He was heard on the crew radio voicing his displeasure at the newcomer's methods in defending his line. When he eventually cleared the Toyota driver, Button was ready to construct a guide of a few and a 50 % seconds on him in a solitary lap. Barrichello was unable to maintain the pace needed to manage his lead above Webber, and in the 1st spherical of pit stops, the home town driver was passed by the Australian before coming below fire from Robert Kubica.
