McLaren boss Martin Whitmarsh takes responsibility for Jenson Button's poor showing at the Canadian Grand Prix.

McLaren boss Martin Whitmarsh has admitted to failing Jenson Button during the Canadian Grand Prix.

Button endured a torrid time in Montreal, as an oil leak resulted in the 32-year-old sitting out much of Friday's practice session before he ran out of new sets of tyres during qualifying.

"Jenson is a great racing driver, but we served him badly over the weekend," said Whitmarsh.

"His rear tyres were completely shot because we didn't long-run with his suspension set-up on Friday.

"That was our fault. We didn't give him a car he could perform in."

Button finished 16th and is now 43 points adrift of teammate Lewis Hamilton.
