McLaren driver Jenson Button has reportedly revealed his frustration with his car's handling in the Chinese Grand Prix on Sunday.

Button finished at the 11th and his teammate Kevin Magnussen finished at the 13th place at the Shanghai International Circuit.

According to the Mirror, the former world champion said that it had been pretty painful in Shanghai.

Button said that McLaren is a lot further behind than they were at the last race, despite getting some upgrades, adding that he does not feel that people brought that much development parts as they did in Shanghai.

The McLaren racer said that it was a disappointment for the team, because when one works so hard and they have such a bad result like the one in China then it is becomes tough.

Button said that he is hoping that people at McLaren's factory stay positive and update the car because at the moment it is not good enough.

The racer added that the tyres are just grain, adding that he feels that the car is an alright car, but they cannot get the tyres, which are one of the biggest things in Formula One these days, working.

Button is hoping that McLaren is able to solve these problems for the next race, the report added.
