Button - World Champion

I managed to catch the highlights of the Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos yesterday, and was pleased to see that Jenson Button has finally come good and achieved the Crown of World Champion. I think many of his supporters would have liked to have seen him fly past the post in pole position, but by finishing in fifth place he has clinched his position as World Champion.

The race was pretty exciting, with more than the odd spin off in the first lap. Trulli didn’t seem too pleased with Sunil when they both climbed out of their respective cars!

It was on 25 05 09 that I wrote about Button under the heading of “Button – Next World Champion?” and gave a brief resume of his career to date.

Button is the second consecutive British World Champion, following last years win by Lewis Hamilton. At least we seem to have got it right in Formula One!!

Well done to Brawn on winning the Constructors Championship. Not a bad achievement in their 10 months existence!
