Jenson Button, taking the checkered flag just ahead of compatriot Lewis Hamilton, albeit with the current World Champion a lap down, won the Spanish Grand Prix on Sunday to chalk up four Formula One victories in five races. Statistics hold that Button's season start has secured the Frome, England, native the 2009 driving title. Twelve races remain.
This first race in Europe represented a chance for a change in the New World Order. Most teams had installed upgrades. But Brawn GP and Red Bull strengthened their positions as the teams to beat.
