Video: McLaren travel to Japan in optimistic mood

After the Singapore GP, the world championship title is mathematically all but out of reach for Jenson Button and McLaren. To claim the title, the Englishman would have to win all the remaining races while Sebastian Vettel was scoring zero points in each – the odds against which are astronomical.

Even so, the team are travelling from Woking to Japan in an optimistic frame of mind. For Lewis Hamilton, who is now officially out of the championship hunt, the only remaining target is to notch up victories in the remaining races.
