very much."

He added that he was not too concerned to only be third on the grid behind Mark Webber and Rubens Barrichello, as he felt it had been an achievement just to get safely through to Q3 given the varying weather.

"I think it is great for everyone in the top ten," said Button.
