Two Champions in two years - the British ruling F1!

This weekend in Brazil Jenson Button sealed his first Formula 1 Drivers title, the second year in a row a British driver has taken the Championship. The link above takes you to the BBC Iplayer coverage of Button taking 5th place in the weekends race which was enough to give him the title he had waited so long for.

The 29 year old had a difficult time with the Honda team during the last few seasons and when Ross Brawn took charge of the new Brawn GP team no one was sure how Button would fair. Some thought that the forgotton man of F1 would continue to struggle and waste another season, others thought that his true class would shine through in the Mercedes powered car. In the end, the genius of Ross Brawn, combined with the excellent debut Brawn GP car gave Button the edge and confidence to achieve his life-long goal.

But where now for Brawn GP and Button? Sponsors will be lining up to jump on the success of the team and Button and both deserve all the opportunities that come their way after a fantastic season. However, will the fabulous performance be a flash in the pan? Firstly Barrichello will almost certainly leave the team and they will require a top replacement to give the team the strength they had this season. Secondly McClaren and Ferrari will not be happy with their 2009 seasons and will look to really step it up next year. The drivers they have in Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso are some of the most naturally talented drivers in F1 history and they will be battling it out with Button to take control of next season. Brawn GP certainly won't have it easy and its sure to be close run thing in 2010.
