Job done for Jenson Button and Brawn GP.
post race celebrations |

Well it didn’t quite go down to the wire but it was still a very exciting race in Brazil where Jenson Button came from 14th on the grid to finish 5th in the race. With his closest championship rivals Sebastian Vettel and Rubens Barrichello finishing 4th and 8th respectively this put Jenson into an unassailable position in the drivers standings with a lead of 15 points with only one race to go (at Abu Dhabi in November). The pressure of the past few months is now well and truly lifted and as you can see from the post race pictures, this means an awful lot to both Jenson and the rest of Brawn GP. |
Rubens was gracious in defeat in what has been a close fight between the two team mates. He said after the race, “I am pleased for Jenson, as a friend, and as a great champion, and if I didn’t win, he should have won it, so well done to him.”
As team principal and owner of Brawn GP, Ross Brawn said, “Jenson’s drive today was the the drive of a world champion.” I’ll echo that and say “Well done Jenson on a great drive in Brazil and becoming the new Formula 1 World Drivers Champion!”
