Button is a very strange case... when he finds a perfect set up he is very very fast. Anything other than a perfect setup and he several 10ths behind Hamilton.

It's a shame that Button is soo unadaptable to a car less than perfect.

do you not mean, a car that is set up less than perfect for button? Setup means everything for any type of racing, i believe what you said is the same for all the drivers on the field, which it looks like massa has really got a good setup underneath him for the past few races it seems.

I'm not sure we saw everything in FP3 from either the RB or the Maccas.

Button has been able to stay up there with them early in the weekends recently, but falls back in quali.

we saw McLaren adding gurney flaps at the FW. did Button run this at his fastest run? Apart from that I would agree that RB is running more Downforce ;)

I'd bet on a high 1:11 or low 1:12.

Didn't he have problems in FP1? He spent a long time in the garage and then when he did some laps John Watson on the radio commentary said the engine sounded like a bag of nail.
