Although Jensen Button finished the 2009 Brazilian Grand Prix in fifth place, but his overall points is now just out of reach for other competitors so he is now officially the 2009 Formula1 world champion! The Brit has been chasing this for many years, and finally he got it with a rookie team which was made from the leftovers of bankrupted Honda F1! But thanks to Ross Brawn who is really a Formula1 genius, Jensen has accomplished the ultimate goal of his life!
In the Brazilian Grand Prix Aussie Mark Webber finished first following by Kubica, Hamilton and Sebastien Vettel, the new star of F1, who managed to climb up from 15th place to 4th! He is now second in the driver’s championship ranking and almost certainly will hold on to it for the one remaining race i Abu Dhabi. He has shown great performance this year, and many believe that he can very well be the next Michael Schumacher.
But next season will be even more unpredictable as many new changes and transfers have already been announced, and that is a good thing!
