Button, champion of victories

Jenson Button, by finishing fifth in the Singapore Grand Prix, consolidated his first place in the general classification of the world championship. Formula 1. However, there is a possibility, albeit slim, that he could be joined by Rubens Barrichello or Sebastian Vettel by the end of the season. Something that would not have been possible if the new way of awarding the title of world champion, based on the greatest number of victories, had come into force at the start of the year. Indeed, Jenson Button would have been declared Formula 1 world champion this weekend, in Singapore, thanks to his six victories acquired at the start of the season, Rubens Barrichello and Sebastian Vettel having only two successes this year.
