News - Pictures in the News - April 2009

Classy Button wins abandoned race.
Frome born Jenson Button's perfect start to the season continued as he won the Malaysian Grand Prix after the race was stopped early because of heavy rain. Brawn GP's English driver overcame a bad start off pole and drove superbly to ensure he was leading when a storm meant the race had to be declared over. After an action-packed first race of the season in Australia - which Button also won in convincing fashion - the second race of the season lived up to the expectation that there would be more drama. Yet safety was the prime concern as, following the arrival of the red flag after 31 laps, motorsport's world governing body, the FIA, decided the race could not be restarted as they had run out of allocated time when the lightning and torrential rain has passed. That decision was in theory backed by most drivers, some of whom had called for the race to be suspended over their team radio because of the atrocious conditions even before the safety car came out.

Sensational Susan
Church worker Susan Boyle wowed everyone on Britain's Got Talent with her amazing voice. The frazzle-haired,47-year-old church worker from West Lothian has become a runaway You Tube success since her appearance on Britain's Got Talent on the 11th April 2009. Her performance of I Dreamed a Dream from Les Miserables has generated more than 12 million views on the popular video-sharing website within four days of being placed online. The judges and audience were quickly knocked off their feet when Susan sang the first few lines, her powerful voice soon changed their minds after she gave the impression of a joke when her introductions were being made at the start. Cynical impressions were soon changed.
