From AFP: VALENCIA, Spain: Drivers world championship leader Briton Jenson Button was upbeat on Monday when he reflected on the positive side of seeing his Brawn GP team-mate veteran Rubens Barrichello winning Sunday's European Grand Prix.
Despite finishing only seventh in a demanding race on the streets of this Mediterranean port city, he managed to increase his championship lead over Red Bull rivals Australian Mark Webber
and German Sebastian Vettel.
Button said: "It ended up as a bit of struggle for me, but I take more positives than negatives from this one - and it is great to see Rubens winning. The team have asked me to push harder now if I want to win the title..."
Barrichello's first win in five years not only lifted him back up to second in the drivers' title race, it also confirmed the two Brawn men as the front runners again after a spell of three races without success - though, as Button said, he would rather have not lost so many points to his partner.
