Jenson Button and Brawn GP showed the world the Britain can still win motor races.
Jenson put the Brawn GP on pole for the Spanish Grand Prix at the Circuit de Catalunya and went on to win. He didn’t get the best start that honour went to Rubens Barrichello, who got off to a flyer from third on the grid to lead into the first corner. Jenson had to follow Rubans until the second round of pit stops when Jensons strategy allowed him to get past Rubans. This takes Jenson to four wins so far and a 14 point lead in the championship. We move on to Monaco in two weeks time can Brawn GP Maintain their impressive form.

This weekend is one which petrol head and race fans can spend the entire weekend watching motorsport. The second round of the 2009 MotoGP continues at the twin ring Motegi in Japan, can Rossi show Stoner how it’s done and get back on his winner form of 2008. Rossi made a good start to the weekend by going fastest in Friday practice, but only by 0.05 seconds. We also have the 250s and 125s Can Bradley Smith stay at the sharp end? Will Scott Redding show his form? Can Marco Simoncelli return to 250 with a win?
Round three of the F1 championship sees the drivers in Bahrain can Jenson and Brawn GP regain their winning form.
In Assen the World Superbike boys are back for the forth round the Dutch TT. Can Haslam and Sykes take the fight to Haga and Spies? In world Supersport can Cal Crutchlow take another win and extend his lead in the championship?
The weekend should provide more close racing action, 2009 is looking like being the year of the motor race.

From pole leading all the way, from start to finish Jenson lead the race to
finish with the win. Rubens managed to bring the second Brawn GP car home in
second to end a fantastic first race of the 2009 F1 season.
An action packed race full of incidents lead to a thrilling finish, Jenson
in the Brawn had the car to beat and no one could get close enough to take its maiden
victory away. Rubens had a couple of taps but his Brawn took them well and he
kept it on the track unlike Vetal and Kubica who took each other out in the
closing stages of the race. Disappointing for Kubica as he was closing on
Jenson for the lead, whether he could of passed him for the win is another
matter. The loss of Vetal and Kubica meant the Rubens got up to second and the ensuing
safety car meant that Jenson on had a few hundred meters to run to the finish.
The party in Brakley will carry on long into the week and the smiles on Ross
brawn, Sir Richard Branson Jenson and Ruben’s faces will take a while to fade.
With only on week to the Malaysian Grand Prix we hope that they can continue this
form. Once again F1 is looking like entertainment.

Rubens completes the front row for an all Brawn front row.
What a first qualifying for Brawn GP the first race they turn up at with
only two testing sessions and a couple of months to their name and they lock
out the front row of the grid. We have to hope that Jenson and Rubens can
continue their form and get the race results. We will find out tomorrow morning
(coverage on BBC 06:00 - 09:00), this could be the season that brings excitement
back to F1. We wait with baited breath for an early start tomorrow.
