Jenson Button managed to render Ross Brawn speechless following a remarkable Australian Grand Prix victory yesterday, and that speaks volumes about an historic day for the Briton and his phoenix-like team.
Up until a few weeks ago Brawn GP did not exist, but the power and persuasion of their unlikely team owner led to them rising from the ashes after Honda Racing had financially crashed and burned.

"You don't find Ross speechless very often, but during the last 15 minutes I would be surprised if he said a word," revealed Button, after only the second victory of his 154-race career.
The fact teammate Rubens Barrichello joined him on the podium was a feat in itself as the Brazilian was involved in a first-corner melee that led to him damaging his front wing.
"This is not just for me, but the whole team, a fairytale ending to the first race of our career together and I hope we can continue this way," Button added.
"We have worked very hard for this, so thank you very much to the team because it has been a traumatic few months for all of us."
