In one word... Disappointment.
Rubens Barrichello - 7th
Jenson Button - DNF
Button qualified on pole for the first time of his career at the Grand Prix of Australia, but quickly fell back to 3rd a quarter into the race, fell back even more to 5th at the start of the final lap, then on the final corner, his engine blew up in flames and smoke and his RA106 stopped about 20 feet from crossing the start/finish line.
Honda claims to have decided to sacrifice a few championship instead of taking a 10 grid spot penalty. First of all, I think i would taken the valuable points and worry about the penalty later. Second, this engine change penalty is plain stupid.
Utter disappointment.
