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.

After an action packed start to the season at Phillip Island, the World Superbike are at Losail, Qatar this weekend. With the race on Saturday rather than Sunday practice and qualifying is already underway, with the Brits putting on a good show again. Especial Cal Crutchlow who tops the timesheets for supersport Thursday qualifying. Jonathan Rea is right on Ben Spies tail in the superbikes, with Shane Byrne looking good to make up for his two DNFs at the Island.

With only a shakedown test at Silverstone and three days at Barcelona’s Circuit de Catalunya, Jenson Button topped the timesheets with an unoffical time of 1:19.127 on esecond faster than that of Felipe Massa's Ferrrari and two and a half seconds faster than Lewis Hamilton's McLaren.

Could this be a Jenson with a renewed hunger to win and show Lewis how it's done? We have to hope so, Jenson has always shown that he has the ability to be pushing at the front and hopefully 2009 will be the year he has the car to do it in.

With only two weeks until the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne and three more test days in Jerez next week, F1 could be interesting again.
