A second win of the season for the oldest driver in the field at the Italian Grand Prix sees Rubens Barrichello slash teammate Jenson Button's lead in the championship to 14 points as Brawn record a fourth one-two finish of the season ? the first time the Brazilian has led home. The 37-year-old must now be harbouring hopes of pushing Button all the way for this year's drivers' title, with just four races left of the season. There was heartbreak for world champion Lewis Hamilton as he crashed out with one lap to go as he chased the Brawn duo hard.
