Jenson Button believes his win in Hungary on Sunday means the fight for the title is far from over, despite trailing the championship leader, Sebastian Vettel, by 100 points. Buoyed by McLaren's race pace, irrespective of the rain at the Hungaroring, the driver feels his team can genuinely push Red Bull to the wire.
"You never know. If he [Vettel] has a crash, loses 25 points and our pace is as it is now, it is going to be a phenomenal end to the season," Button said. "As a team we are making the right calls and we are up there with them. In qualification they still have the edge but in the race we can have them."
After Lewis Hamilton's win in Germany and his own here Button is convinced their car is now a match for the opposition. "The pace has been there and the upgrades have been there and we have taken the fight to Red Bull - great to see the performance increase."
