March 30, 2010

The second race of the 2010 F1 motor racing season, the Australian Grand Prix took place last Sunday, March 28, 2010, and with it another name is added to the FIA Formula One World Championship history books. That name is Jenson Button, one already on many pages of the F1 history books, including last year’s world title, driving for Brawn GP.

Fernando Alonso still holds the top position on the overall standings, though, the two-time world champ coming in first place in the first race of the 2010 F1 season, the Bahrain Grand Prix two weeks ago, on March 14, and coming in fourth in this second race of the 2010 season.

So after 2 races, the F1 standings for the 2010 season by driver are:

1. Fernando Alonso of Spain driving for Ferrari (37 pts)

2. Felipe Massa of Brazil driving for Ferrari (33 pts.)
