Jenson Button wins Australian Grand Prix

Jenson Button rekindled memories of his title-winning campaign of 2009 with a season-opening victory in today's Australian Grand Prix.

Button, who is from Frome, took the chequered flag that year in Melbourne and went on to claim his maiden crown in glorious fashion.

Three years on and Button was again triumphant in Melbourne for McLaren today, romping to his third success Down Under in the past four years with the 13th win of his Formula One career.

Despite a safety car event two thirds of the way through the 58-lap race, Button was relatively untroubled, finishing 2.2 seconds clear of reigning double world champion Sebastian Vettel, with Lewis Hamilton in third place.
