Button extends lead

Button extends lead

SAKHIR – Jenson Button consolidated his lead in this year’s title race with a masterful triumph for Brawn GP in yesterday’s closely contested and supremely tactical Bahrain Grand Prix.

The 29-year-old, who won in Australia and Malaysia and finished third in last weekend’s rain-soaked race in China, came home 7.2 seconds ahead of German Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull, the victor in China.
A delighted Button, who had set off from fourth on the grid, said: ‘Phew! That was a tough race, not at all easy. The team did a brilliant job. We haven’t had the pace here that we showed we had at the first two races so it was important in other ways.
‘For me, the first pit stop was very important and luckily I made it work thanks to getting into third place at the end of the first lap. From there on, it was tough, but it was really enjoyable. A more satisfying win than any other because it proves we are here to stay now.’
Italian Jarno Trulli, who started from pole for Toyota, finished third ahead of defending world champion Lewis Hamilton in his McLaren Mercedes and Brazilian Rubens Barrichello of Brawn.
In sixth was Finn Kimi Raikkonen, who finally claimed points for Ferrari, so ending their hugely disappointing start to this season and avoiding the ignominy of recording their worst start in history.
