Jenson Button and his Brawn GP team were crowned Formula One champions with a race to spare in an action packed Brazilian Grand prix on Sunday.
Button finished fifth to become Britians 10th world champion, with closest rival and team mate Rubens Barrichello suffering a late puncture and crossing the line eighth after starting his home race on pole position.
Button, who belted out an off-tune "We Are The Champions, My Friends" over the team radio on his slowing down lap, was ecstatic after a rain-hit qualifying session had left him starting 14th.
"Oh what a race. I am world champion, I am world champion. Its been such an interesting season," he said, embracing his mechanics before a congratulatory from Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone.
"It is really amazing. Today was such an awesome race and I am world champion. I never expected to be world champion in Formula One.
