First lap crash ends Brawn driver's race but rivals cannot capitalise...

Jenson Button remains the [1.75] favourite to win the F1 Drivers' Championship despite crashing out on the first lap of the Belgian Grand Prix in an incident that also ended Lewis Hamilton's race.

Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen - backed at a high of [15.5] - was first past the chequered flag denying those who had backed eventual second place finisher Giancarlo Fisichella at [530.0]. The Force India driver brought back memories of the good times however, by ending up on the podium in second place, and was backed at a high of [44.0] to do so.

Button's nearest challenger for the title, Rubens Barrichello, could only finish in seventh place and sits 16 points back in the standings. the Brazilian is a [7.4] chance to win the Championship.
