Button confident of challenging Vettel

After Jenson Button's second win of the season in Hungary, his confidence is sky high. After the race he said he hopes to beat Sebastian Vettel, Points Leader, in all the remaining races. Vettel is 100 points ahead of Button in the table, but he is confident his Car has made a step forward.

He is also confident that the racing wheel to wheel between him and his team mate Lewis Hamilton is fair, and that its the right decision for the team to make. He said 'If they had said back off and sit behind your team-mate, it wouldn't of happened'.
Button is confident his car has the pace, yet his fastest lap was only 6th fastest, half a second down on Massa's fastest lap. This is most likely due to the tyres he was on at the time, and that he did not have to push in the final stages of the race due to a large gap behind.

Going into the summer break, its a great time for all the drivers to relax, but not too much as they have to be back in fighting shape for Belgium on the 27th August. Jenson is going to Hawaii along with his girlfriend Jessica Michibata, and i hope they have a great time relaxing after such a stressful and action packed first half of the season.
