Like the masters of yore
Watching the two white Brawn cars of Button and Barrichello cruising home around the streets of Monaco was like reviewing the grainy monochrome footage of Juan Manuel Fangio and Stirling Moss in 1955, the year the master and his apprentice won five of that season’s six championship rounds and finished first and second in four of them, writes Richard Williams.
