Brawn have to be afraid - Coulthard

BBC-commentator and Red Bull Racing advisor David Coulthard believes that his compatriot Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello should be really afraid of Sebastian Vettel as tension builds in the 2009 title bid.

With only two Grands Prix to go, Sebastian Vettel is only 2 points behind Rubens Barrichello and 16 behind Jenson Button, who leads the Championship standings.

Coulthard said: "To my mind, Brawn have to be afraid. Formula One is a crazy sport, anything can happen, with Vettel so powerful and Jenson scoring only one point in Japan.

"I give both of the Red Bull drivers advice, if they need it, but they are both wise enough and great racers; Sebastian is only 22 but did a fantastic job - he won this race in such a superb way, then he sits in the press conference and talks about how funny it was to drive and how he wanted to keep going and not stop - he's humble and not arrogant at all."

In 2007, Lewis Hamilton had a comfortable lead as well, but in the last races, the Briton lost his title to Kimi Raikkonen with only 1 point.
