Schumacher insists Vettel can still win

Berlin: Formula One`s seven-times world champion Michael Schumacher insisted Tuesday compatriot Sebastian Vettel can still win this year`s drivers championship with two races left to go.

The Brazilian Grand Prix takes place in Sao Paulo on Sunday and Schumacher says Vettel, who currently lies third, can still make up the 16-point gap behind Britain`s Jenson Button who has 85 points. "Mathematically everything is still possible, and I will keep my fingers crossed for him," Schumacher wrote on his website. "He still has the chance to win the title and this fact alone is already a big success for him.” "I am sure he will do everything possible to produce a good performance in the next two races." Schumacher, 40, retired in 2006, but planned to make a return this season before a neck injury ruled him out. Vettel, who has 69 points, won the Japanese Grand Prix on October 4, his third success of the season, while Button has six victories under his belt and leads the table with Rubens Barrichello in second on 71 points. After the Brazil Grand Prix, the season finishes on November 1 in Abu Dhabi. Bureau Report
