Back-To-Back Wins For Button In Australia

Button, who switched from Brawn as the reigning world champion, seized on mid-race brake failure for Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel to storm to a 12-second victory in a highly-eventful second GP of the season.

The 30-year-old Briton cruised away ahead of Polish Renault driver Robert Kubica and Ferrari's Felipe Massa of Brazil to claim his eighth win in 172 GPs and back-to-back Australian victories. Ferrari's Fernando Alonso finished fourth to retain the world drivers' championship lead with 37 points, ahead of teammate Massa (33) with Button improving to third spot on 31.
