Even if his team did not achieve a third consecutive victory, Ross Brawn is satisfied with the outcome of this race: “This 2009 season is definitely very exciting! Jenson and Rubens did a great job finishing the race in a good position. We had a good strategy, but the Red Bulls were clearly the fastest with the same amount of fuel. Congratulations to them for their double today. We know from Australia what the feeling of such a result can be and I am sure that they will savor this moment to its fullest. »

There was a good fight with Mark Webber for a few laps, but I had to give up. Ultimately, reaching the finish line of such a race is a victory in itself. »

“My start to the race was made difficult by a brake problem. I only had three discs working for the first 19 laps,” added Rubens Barrichello. “The problem resolved itself when the brakes warmed up after my first refueling. I had a good pace, but it was too late to come back? »
