Perhaps the last point of interest in the 2011 world drivers’ championship is the race for second place behind Sebastian Vettel.<\/p>\n
With a ten point advantage, Jenson Button is the favourite to beat Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso to the runner-up spot after Sunday’s season finale.<\/p>\n
“Winning (the race) here is not a high priority,” insisted Alonso at Interlagos, “but the motivation is that none of us like to lose anything,” he is quoted by EFE news agency.<\/p>\n
The Spaniard thinks he has “little chance” to beat McLaren’s Button to second place.<\/p>\n
“On a dry track I cannot really take ten points more than him, but with a strange race, such as can happen in Sao Paulo with rain and retirements, anything can happen,” he acknowledged.<\/p>\n
Alonso said he is “fairly happy” with his 2011 season, and confident that he will be “happier” at the end of next year.<\/p>\n
“The whole team has been thinking about the coming season for some time,” he added.<\/p>\n
