Button helps fellow island resident to overall victory

STEERING clear of the runaway world champion was the key to Louise Sargent coming out on top of this year's Rubis Fantasy F1 competition.

After the 19-race season, it was Sebastian Vettel who cruised to his second championship title, the youngest-ever double champion, with the title sewn up with five races to go.

But Sargent opted against choosing the German, instead picking her favourite driver and championship runner-up Jenson Button in her five-driver team.

'I was delighted to win the competition, but I was surprised to be honest,' she said.
