Jenson Button's entry to Formula One a decade ago was meant to set the world alight -- so much so his autobiography appeared before he had turned a wheel in anger. But lo, victories and titles failed to appear. He struggled with contracts, and then with cars as compatriot Lewis Hamilton wrote the glory story that was to be his.
Now Button's promise has come good. The Englishman won Sunday's Grand Prix of Monaco in a pole-to-flag performance not offered by a Briton since Sir Jackie Stewart in 1973. Button dominated the proceedings, scampering away to lead by as many as 15 seconds and cruising through 78 laps to finish nearly eight seconds ahead of teammate Rubens Barrichello.
The duo posted the third Brawn GP one-two in six races and doubled the team's lead on the constructors field. Button boosted his points total to 51; Barrichello follows on 35.
