Button: Still motivated for rest of season
Jenson Button insists he will remain motivated for the rest of the Formula One season despite Sebastian Vettel's imminent crowning as world champion.
The German is just one point away from successfully defending his drivers' crown after securing his ninth victory of the campaign in Singapore on Sunday.
Button made Vettel wait for one more race as he finished second at Marina Bay and is now the only driver who can still mathematically prevent the 24-year-old from winning the title.
But the British driver admits that he has no chance coming back to claim the championship, conceding that "we all know (Vettel winning the title) is going to happen at the next race".
That does not mean Button will be easing off, however, as he is as determined as ever to add to his tally of two race wins this year.
Wins
"You race for wins, which is the same as we do through most of the year anyway," the McLaren driver said.
"Winning races means so much to us and the whole team because it's there and then, not spaced out over a whole season.
"It's an hour and a half, and you either win or you lose, and when you come away with a win it's such a special feeling.
"There's enough satisfaction from that. Every time you win a race, no matter what the category, it's such a buzz.
"Winning the world championship is a far greater moment, but winning races is still very special. So that's the aim, and hopefully we'll be on top of the Red Bull at the last five races and we can challenge for those wins.
"We are behind them, and they are difficult to beat, but if anyone can it's definitely us."
