With a 25-point lead in the Drivers' championship over Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull), Jenson Button (Brawn GP) can be titled this weekend at Suzuka. However, Nick Fry wants to be cautious and refuses to declare victory. “ We still take the races one after the other “, he tells Autosport. “ We are aware that Red Bull not only has talented people but also a budget twice ours? and they can achieve many things in the next two races. »

« All it would take is for us to be a little unlucky and for them to be lucky, then the situation could only be resolved during the last race », he adds. With respectively 25 and 42 points ahead in the Drivers' and Manufacturers' championships over their direct pursuer with three GPs remaining in the season, the situation is however comfortable for Ross Brawn's men.
