Vettel does not give up

Sebastian Vettel is not the type to give up so easily. Driven by unshakeable confidence and an iron will, the young German has just won the fourth victory of his career at Suzuka. Back to 16 points behind the championship leader, Jenson Button (Brawn GP), two races from the end of the season, ?Baby Schumi? has adopted the adage of Michael Schumacher : ?Until it's over, it's not over.?

In Brazil, on a track that he appreciates for having hoisted his modest Toro Rosso in fourth place in the GP in 2008, Vettel will simply aim for victory. “ I can't wait to go to Sao Paulo “, he says. " The track is great, the fans are happy and the city is full of good restaurants! », he enthuses. “ Now we are looking forward to the last two races; the championship remains open. We will try to do our best and try to win the last two races! There is a long way to go but we are here to fight. »

Supported by an entire population and in particular by the seven-time world champion, Vettel knows that he must perform flawlessly to hope to win the title at the end of the year while hoping for a misstep from the Brawn GP drivers. Indeed, if he were to win on Sunday and Button finished 5th at worst, Vettel would no longer be able to catch up with the Brawn GP driver. Many uncertainties therefore remain a few days before the start of the Brazilian Grand Prix which promises to be very exciting.
