Jenson Button is expecting more twists in the Formula One title race and says he is still firmly in the contention to retain his championship.
With the four races remaining in the season, Button is currently 25 points adrift of championship leader Mark Webber, with three other drivers in between him and the Australian.
Fernando Alonso, Sebastian Vettel and McLaren team-mate Lewis Hamilton are all currently closer to the points leader than Button is.
However, the 30-year-old has seen how quickly the title picture can change in recent races and thinks the tables could turn on any of the five contenders.
"There's still everything to play for because one bad race can cost you a lot of points," Button said.
"That's still a very small gap, and compared to the two in front (Hamilton and Vettel), I'm only four and five points behind, so that is very close.
"Mark and Fernando have a bit of an advantage, but come the next few races, who knows who is going to be on top."
Button is now a clear outsider, though, and will likely have to rely on others to slip up in order to be crowned champion at the end of the season.
He added: "The fact there are still so many involved does makes it more difficult, but it is the same for all of us you could say.
"It also makes it more fun because you don't know who is going to come out on top, who is going to score big. You really don't know who you are watching out for.
"Trying to cover people in a race is tricky because there are four guys you are fighting against."
