Formula 1’s ultimate underdog success story. Created in adversity, the Brawn GP team won the Drivers’ and Constructors’ Championships in its first and only year in Formula 1 – a story that is unique and unlikely to ever again be repeated at the highest level of motorsport.

This book is a thorough examination of Brawn BGP 001/02, the car driven to the World Championship in 2009 by the popular British Formula 1 star Jenson Button, and the factors that went into its extraordinary success. The story is supported by interviews with key members of the team, including team principal Ross Brawn, and a wealth of images and official company documentation never before seen in public.

It is a genuinely heroic tale based on foresight, resilience, fortitude, dedication, determination, engineering, innovation, application, great management, a high degree of talent on many levels, and intensive research and development – the very cornerstones of teamwork and race car design excellence.

This team’s achievement is one of the greatest and most unlikely triumphs in modern Formula 1, and it is fully detailed, from beginning to end, in this book, the 18th in the Great Cars series from Porter Press.

  • Comprehensively illustrated with over 300 photos, the majority of which have never been seen before. 
  • Specially commissioned studio photographs of the car today.
  • Interviews with the major players of the Brawn team – mechanics, aerodynamicists and the team principal.
  • Detailed diagrams and official company documentation.
  • Recollections and contributions from Brawn team principal Ross Brawn; team CEO, managing director, and chairman Nick Fry; 2009 World Champion Jenson Button; and 11 Grand Prix-winning racing driver Rubens Barrichello.
  • Detailed race reviews written by the author, covering all 17 races in the 2009 season.
