London, June 17 : F1 ace Jenson Button has blasted critics who accused him of being a moaner, as he has frequently been heard on the McLaren radio during races describing the problems with his MP4-27's handling.
The Australian Grand Prix winner insisted he was only relaying information to his team so they could fix the problems at the next pit stop.
"It's not moaning. People say, 'He always whines'. You are not whining. It is about developing a car through the race. It is what drivers do," the Daily Mirror quoted Button, as saying.
"If you drove round and didn't say anything for the whole race, you are doing something wrong," he added.
The criticism comes as the 32-yr-old sunk to a three-and-a-half-year low of eighth in the race for the drivers' world championship.
After winning the opening round in Australia, Button has scored just 20 points from a possible 150 in the last six races.
However, a majority of the points lost have been down to the mistakes of his own team or car failures.
