F1 champ Button down on qualifying performance

ABU DHABI -- Newly-acclaimed drivers world champion Briton Jenson Button was left frustrated and disappointed on Saturday after qualifying only fifth on the grid for Sunday's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

The 29-year-old Englishman, who drives for the Brawn GP team, said he had hoped to qualify on the front row of the grid.

Button had secured the drivers' title with his committed drive to fifth in the Brazilian Grand Prix and wanted to celebrate his achievement with a fight for victory in Abu Dhabi. He blamed his car's handling in the final top ten shootout section of the qualifying hour.
