Australian GP, 2009

This is for all those who missed yesterday's Historic Day in Formula 1.

It was only in the year 1954 that a Debut Team finished with one two positions in the first race of the season. That day was the beginning of a team none other than Mercedes Benz, presently the indomitable team. And as some great person has said history repeats itself but this time its not Mercedes Benz but Brawn GP. Brawn GP considered as an underdog taking the one two positions both on pole and the race.

Brawn GP, which formed 20 days back, which was in all kinds of problems with the Honda withdrawing their names from F1, with Ross Brawn(previous Ferrari Technical Head from 1999-2003 the hay years of Ferrari) being named the Team Head with much deliberation form his colleauges, with promosied racing slots for both Jenson and Rubens. All these things happening at the time when there was no funding for the team. In the midst of all this they found a messiah, Richard Branson of Virgin fame who after a lot of speculation invested in this drowning team, to only know that he has made a wise decision. With the careers of Jenson Button and Rubens Barichello hanging, as to whether they would be driving or not for 2009. As it is said the winning swords are always weathered to the roughest of storms, Brawn GP an example to this statement, the champions of Australia GP.

Jenson Button won in 2006 and Rubens Barichello in the year 2004. Starving for the last 2 to 4 years for a win with a team like Honda who follow a autocratic rule was more frustrating than challenging. Jenson whose likes were compared to that of Micheal Schumacher when he was with BAR till 2006 and immediately to be at your lowest of your career must have been shattering. Rubens, always a second fiddle to Micheal (even with the great calibre he had) when he was with Ferrari sought a better future when he shifted to Honda. But to his dismay, he found it to be worser than he thought at Ferrari.

Jenson and Rubens who are much like the fathers of the sport in the present scope of competition, have gotten their share of wins in the season starter. Its too early whether this continues or does it end like a dream is the thing to been seen for the coming days. Hope Ross Brawn pulls the right strings for these win thirsty daimons.
