McLaren's Jenson Button yesterday said just finishing the Australian GP was a triumph of sorts as he remained upbeat despite coming in 11th and last. The three-time race winner wound up just outside the points for McLaren, but it was a starting point after a torrid time wrestling with an unresponsive car. "Today has been a good day. We're still a long way off, but this is a good starting point - I enjoyed the race," he said.
