Jenson Button has vowed to maintain his ‘steady Eddie’ approach as he closes in on the Formula One world title.
With a 15-point cushion over Brawn GP team-mate Rubens Barrichello with three races remaining, Button can wrap up the championship in Japan this weekend.
Button simply needs to bag five more points than the 37-year-old to take Lewis Hamilton’s crown, although that is a feat he has failed to achieve for the last seven races.
Button said: “People say if I finish five points in front of Rubens I can win the championship. I know that’s a fact, but my aim is to win the world championship and I’m not going to take any unusual risks.
“I’m just going to drive like I have been and hopefully that will be enough.”
“The important thing is to make the most out of the good times, but also the difficult times.”
“When it’s difficult you need to pick the points up and that’s what I have been trying to do.”
