Honda hails Brawn's Australian win

Honda Motor, which sold its Formula One team after last season due to the global economic slowdown, congratulated new owner Ross Brawn on Monday for a sensational debut win at the Australian Grand Prix.
The Brawn team finished one-two in Melbourne with drivers Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello, becoming the first team to take the top two slots in a Grand Prix debut since 1954.

"We are incredibly delighted that our teammates, with whom we worked until last season, have started from extremely difficult circumstances to earn this victory," Honda said in a statement.

"Congratulations to the Brawn GP Formula One team."

The Japanese automaker pulled out of Formula One in December, and Brawn closed a buy-out deal for the team earlier this month.

Brawn took a maximum 18 constructors' points in Sunday's race and raised hopes of an unexpected title challenge this season.
