Brawn GP driver Jenson Button has won the Formula 1 Drivers’ World Championship today at the Brazilian circuit of Interlagos, after crossing the line in 5th position, having started from 14th. Teammate Rubens Barrichello finished in 8th position after dropping down the pack due to inferior pace and a puncture in the closing laps.
The track was dry, unlike the qualifying on Saturday. However, this didn’t make the start of the race clean, but instead quite chaotic. Barrichello managed to hold off Webber, whilst Raikkonen overtook 2 cars before the end of the pit straight. All cars managed to get through the first corner without a hitch, something unusual at this circuit in the last years. However, at the exit of turn 2, Heikki Kovalainen was hit from behind and spun on the track. Giancarlo Fisichella, in an attempt to dodge the McLaren, exited into the grass outside the track, but kept the car under control and brought it back onto the circuit. After that, Kimi made an aggressive move on Webber to try and secure the inside line for the 4th corner, but the Australian would have none of it and swiftly blocked the gap, causing the Finn to break his front wing on the Red Bull’s rear left tyre. He managed to keep the car on the track and began to make his way to the pits, as car after car overtook him. Meanwhile, Jarno Trulli and Adrian Sutil (who had lost positions at the start) were having a battle of their own, which resulted in Trulli taking turn 5 too wide, slipping on the grass and re-entering the track sideways, colliding with Sutil. Sutil was launched out of the track, and bounced along the grass until he hit an unsuspecting Fernando Alonso. Trulli reprimanded Sutil quite aggressively, for what he believed was an intentional action by the Force India star to force him out of the track. The Safety Car was deployed, and McLaren changed their race strategy on the spot to an effective one-stopper by pitting both drivers. Heikki was released sooner that he should’ve been, and trailed a leeking fuel hose alongside him, drenching fellow countryman Kimi Raikkonen. The Ferrari’s high temperature exhaust inmediately ignited the fuel and caused a brief but frightening blast.
When the safety car came in on lap 6, Kubica took Nico Rosberg at the Senna S. Jenson Button, who had managed to reach 9th position after starting 14th, took it upon himself to win the Championship at this circuit, and performed several outstanding overtaking manoeuvers to scale some more positions. However, young Sebastian Vettel followed close behind, as did both McLaren drivers, these two being benefitted undoubtedly by their KERS. Button found debutant Kamui Kobayashi to be a hard nut to crack, and only managed to pass him on lap 24. He then pulled an impressive 3.6s ahead of Kobayashi within just a lap and a half. Up front, Barrichello was failing to put some space between himself and Mark Webber, and his pit stop release into a pack of traffic only made matters worse. Mark Webber made his pit stop and kept 1st place until the end of the race. Jenson pitted on lap 29 ahead of his German rival, and swiftly overtook Toro Rosso’s Buemi. However, Sebastian Vettel managed to leapfrog Button in his second pit stop, and proved impossible to catch from that moment onwards.
On lap 31, Williams driver Kazuki Nakajima collided with the rear end of Kobayashi’s car as the Toyota driver exited the pit lane. Barrichello struggled greatly for pace with a heavy fuel load and cold tyres. Lewis Hamilton, who had started 17th on the grid, had been steadily advancing up the pack until he reached 4th position, and, not satisfied with that, started to pester the Brazilian for a podium finish. On lap 63 he had his way, and overtook him by sheer speed at the pit straight. To add insult to injury, Rubens suffered a slow puncture from a minor brush with Lewis, and had to pit for a new set of tyres. When he was released back into the race he was 8th, and his teammate 5th. His hopes of snatching the title off Jenson were gone for good.
Felipe Massa waved the chequered flag as Mark Webber crossed the line, followed by Robert Kubica, who performed an excellent race having started from 8th position, and Lewis Hamilton. Jenson Button, crossing the line in 5th place, was mathematically the 2009 World Champion before celebrating the last race at Abu Dhabi. Furthermore, Brawn GP is the 2009 Constructors World Champion, only 10 months after Honda decided to pull out of Formula 1 and Team Principal Ross Brawn buying the team just weeks before the season started, with no sponsors and at a great risk to himself. Well deserved titles for both driver and team.
