Comments: It's Jenson Button at the top step of the podium again. This time with his merit, not behind Safety Car (Australian Grand Prix) and not behind Red Flags (Malaysian Grand Prix). It is truely the Brawn GP packagae that gave Jenson Button, his deserved win. Note that Jenson Button's car is not the fastest car in the pack. Sebastian Vettel picked up another podium finish, closing up on Jenson Button on the Driver's Championship. Lokking on the Constructor's Table, Brawn GP is now on 50 points at the top of the table with Toyota and Red Bull Racing behind, with some more than 20 points away. Ferrari finally picked up some point, courtesy of Kimi Raikkonen. It is also worth noting that the BMWs were last of the packs, without any updates to the cars. This shows how dynamic Formula One is as if development stays status quo, the cars could be falling behind in the race. The next race will be back at Europe and BMWs are having a major upgrade. We'll see if there's any shift in power then...
