This is where we deserve to be - Button

By on

Despite being fast during winter testing, it was still a big surprise to see Jenson Button take the pole at Albert Park today. Team mate Rubens Barrichello will start from second position on the all Brawn GP front row tomorrow. A deserved reward for the team after the difficulties it has suffered, said Button.

Right after the qualifying session Button said: "The last five or six months for both of us have been so tough because going from not having a drive or any future in racing to putting it on pole here is amazing, it really is.

"I have to give all credit to the team and Ross Brawn and Nick Fry for making it happen. This is where we deserve to be after the tough times we've had."
