The fate of the constructors' world championship is currently in thehands of the Suzuka stewards, after Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel wondominantly in Japan and the two Brawns managed just three pointsbetween them.
As it stands, Brawn GP missed out on wrapping up the title on Sundayby a mere half-point, but it has emerged that Williams' Nico Rosbergwill be investigated by the stewards for driving too fast in safety carconditions.
The German finished the race in fifth place, but if he is demoted,Rubens Barrichello and Jenson Button may move up the order and collectthe point they need to push Red Bull out of mathematical contention forthe teams' title.
"I have got one point, maybe two so we will see," said Button on BBCradio. "But either way I have only lost one point to Rubens so that isgood and I can't imagine us not picking up another point each."
The British championship leader now leads Barrichello with two racesto go by 14 points, while the gap to Vettel diminished by 9 points onSunday to 16.
"He's (Vettel) got nothing to lose," said boss Christian Horner. "He just has to win the next two races."
