The British driver finished sixth yesterday, 46sec behind Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel but still has a healthy 23-point lead in the title race over Brawn GP teammate Rubens Barrichello and a 25-point advantage over Vettel.
"Red Bull have made a big improvement. They have got a lot of new parts in the car. But there are two other things as well. This circuit is very high speed, probably not our best part of the car. Also, it was cold," said Button.
"We can't get the tyres to work (in those temperatures). And there's hardly any braking here. Braking is the strongest point in our car. But here, you never hit the pedal that hard.
"So I'm not going to go away very disappointed. I lost seven points to Vettel, which is disappointing. But we could have come away with a worse result."
Button is convinced conditions in Germany will suit him more.
"Nurburgring is one the heavy-braking circuits. I know Red Bull's package is good but it will turn round. I'm not upset."
