Ferrari ace insists no one can stop Brawn or Button
Although Felipe Massa insists he will fight until the bitter end, the Ferrari driver believes there's no stopping Jenson Button from winning this year's world title.
Heading into this weekend's Turkish GP, Button holds a 16-point lead in the drivers' standings after the Brawn GP driver joined a select few to have won five of the first six races of a season.
It has been an impressive showing from the 29-year-old and his team, one that has led Massa to proclaim that this year's world championship already belongs to Button.
"I'm not the kind of guy who gives up very easily, so I'll fight until the last corner of the last race," said Massa.
"But in my experience, Brawn will be champions. It's impossible to believe they are going to lose the Championship.
Difficult
"For me it's already over. It's quite difficult to believe Brawn will not score points anymore.
"They have a really competitive car with which it is easy to score points, so even if we win as many races as possible, they are going to be there."
Button, though, has downplayed Massa's claims, saying the title is not yet his to celebrate.
"It's definitely not going to be a walk in the park, and you can see that by the competitiveness of the other teams," said Button.
"If you looked through the data of every race we've been to, the lap times of certain teams are as competitive as us. We've just done a better job over the weekend.
"They will get it right, for sure, but hopefully not too often."
