Not for the first time this season, Jenson Button has fallen foul of Michael Schumacher, this time during qualifying for the Turkish GP.The last driver out in Q3 bidding to put his car on pole position - or at least as close to the Red Bull racers as possible, Button was behind Schumacher on the track.
But with the chequered flag waving and the clock having run down, Schumacher lost control of his Merc GP through Turn Eight, sliding into the gravel where his car remained beach.
The German's incident immediately brought out the yellow flags, which meant Button had to back off and settle for fourth place on Sunday's grid.
"Fourth is not too bad but the last lap was frustrating," Button told the BBC.
"Being the last car is sometimes a good thing but there's more chance of someone going off ahead and Michael Schumacher went off in front me, I saw the yellow flag and decided to come in.
"We are a lot closer to Red Bull than I expected.
"My biggest problem is Turn Eight and I think we've run the car too low. We'll have a lot of fuel on board for tomorrow so it will be tough on Turn Eight."
