Barrichello smarting after Button win?
Brawn GP's impressive start to the Formula One campaign has continued with a one-two finish in Barcelona, but trouble may be brewing in paradise.Jenson Button started from pole, ultimately winning his fourth race of the season 11/20 favourite with Sportingbet for the Drivers' Championship.Team-mate Rubens Barrichello finished second, but had taken the lead at the first corner after a brilliant start saw him move up from third place on the grid.It looked as though the Brazilian could be heading to his own first victory of the year, but a change of strategy for Button saw him pit one less time and Barrichello was unable to put enough distance between himself and the Briton to hang on to the lead.And team boss Ross Brawn was left denying implications that Button is being preferred after Barrichello told Speed TV that he would quit at any sign of team orders."If I get the slightest sniff of the fact that they have favoured Jenson, I will hang up my helmet tomorrow," he said, but added that he does not believe that to be the case.Barrichello is 11/1 third favourite for the title with Paddy Power.
