Relaxed Button buckles up for Brazilian battle

JENSON BUTTON has insisted he will never accept team orders but will know himself when the time is right to help McLaren team-mate Lewis Hamilton’s title challenge.

Button is 42 points adrift of Formula One championship leader Fernando Alonso and nothing but a win in Sunday’s Brazilian Grand Prix will do if the reigning world champion is to remain in the hunt ahead of the final race in Abu Dhabi.

The chances of a Button win look slim though, with the Red Bull pair of Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber dominating both practice sessions yesterday. Button was fourth and then seventh in the respective runs.
