Brawn GP creates history, does a 1-2 in Australian F1 Grand Prix
Brawn GP has created history, winning the Australian F1 Grand Prix on their debut !
In a completely topsy turvy race, marked by several accidents, Button and Barrichello did a 1-2, leading to a dream finish for Ross Brawn, who only recently bought the team from Honda.
There was of course some indication of how good they were, when they finished the qualifying yesterday in the same order, becoming the first debutant team in 39 years to finish 1-2 in qualifying.
The actual race was a different thing altogether, with accidents and skirmishes galore, and the safety car was called out quite often, including the last couple of laps, when Kubica tangled with Vettel. It all boiled down to a simple fact; the one who could keep out of trouble, and keep his car out of trouble would win the race / finish in the points ! 
For Ross Brawn, this is not a new experience, as he’s been the master tactician and strategist behind many Michael Schumacher victories while at Bennetton and later at Ferrari. If anything, he needed some sponsors, and he’s found a backer in Richard Branson, who’s Virgin Group has inked a sponsorship deal with Brawn GP. It may be recalled that Branson himself had plans of buying the Honda F1 team, but nothing came of that.
Cheers, Ross !!
