It's three wins from four races for the surprise package of the 2009 F1 season.
Jenson Button is a [2.84] shot for the Formula 1 Drivers' Championship following his Bahrain GP victory today.
The win was his third in four races this season.
Starting fourth on the grid, Button overtook a flying Lewis Hamilton to take third spot and eventually overhauled the Toyotas of Sebastien Vettel and Timo Glock to snare the lead. Despite the confident drive, the Englishman was matched at a high of [8.8] to win the race.
Brawn are now trading at [1.87] to win the Constructors' Championship. Red-Bull Renault are their nearest challengers according to Betfair customers at [4.4] to back.
