Button: All the pressure is on Webber
« on: October 08, 2010, 01:18:09 PM »


I think Button left out the biggest reason!!Red Bull is
clearly supporting Vettel and Mark knows it's this year
or never for the WC




.
.1 of 1.....The mind games have officially started as Jenson Button says while Mark Webber he may be talented, he may not be able to cope with the pressure of leading the title race.

With four races to go, Webber is leading the Drivers' Championship by a slim margin of just 11 points over Fernando Alonso. The latter, though, is not the only World Champ in the race as both Button and his McLaren team-mate Lewis Hamilton have a shot at glory.

And it's that trio of Champs who Button is putting his money on as he believes their past experience could help them overhaul Webber as the Red Bull driver feels the pressure of being in an unfamiliar position.

"There are a lot of very talented drivers in F1 and when you feel you are under pressure you can make mistakes, so it could possibly make a difference," said Button.

"We all say that Lewis, Fernando and myself, we have all won a Championship, so maybe that is less pressure - I don't really know. But I feel a lot more relaxed this year than I did last year.

"Mark has found himself in a position where he is leading the World Championship and has worked very hard for that, but it is a very stressful position to be in. And no disrespect to Mark, he is a very talented driver, but it is a position he has never found himself in before.

"We will see how he copes over the next few races. He has a very quick team-mate as well, and is trying to claw points back on him. So there will be a lot of action over the next few races.

"It is about keeping your car clean with no tyre marks on it, but also pushing it to the limit and getting the most points you can. It is a tricky compromise but that is what makes it fun."


Mark Twain once opined, "it's easier to con someone than to convince them they've been conned."

I think if he can stay ahead of Alonso, it's a wrap. He really just needs to stay in the points to beat the others.
