Melbourne Australia Formula 1 Brawn Button & Barichello

Yes the 3 B´s against all odds pulled it off in Australia this afternoon.

Brawn GP (previously Honda) during the winter thought at any time that they would have to join the Credit crisis and shut their doors. I believe that Ross Brawn purchased the company for one pound sterling (($1.40).

Niko Rosberg has set the fastest practice this morning making it 3 fastest practices in a row. This afternoon it was Jenson Button and Rubens Barichello (remember him being ordered by Ferrari in an Austrian GP to pull over and let Michael Schumacher win?) fighting
it out until the last minute as to who would take the honours for pole. In the end it was the Brit from the Brazilian. It was only several days ago that Rubens knew that he had a drive for 2009

Richard Branson climbed on board the new team as a Sponsor with his VIRGIN brand name for Brawn GP
