A clutch problem for the Honda racer
Honda`s pre-season promise faded in a fit of bad reliability when the flag dropped in Bahrain.
New signing Rubens Barrichello, who struggled all weekend alongside Jenson Button, pounded around in the lower midfield as his transmission lost a gear.

Button`s promising second row start, meanwhile, went begging in a groan of malfunctioning clutch.

"We were genuinely as quick as anyone out there," the Briton said. "I was on the line and then nothing happened. I just hope it is something we can fix quickly for Malaysia.
"

Team principal Nick Fry thinks that, without the glitch, 26-year-old Button could have challenged Fernando Alonso and Michael Schumacher for the victory.
