Monza 2009 PodiumRubens Barrichello won the Italian Grand Prix for the third time in his career and gave his title hopes a boost in the process, as his team-mate Jenson Button followed him home in a Brawn GP one-two. Kimi Raikkonen snatched a surprise podium - just ahead of Adrian Sutil - as Lewis Hamilton spun out of third place on the final lap.
Hamilton was unable to make his two-stop strategy work, despite charging away from the field from pole in the opening stint, but was on course for third ahead of Raikkonen and qualifying hero Sutil until his eleventh hour crash at the first Lesmo, which caused the race to finish behind the safety car.
