'McLaren won't win at British GP': Jenson Button

British Formula 1 (F1) driver Jenson Button has admitted that his team McLaren will not win at the British Grand Prix this weekend following a horrible start to the season.

McLaren has been battling with major performance issues with its cars, resulting in a torrid few races for Button and teammate Fernando Alonso.

The former world champion has managed to score points just once this season when he came eighth in the Monaco Grand Prix earlier this year, while Alonso retired from five of the seven races he has started due to engine reliability issues.

As a result, Button admitted that he won't win the British Grand Prix at Silverstone on Sunday, but said he remains optimistic for the future.
