Marina Bay (Singapore), Sep 25(ANI): Reigning Formula One champion Jenson Button has vowed to be aggressive in the final five races of a thrilling championship title battle.
Button is bidding to be the first Brit to defend the drivers' crown, and he also knows that he cannot afford another 'Did Not Finish' if he wants to pull it off.
With 165 points, the 30-year-old is currently 22 points behind championship leader, Red Bull's Mark Webber (187 points).
"The most important thing for all of us is to finish in front of all the others who are fighting for the championship. But if you look at this season it means that you have to be on the podium every race from now on," The Sun quoted Button, as saying.
"None of us can be consistently fifth now. We have to be consistently in the top three. I am going to be aggressive in these remaining races. But it has to be a controlled aggression. If you have a 'Did Not Finish' it's very difficult to win the title."
"I can't have another DNF towards the end of the year. But, then, no driver can. And if you're not aggressive, you're never going to fight for the title. I am 22 points behind, so I have got to go for it. There is no other way, but I am excited about it," he added.
Button will begin his challenge with Sunday's Singapore Grand Prix. (ANI)
