Rubens on the podium at Silverstone

Rubens drove an assured race on Sunday to achieve his second consecutive podium at Silverstone, the team's home Grand Prix. Jenson maintained his lead in the Drivers' Championship with three points for his sixth placed finish.

Rubens said: "I'm really proud of the third place that we achieved at Silverstone. We knew that if the track temperatures didn't increase, then it would be incredibly difficult to beat the Red Bulls. The car has been well balanced and we certainly haven't lost performance since the last race, it's just that we have suffered badly in the cool conditions with our tyre temperatures. To come away with third and the best position that the team could have achieved this weekend is very satisfying."

After the race, Ross commented: "The result was a pleasing outcome to what has been a challenging home race for Brawn GP. Rubens drove a very composed race to secure third place, whilst Jenson recovered well from a poor start when he was caught behind Jarno Trulli to score valuable points for our Championship challenge."
