Button wins Monaco GP in Brawn one-two
MONACO (Reuters) - Britain's Jenson Button chalked up his fifth win in six races with team mate Rubens Barrichello following him home for a Brawn GP one-two at the Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday.
The championship leader's sixth career victory, in an untroubled drive from pole position on a sunny afternoon, stretched his lead over Barrichello to 16 points with 11 races remaining. Button has 51, the Brazilian 35.
Finland's Kimi Raikkonen took third place for champions Ferrari in the Italian team's first podium finish since the last race of 2008.
Mercedes-powered Brawn, heirs to departed Honda, have now finished one-two three times this year.
