Jenson Button and Ross Brawn have orchestrated a remarkable season-opening for Brawn GP with the British driver leading the World Championship by 12 points from his team-mate, Rubens Barrichello.
But as the season heads back to Europe for the Spanish Grand Prix after two weeks’ time the critical issue for Brawn is whether they can keep their noses in front of the chasing pack. The two-week break gave the traditional heavyweights of the sport the chance to introduce big upgrades with new diffusers and aerodynamics packages. Times Online
Team principal Brawn believes the Brit just needs to keep putting in top performances and the drivers’ championship could be his.

Brawn said: “It’s up to us to produce the performance in the car, do the pit stops, the strategies, and make sure the car is reliable.
“So I am optimistic. We have some great drivers, the rest is up to us.” Fox Sports
