The title fight continues to Brazil

Given Jenson Button's recent form it was always going to be difficult to rap up the title in Japan. With Barrichello not making it easy for him by any stretch of the imagination and Sebastian Vettel also looming in the background its not impossible to concieve that the title fight could go down to the last race in Abu Dhabi. Its been amazing to see how setting new regulations for the sport could have such a strange season. Button dominated the start of the season winning six out of the first seven races but since that last win in Turkey he's only graced the podium once (in Italy) Brawn have slipped down the pecking order slightly in the mid to late part of the season with Red Bull, McLaren and most notably Force India making a lot of improvement. The next race takes us to Brazil with Rubens Barrichello having home advantage which has got to count for something. Brawn look set to claim the constructers championship in their first season needing only half a point to be crowned champions. Sebastion Vettel will probably go into Brazil the most confident after a great win in Japan, he trails Button by only 16 points and who knows, he might end up pulling off a "Raikkonen"! Also he's only two points behind Barrichello so the fight for second is most definitly on!!
