Seasons first race ends with History being re-written by UK based Brawn Mercedes. It was 1954 when another UK based F1 team Mercedes Benz won their maiden debut race. With a 1-2 finish by Button and Barrichello(former Ferrari driver along with Schumacher) followed by contending champion Lewis who made a podium finish by coming third in a dramatic turnaround where Trulli was given a 25 second penalty by steward taking him to 12th position.

Stunning moment of this season opener was both Ferrari which started from the grid 6 and 7 position failed to deliver, adding to the woes was elimination of Massa in the 45th Lap and Kimi coming last in this season opener. The other Mclaren counterpart had a different fate written for him suffering from accident damage during this first lap.
