Post Australian GP 2009

Podium:

1. Jenson Button (Brawn Mercedes)
2. Rubens Barrichello (Brawn Mercedes)
3. Jarno Trulli (Toyota), later converted to Lewis Hamilton(McLaren Mercedes) because Trulli apparently overtook under the safety car and was given a 25 second penalty on his race time.


Post race conversation between Button and Barrichello,
who qualified 1-2 for the Brawn Racing Team:
(Barrichello had a bad start and dropped back to 10th or it's whereabouts)

Button: Where were you after the start of the race, mate?
Barrichello: Oh, I got held up a bit.


This one's for the Brawn Racing Team, from being a Honda Team almost out of Formula One, to being bought by Ross Brawn about 4 weeks before the start of the season, with no sponsors till a week before the race when Sir Richard Branson proudly agreed to Virgin being the main(and only) sponsors to less than a week of testing to produce a 1-2 in Qualifying and the Race.

Hats Off..
