Race Notes

Jensen Button makes an immediate statement for Mclaren.

Button rockets past his PC boy teammate to the 1st corner, overtaking him and then staking his claim to the race as Mclaren posts its flag in the season's 1st race after 2 seasons of Red Bull domination. Button holds off Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel, who recovers from starting P6 on the grid to show he'll be a force with his driving skills.

Vettel's Red Bull teammate Mark Webber claims the 4th spot, while Ferrari's Fernando Alonso turns in the drive of the day, finishing 5th in his under-performing Ferrari despite starting 12th in the field.
