Interesting to hear that Lewis feels he has a good qualifying car and not so sure about race pace,Jenson on the other hand says he's not to happy with the low fuel set up,but feels he will have a good race car.
Could it be a repeat of Australia ?

That would make me reasonably happy, although I wouldn't mind seeing either Lotus or Mercedes driver on the top step.
I wouldn't choose between the two! I'm a fan of Mclaren and wouldnt choose a favourite driver as I'm a team supporter. I supported Liverpool as a child because I loved Michael Owen but I never stopped supporting them when he left. Don't get me wrong I love both of them guys but it's all about constructors for me this year
Jenson appeared to have another good start today. As they were going in to turn one, it actually looked like he might get himself in to a position to dive up the inside in turn two until Lewis pushed him further out. If these two keep locking out the front row, things might get interesting.
This is interesting now, Jenson looked sharp before his mishap, but those things happen, in itself the incident isn't a big deal or indicator. What I'm looking forward to seeing, is how Jenson reacts, he seems to be the type of guy who is great when its perfect, then gets really down when it isn't. Lewis normally reacts very sharply to setbacks, it helps him focus.
Maybe you could put it this way:
Lewis is a wild party boy who needs to wake up the next day and see his house trashed to focus, and it works for a while until the cycle resets.
Jenson is vice-versa, the neat freak who plans massively, until a loose guest or a small oversight sends him blubbering.
Massively over-simplified, and not particularly accurate I know, so don't shoot me.
you're dead!
Le coeur a ses raisons que la raison ne connaît point. 
Jenson Button admits he is enjoying life at McLaren, saying he is not thinking about quitting and will stay at the Woking squad for the "next few years". With a Formula One World Championship already in the bag following his success at Brawn GP in 2009, the 32-year-old could be forgiven for thinking about retirement. The thought of calling it a day has not crossed his mind though - and who can blame him as everything is falling into place at McLaren.
"Driving a good car always helps," Button, who won the season opening race in Australia, is quoted as saying by PA Sport. "And when you're able to fight for victories it makes a massive difference, in particular after you've been racing for 12 to 13 years in the sport. Because I'm racing for McLaren, it's a team that has achieved so much in its career in Formula One. Even if we have an uncompetitive car, you still believe in the future you will get a competitive car. You don't immediately think 'well, I've had some great times, it is time to leave'. You still feel strongly about building up the team and fighting for a World Championship again. If we get a bad car over the next couple of years it's not going to make me think 'it's time to give up now'. I'll still have fight in me and I'll want to get back to winning ways. But right now, I can't see a time when I might stop."
Button, who signed a new long-term contract with the Woking squad last year, says he is in for the long haul at a "passionate" McLaren team.
"I do feel very good here," he said, "we've a great atmosphere, everyone thinks it's a very cold, very grey team. I was expecting that a little bit when I arrived, but at that point I knew they normally build good cars and their history is very exciting. But there is a great passion here. People talk about Ferrari and them being very passionate, and they are. But I don't think most people realise how passionate this team is, and how much they want to achieve. So I'm very happy here, and you never know what's going to happen in the future. I'm not going to sign my life away, but I'll stay here for the next few years, definitely. I'm going to be here."
Another McLaren filled podium this week, and I'm thinking it would be safe to start considering placing bets on a new inductee into the two time WDC title club.
