Jenson Button has won the Australian Grand Prix this morning, with a strong run keeping first all the way through the race. There was an incident involving a few cars at the beginning of the race, all seeming to come from a mistake by second place Brawn GP man Rubens Barrichello; which caused McLaren driver Heikki Kovalainen to retire. Both Ferraris retired later on in the race; Raikonnen due to an incident, and Massa due to mechanical failure.
Overall, this race was very different from the likes seen last year, and it's going to be one exciting season.
