 Completely insignificant in terms of championship points, the 2009 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix concludes the F1 season.

And a late puncture for Brawn GP [...]  Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel brought his world championship hopes alive again with a superb victory in Japan on Sunday afternoon, winning as he pleased and leading Jarno Trulli’s Toyota home by 4.8 seconds despite a late safety car intervention. Lewis Hamilton was third for McLaren, another 1.5 seconds adrift, after losing out to Trulli in [...]  Lewis Hamilton won the nighttime 2009 Singapore F1 Grand Prix on Sunday evening, driving a perfect race for McLaren to deliver a richly deserved triumph.

In what has to be the most random podium finishes of the season, Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen became the sixth different victor in six races, and his first for 2009, with a closely-raced success in Sunday’s Belgian Grand Prix, in which his KERS system played a crucial role in the opening stages. Interestingly, perennial loser Force [...]  Rubens Barrichello finally has a win for Brawn GP, coming in first at the 2009 European F1 Grand Prix in Valencia with a performance that brought him home just over two seconds ahead of McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton, whose pit-crew cost him the win.  Red Bull Racing’s Mark Webber started off from pole and went on to win this Sunday’s 2009 German F1 Grand Prix.

Jenson Button made it six from seven as he ran away and hid from the Red Bulls of Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel in Turkey on the afternoon of June 7, 2009.  Newbie team Brawn GP continued their streak of wins, as Jenson Button dominated the Monaco F1 Grand Prix at Monte Carlo on Sunday, with team-mate Rubens Barrichello behind him. Jensen, the current points leader, grabbed the lead at the start, eased quickly away from Brawn team mate Rubens Barrichello, and ran home to a comfortable [...]  In an outcome that is becoming repetitive, Brawn GP’s Jenson Button made a dominant display, this time at the 2009 Spanish F1 Grand Prix, at the expense of team-mate Rubens Barrichello’s error.
