Button makes it 3 out of 4
Brawn GP’s Jenson Button achieved his third victory of the 2009 Formula One season today at the end of an exciting Bahrain Grand Prix.
Team-mate Rubens Barrichello brought his Brawn-Mercedes car home in fifth position to score valuable points and consolidate the team’s lead in the Constructors’ Championship after the opening four rounds.
Jenson’s victory was set up with a strong opening lap which saw him pass Vettel at turn one before fighting with Hamilton round the first lap and taking his opportunity at turn one on the second lap. Jenson put in some quick laps to overtake the Toyotas at the first round of pit stops and controlled the race from there to take the chequered flag with a seven-second lead over Vettel.
Rubens ran a three-stop strategy to maximise his time in free air. After passing Piquet and Glock on track, he was able to close the gap to the cars ahead and build enough of an advantage to secure fifth position from Raikkonen.
As Formula One returns to Europe for the Spanish Grand Prix on Sunday 10 April, Brawn GP lead the Constructors’ Championship with 50 points with Jenson heading the Drivers’ Championship with 31 points and Rubens in second position with 19 points.
