Button's rival in fine Vettel
Jenson Button is wary of a two-pronged Red Bull assault on his bid to return to winning ways in Germany this weekend.
Button has a healthy 25-point lead over Sebastian Vettel, with the German’s team-mate in Mark Webber a further 3.5 points behind going into Sunday’s race at the Nurburgring.
Following their one-two finish in the British Grand Prix just under three weeks ago, when Button could only manage sixth, ending a run of four successive wins, they are now the favourites to follow up on their success at Silverstone.
Although Vettel is the man being tipped for a third race win this season on home soil, Button believes Australian Webber is firmly in the running to end his 128-race drought without a victory.
“It’s going to be a difficult weekend,” assessed Brawn GP star Button.
“The Red Bull is not just Sebastian because I think Mark is going to be quick here.
“He has more experience round here than Sebastian does. Sebastian has never raced in an F1 car here.”
