Button dismay at race retirement
Jenson Button rued his bad luck after retiring from the British Grand Prix after just nine laps when he spun off with his Honda engine in flames.
"It's not gone my way this weekend but you could say that for the last race as well," said Button, who started 19th on the grid after a poor qualifying run.
"It's massively disappointing. I was going well, the car was feeling good and things were looking sweet.
"We deserved a lot more today. I could have got points - I know that."
He added: "It's a shame for the British fans because that was a good race. Personally I felt I was very quick and it is so much fun here in front of the fans."
But the Englishman, 26, admitted that his problems were more than a case of mere bad luck.
"We need to improve in certain areas and we will," he said.
