Button - No title thoughts
Jenson Button has insisted he is not giving the Formula One title any thought despite looking every inch a world champion at the Monaco Grand Prix. The Englishman scored a comfortable win around the streets of the principality on Sunday, claiming his fifth win in six races held so far this season.Michael Schumacher was the last driver to perform such a feat in 2004 - the German going on to win 13 out of 18 races and take his seventh title.Even so, with 11 races still to come in 2009, Button is doing his level best to ignore the favourite tag now placed upon him. "I am not changing anything, we are just taking it all one thing at a time," he said. "I'm not talking about the world title."People say it is mine to lose, but I am not thinking or talking like that. There is a long way to go and I don't want to go there now."Button, who led home team-mate Rubens Barrichello as Brawn GP scored their third one-two finish of the season, also became the first driver since Schumacher in 2006 to win three races in a row.He screamed "Yeah, we got Monaco baby!" on his radio after taking the chequered flag - the moment obviously getting to Button as he then proceeded to park his car in the wrong place.The 29-year-old eventually had to run down the start-finish straight to the royal box for the prize-giving ceremony."I thought the race was tough, but it was only when I had to make that sprint with my helmet on that I realised how long the pit straight is!" Button joked."Before the weekend, I said that this race means nothing different to me - but that was just to stop putting pressure on myself and so to win here is just fantastic."As a kid, I grew up watching this race on television and it is something special. It is just such a great event. It's so different to anything else and it is great to come away with a win."That's why I screamed 'We got Monaco baby!' to my engineers. A one-two here is exceptional for the Brawn team, for a new team. "It is just staggering what we have done this year and this is a great moment."
