Jenson Button moved within six points of the world championship lead on Sunday with a superbly judged victory for McLaren in a dramatic Australian Grand Prix that firmly gave the lie to suggestions that Formula One racing is boring.
In what has to be the most random podium finishes of the season, Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen became the sixth different victor in six races, and his first for 2009, with a closely-raced success in Sunday’s Belgian Grand Prix, in which his KERS system played a crucial role in the opening stages. Interestingly, perennial loser Force India came in second, after the team’s Giancarlo Fisichella took pole in qualifying.
Jenson Button made it six from seven as he ran away and hid from the Red Bulls of Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel in Turkey on the afternoon of June 7, 2009.
Newbie team Brawn GP continued their streak of wins, as Jenson Button dominated the Monaco F1 Grand Prix at Monte Carlo on Sunday, with team-mate Rubens Barrichello behind him. Jensen, the current points leader, grabbed the lead at the start, eased quickly away from Brawn team mate Rubens Barrichello, and ran home to a comfortable victory.
In an outcome that is becoming repetitive, Brawn GP’s Jenson Button made a dominant display, this time at the 2009 Spanish F1 Grand Prix, at the expense of team-mate Rubens Barrichello’s error. The championship leader took the chequered flag 13 seconds clear of the Brazilian with Mark Webber making good use of strategy to finish third in the leading Red Bull Renault.
Jenson Button scored his third victory of this season on April 26 in the 2009 Bahrain F1 Grand Prix. His Brawn GP car continues to amaze on its barely-sponsored debut.
Brawn GP’s Jenson Button made it two wins in a row after he won the rain-shortened 2009 Malaysian Grand Prix. A rain storm caused the race to be red-flagged, and then there was not enough daylight left to allow it to continue. Button found out he was the winner while sitting in the car on the grid for a restart that never came. But the top eight finishers only received half points.
