Powerless to drive back the McLaren speedy Button in Japan, Finally Sebastian Vettel clear up third on the podium behind the Alonso, and many times he fight with Fernando Alonso.
"He has really proven himself this year," said Button. "I think last year he had some great drives but he was pretty inconsistent and had more incidents than I expected him to have, considering he won the world championship. But this year, he has been exceptional this year. He is doing a great job, and you don't win a championship without a great car. But he is doing what is asked of him from the team.
"He is driving very well. I haven't really spent that much time racing wheel-to-wheel this year, and I don't think many people have. The only real time was in Hungary, maybe once or twice before, but this year he seems a lot calmer. My memory goes back to Spa last year when we had our little incident. But since then he has been driving very well and, to finish every race on the podium except for one, is very impressive. You cannot do it without a great car, but he has done exactly the job he was asked to do."
