| drivers with an excellent opportunity of winning | | | | good races for him might see him overtake |
| the title. | | | | Button. |
| Let's take a look at their chances; | | | | Sebastian Vettel - The favorite of many, Vettel is |
| Jenson Button - Currently in first place on 72 | | | | only 3 points behind Barichello, on 53 points. He is |
| points, Button looked like a shoo-in for the title | | | | a young skillful driver with a bright future and |
| just a few months ago. In fact, critics were | | | | announced his arrival in 2008 by being the |
| complaining about how boring the season was | | | | youngest race winner in Formula One history at |
| turning out, with Button possibly winning the | | | | the Italian GP. However, he failed to complete at |
