Spain 2009: Fantasy Racers Update
A mixed result from the Fantasy Racers competition this time around, with some teams doing well and making up places while others doing less well and losing ground. No changes were made to the teams after Bahrain but after the Fins and Italians retired en masse (or finished in last place) perhaps I should have [...]
Spain 2009: Pitstop & Tyre Strategies
The pitstops and tyre strategies proved interesting for the Spanish Grand Prix, with eventual race winner Jenson Button being switched to a two-stopper despite the team’s simulations indicating that three stops was the faster option. Rubens Barrichello remained on a three-stopper and finished the race in second. All drivers started on the soft compound apart [...]
Spain 2009: Button Leads One-Two For Fourth Win Of Year
Jenson Button has made it four wins from five races as the Brawn driver lead team mate Rubens Barrichello over the line for a one-two and an extended lead in both championships.

Spain 2009: Live Race Notes

Spain 2009: The Grid
A great qualifying session has once again resulted in a Brawn driver at the front, and although Rubens Barrichello pushed hard during all three stages, it was Jenson Button who finally came out on top with a last gasp corker of a lap. Alongside the Briton is this season’s only other race winner so far, [...]
Spain 2009: Who Is Your Favourite For The Spanish Victory?
Jenson Button has clinched pole position for tomorrow’s Spanish Grand Prix, but it was closer than he would have liked and the chasing Red Bull of Sebastian Vettel looks to be on good form in P2. Rubens Barrichello had the upper hand on his team mate prior to the final qualifying run and is perhaps [...]
Spain 2009: Jenson Button Claims Pole On Final Last Gasp Attempt
Jenson Button has claimed his third pole position of the season on a last lap flyer that almost didn’t happen thanks to the Brawn team cutting it very fine with the time. However, in a car that Button hasn’t been fully comfortable with all weekend, the Briton managed to pull a good lap out of [...]
