Button does not mention the title

Jenson Button has been the favorite for the title since the start of the season. Winner of the first Grand Prix, in Australia, holder of six victories in the first seven races of the year, the Briton has had the “label” of the next world champion for many months. If the summer Grands Prix suggested a return of its rivals (Sebastian Vettel, Rubens Barrichello), Jenson Button is now very close to being crowned. “ There are many possible scenarios this weekend, there are three drivers who can still win the title and I am one of them », Confided the Briton to Skysports.

« This circuit is fast and many drivers come to enjoy it here. As far as I'm concerned, I don't come here hoping to win the title. », continues the Briton. Although he has sometimes disappointed, Jenson Button has always been able to score points regularly, except in Belgium, where he was taken out after a collision. Last weekend, in Singapore, the Brawn GP driver was able to snatch fifth place after qualifying in twelfth position. The Briton, however, confided that this poor qualification was not due to his car. “ In Singapore, it was my fault. We tried a number of different things to strengthen the balance of the car in Q2, but it probably wasn't the best thing to do. I couldn't really get a good time. »

Despite the fact that he does not arrive at Suzuka to win the title, Jenson Button is nevertheless in a good state of mind. “ I am in very good shape. Last weekend, the race was very interesting. We managed to make up for our bad Saturday. » Three races before the end of the season, Jenson Button even gave his first assessment. “ It was a very eventful season. There were ups and downs. But if it was that easy to win a title, everyone could do it. »
