Jenson Button admits that he has to start qualifying better after another disappointing weekend for the former world champion.
Button suffered his second retirement of the season in Monaco as he tried to force his way through the field which saw him make contact with Heikki Kovalainen and damage his own car.
But Button was down the field at the start of the race after failing to make Q3 on Saturday and so he was outside the top ten.
And this put him out of touch with the guys at the front of the race and they were places that he was never able to get back.
Speaking to Sky Sports F1 after the race he said: "It wasn't really a fight with Kovalainen. If you place your car in the right place you can't overtake and he kept doing that. It's impossible.
"It's quite frustrating when you're so much quicker and you can't overtake. Anyway, game over - at least I didn't have to do the last eight laps, that's one way of looking at it, and feel pain for even longer.
"But it's over now and we can look forward to qualifying better and then not getting unlucky. We were very unlucky at the start and that's what dropped me down so far. So, yeah, tough weekend."
Button is now down in seventh on forty five points and is thirty one points behind the leader Fernando Alonso.
