MELBOURNE, Australia - McLaren's worst fears were realised on Saturday (March 13) when it suffered a humiliating start to the Formula 1 season with a woeful 2015 Australian GP qualifying session that left both cars at the back of the grid.
The sport's second most successful team in terms of race wins, McLaren endured one of its worst qualifying performances in decades and at the start of a new partnership with Honda.
Former champion Jenson Button, a three-time winner in Australia, will start 17th with team mate Kevin Magnussen alongside.
