Australian GP- A Fairy Tale In The Making?

2009 AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIXSATURDAY POST-QUALIFYING PRESS CONFERENCE
Q: Jenson, on pole for the first time since Melbourne in 2006. Everyone was tipping you to be on pole or the front row, I guess it was easy.
Jenson BUTTON: I wish. The last five or six months for both of us have been so tough because of going from not having a drive or any future in racing to putting it on pole here is just amazing, it really is and I have got to give all credit to the team and Ross (Brawn) and Nick (Fry) for making this happen. This is where we deserve to be after the tough times we have had.

After the qualifying round for the Australian GP I can not say I am surprised at the results. I will say that I agree with Eddie Irvine in that this is a fairy story. With Richard Brandson showing interest in the Brawn GP Team for what could possibly be a long run and although I appreciate that Ross Brawn needs the money, it would be a shame if Virgin is to replace the Brawn GP brand name. History has been made for a brand new team and it should last for a longer period.Not everybody had a good day and the only real Big Budget Team that have two cars in the top is Ferrari and they did not have a very good day. 
Kimi and Filepe went farming after what Martin Brundle described as “Giving it big bannana’s”. The new cars (all of them) has to be driven with care it seems and Massa had several big moments during qualifying. The big “Hoo Ha” about KERS could be a factor but as Eddie Irvine said, it is something the Americans played around with in the past and it should not be in F1. I think I agree
