Its no longer fairytale, this is now the norm, Jenson Button eased to a lights to flag win in the biggest and most famous Grand Prix of them all adding his name to a long list of greats to have won at Monaco. Rubens Barrichello made it an even better day for Brawn by jumping Kimi Raikkonen at the start and holding onto 2nd place.
The race itself did not have much action to report although there were a few incidents during the race and in qualifying that had a notable impact on the result, firstly, Lewis Hamilton had displayed excellent pace in free practice showing McLaren's recent improvement, but he threw all that promise away with a schoolboy error at the mirabeau corner demoting him to the back of the grid, as a result, he did have a trouble free and eventless run to 12th. Another possible challenger for the win, Sebastian Vettel ran well early on before crashing out on lap 16.
The Ferrari's showed a big improvement to be the best of the rest as Raikkonen and Massa gave the Maranello men an 11 point haul for 3rd and 4th respectively, Mark Webber, Nico Rosberg, Fernando Alonso and Sebastien Bourdais completed the points scorers.
