The nerves in the Brawn GP garage must be tense during the build up to what could finally finish off the best debut year for a Formula 1 team. Brawn, just 0.5 points away from securing the constructers championship must feel like that is definitely theirs this weekend, however their drivers fortunes are less clear.

Jenson Button is currently leading his closest rival, Rubens Barrichello by 14 points, with Sebastian Vettel a close third with 69 points. Both Barrichello and Vettel can mathematically win it this year if Button doesn’t come through with the points, so with the constructers done and dusted, it’s down to Brawn to ensure that one of their drivers hits the top spot.

Button just needs to secure a podium this weekend at Brazil to take the drivers title this weekend, even if Barrichello was to win. That may be a tall order when you look back at his recent achievements. Most say that he’s gone off the boil since his 6 out of 7 wins at the start of the season, his luck also played well in recent races.

Brawn have struggled since those first 7 races, Silverstone a real low point for an excited Button, who just couldn’t figure out what was wrong with his “awesome” car.

Who knows… with a snipsy bit of luck this weekend (and we all know Jenson has had a fair chunk of that already this season), he may just walk away with the drivers title. However, what the fans really want to see is Button steaming through, showing his talent, and making it count.

The fans want luck to play no part…. remember Brazil last year with Lewis? It felt good, but just not THAT good!
