One of the great and most unexpected success stories in Formula 1 history, the Brawn GP team won the Drivers’ and Constructors’ Championships in its first and only year in Formula 1 – a unique story that is unlikely to ever again be repeated.

This comprehensive book covers Brawn BGP 001/02, the car driven to the World Championship in 2009 by the popular British Formula 1 star Jenson Button, and details the factors that went into its extraordinary success. Interviews with key members of the team, including team principal Ross Brawn, Brawn team chief executive Nick Fry, and drivers Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello, are accompanied by a wealth of images and official company documentation never before seen in public.

This is a heroic tale of foresight, resilience and fortitude, innovative engineering, great management and a high degree of talent on many levels – all of which are the cornerstones of Formula 1 teamwork and race car design excellence.

This team’s achievement is fully detailed, from beginning to end, in this book, the 18th in the Great Cars series from Porter Press.
