After finally admitting that his 2010 title defence had slipped away, Jenson Button had a terrifying journey from the Interlagos circuit back to his hotel in the Sao Paulo suburb of Morumbi.

A few minutes into the drive in a bullet-proof Mercedes driven by a special armed chauffeur, bandits brandishing machine guns attempted to rob the 2009 world champion and his entourage.

The local driver sped away, smashing into five other cars, but McLaren confirmed that neither Button nor the other passengers - his father, manager and trainer - were hurt.

"My driver was a legend," Button told the Mail on Sunday. "He bounced off about five cars. We were driving over the top of them. It was very scary."

Earlier, the 30-year-old conceded after a disappointing qualifying session that his title chances are now essentially dead.

"Slipping away? It had pretty much slipped away before this race," he insisted.

Button also reported that he is unlikely to be able to help the championship challenge of his teammate Lewis Hamilton from 11th on the grid.

"It's pretty difficult when you're so far behind, so if Lewis gets a good start in I'm not going to be able to help in that way," he said.

Should let the chauffeur drive his maclaren might be quicker

[Chungster]

here we go...about to start!

i wanna see the hulk take out vettel on first corner...webber to go thru and win the race and give vettel the finger

hahaha.

[Chungster]

Surely they have to let webber win do he's only 1 point behind Alonso going into final GP??

You'd think that wouldn't you
Mr horner's comment about the drivers doing what is best for the team next weekend is laughable! In the situation EJ gave him you have to remember they are discussing the man who crashed into his very own team mate earlier this season, the good of the team is webber winning next weekend but vettle helping him do that, hmmm.. I wait to see what prevails..

[Chungster]

im thinking what vettel might do if mark was leading, vettel was 2nd and alonso 3rd.

will vettel "accidentally" over rev his engine and blow it up, giving the title to alonso. or just "maybe" go wide and let Alonso thru.

lol

there will be conspiracies i reckon!
