Jenson Button World Champion
After all the pressure and all the questions surrounding Jenson Button’s challenge for the F1 World Championship, the Brit produced a championship winning performance at Sao Paulo yesterday.
Main rival Rubens Barrichello suffered a rear puncture late on which meant he could only finish in eighth place and with Jenson storming through the pack from a disappointing starting grid position of 14th to finish above his rival in fifth, the race to be champion was over.
Jenson started the season perfectly winning six out of the first seven races but the Brawn car (and Button himself) has not been performing well enough recently putting his title bid in doubt. All was forgotten yesterday when Button finally fulfilled his potential and gave Brawn a World Champion and constructors Championship title in their first season in F1.
