A Fiery Finish to the Melbourne Formula 1 Grand Prix

The engine in Jenson Button’s Honda exploded into flames just metres short of the finish line in today’s Melbourne Formule 1 Grand Prix.

The race was no kinder to Australia’s Mark Webber who was leading the race on lap 23 when a gear box failure forced him to withdraw.

The race was ultimately won by Fernando Alonso in a Renault.
