Jenson has done it, the widely acclaimed favourite to win here in Australia has taken pole with team mate Barrichello completing the front row.
Brawn GP were simply sensational on their debut, backing up their initial practice and qualifying promise to take a surprise lead in F1.
Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel and BMW Sauber’s Robert Kubica will make up the second role.
World Champion Lewis was left in the dust with a 15th position out of 20 as McLaren continued their dismal form. Lack of drive in the gearbox was blamed for a lack of speed. It looks very likely that he won’t win here tomorrow like he did in his Championship winning season.
Brawn GP pole position is a first for a brand new team since Scotland’s Jackie Stewart for Tyrrell at the Canadian GP in 1970.
And now the team has the backing of Sir Richard Branson’s money to fulfil their promise throughout the season. The team will soon be named Virgin BGP 001.
The top end of the field was two tenths of a second and shows early indication how close the race could be.
Let us hope for a thriller.
