Monte Carlo, Monaco (My Sportsbook) - Jenson Button put on a dominating performance to win Sunday's prestigious Monaco Grand Prix and claim his fifth victory in the first six Formula One races this season. Button, who started on the pole, relinquished the lead only when he pitted twice during the 78-lap event. He crossed the finish line 7.666 seconds ahead of his teammate, Rubens Barrichello, to give Brawn GP another one-two finish this year. Ferrari improved much, with Kimi Raikkonen finishing third and Felipe Massa coming in fourth. Mark Webber from Red Bull Racing completed the top-five. Button became the first Briton to win the Monaco GP from the pole since Jackie Stewart did it in 1973.
