Any remote hope Hamilton had of catching Button disappeared when he slid his McLaren into a tyre wall during qualifying on Saturday for the Monaco Grand Prix after threatening victory during practice.
As for Hamilton, he now trails Button by 42 points, and barring a miracle, the 24-year-old's reign will be for one season only.
It is now all eyes on Button, and Hamilton for one is right behind him as he said: "Jenson and the Brawn team are doing a fantastic job this year.
"Clearly, he is in the best position to win the championship. All the best to him. I'd definitely put my money on him."
