Drivers: Jenson Button (Brawn GP), Rubens Barrichello (Brawn GP), Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull Racing)

Questions from the floor:

Q:
(Juha Päätalo – Financial Times Germany) Jenson, it has been kind of a strange season. You have won six races but the last one goes back to Turkey. Since then you have more or less kept the distance to the other. How is it going towards the end and having not won for a long time but still having that lead?

Jenson Button:
As I said this is not a one race series. It is 17 races and as you've said I've kept the lead over the last few races. If you look after Monaco I had a 14 or 16 points lead, I cannot remember what it was, and I still have a 14 point lead now. If I knew I would have the same lead after Monaco I would have been very happy at that point of time. I am not in such a bad situation. That's it.

Q:
(Joris Fioriti – APF) Would you say that you have been controlling the whole season?

JB:
I have not purposely gone out to finish in the points but not win the race, for sure. I go out to get the best out of the car at every race that I compete in. I have led the championship all the way through the season, so it is a different situation to the people chasing. It has to be. They need to be more aggressive than I am. I don't want to just finish in the points. That has never been my objective but there are situations that you don't want to put yourself into and you can have an accident. You have got to be a bit cautious in some areas but also in other areas you need to be aggressive, otherwise you are not picking up points at all. I think I have had a reasonably good balance of that.

Q:
(Frederic Ferret – L'Equipe) Sebastian, firstly how do you rate Sao Paulo for your car and, secondly, do you think Mark could be helpful for you in the battle for the championship with the trial he made in Suzuka and the fact he is no longer in the race?

Sebastian Vettel:
This circuit should suit us. You still have a lot of corners where you need the downforce and it seems that is our strength, so we are looking forward to it. On the other hand you don't really know what to expect as this year has been very much up and down. You have seen different teams at the top. I think this weekend the teams with KERS will be also very strong as you have got places when you a have a steep uphill and you need the acceleration. It will be exciting to see that. For your second question, I think first of all it is a good thing not to have the situation they (Brawn) are facing, they have to race each other. It is a shame for Mark that he is not any more in the race for the title, but we are a very strong team. We are working together hand in hand and I think if the situation should come up, then I think he is the last one to deny any help.

Q:
(Ian Parkes – The Press Association) Rubens, you announced earlier in the week that you were in discussions with Williams and you're also speaking with Brawn. Is it a distraction having to discuss your future while you're trying to fight for the title and is it also a disappointment that you're having to look for another team potentially, despite your best season in Formula One with Brawn?

Rubens Barrichello:
It was a distraction last year when I got here and I had no jobs; that was a distraction because it was tough going in not knowing if I could come back, wishing that I was there all the time. So to be able to talk to teams and just to see myself in a competitive car next year is all I wish. My focus has been a long, long time into this season. In a way I'm so proud that after the race in Silverstone I have kind of turned things around a little bit and I was able to really get a lot of speed out of the car, with the car working for me as well. So no, I'm fine, it's no distraction, it was really a distraction last year to see if I had to consider it as my last race or not. I didn't want it to be, but things were tougher than they seemed to be.

Q:
(Andrea Cremonesi – La Gazzetta dello Sport) Sebastian, you have used all your eight engines; which kind of engine are you going to use here? Have you already chosen at the previous race? It could be a handicap.

SV:
I don't know exactly which one; one of the ones that we have left. I think the last couple of races were good for us, because it was often wet on the Friday, for instance Spa or Suzuka, and in the wet you have less running, so everyone does less mileage and so did we. So we saved mileage without paying too much of a price. So it shouldn't be a problem here. Interlagos has always been a circuit that in dry conditions is improving quite a lot. On top of that, we don't know if it will be wet or dry, so we will see how much and how many cars are running tomorrow. But it shouldn't be a problem.
