Good Idea to sticky this one until It's over Flakey.

Thanks Louise.

I'm hoping to post a summary about the events of race weekends, starting at qualifiying.

That's my intention anyway.... lol!

That'd be great for people that follow it, Thanks.

I remember Blondie doing the same during the Olympics for us.

Such awesome Moderators we have here . . . Shame there's nothing we can do about that damn admin.

Jenson Button takes pole position in the qualifying for Melbourne GP, and looks in good shape for the opening race of the season.
Teammate Rubens Barricello is alongside in the no.2 slot making for a front row lock-out by Ross Brawn's new team.
With backing from Richard Branson and powered by engines from Mercedes it heralds quite some turn-around for the team dumped by Honda after years of mediocre perfomances.

Last years champion, Lewis Hamilton had his qualifying cut short by transmission failure. He would have started 20th after taking a penalty for a new gearbox except for the two Toyota's being sent to the back of the grid for infringing the rules with their rear wing.

Brawn GP take dramatic one-two victory in Melbourne

A great race for Jenson Button, who takes the chequered flag after leading the pack from start to finish.
Rubens Barrichello in a hard-earned second.
Jarno Trulli finished in third place but the spot goes to Lewis Hamilton after Jarno is penalised 25 seconds.

Edit - hoping I'm not treading on toes FlakeySugarButt by posting the results before you've had a chance to.

Another win for Button this week in the Spanish Grand Prix.
Four wins out of five races puts him well ahead in this years drivers championship.
Barrichello second, Webber third.

Button's doing really well so far this year! Not bad for a bloke who last year wasn't even guaranteed a drive this season!!
