2009: "I'm World Champion, Baby!"
#OnThisDay 18 October, Jenson Button fulfilled his boyhood dream of winning the World Championship after a spirited drive through the field from 14th to fifth at the 2009 Brazilian Grand Prix. Wet qualifying saw Button line up well down the grid while his Brawn team-mate and title rival Rubens Barrichello started from pole. But Barrichello's challenge fizzled out with a puncture, meaning that Button's title was secure. "I'm world champion, baby." he screamed after the race. "That race deserved it. Twenty-one years ago I jumped into a kart and I loved winning - but I never expected to be world champion." Brawn also took the Constructors' title ahead of Red Bull, to become the only team in F1 history to win the championship in its first (and only) year of competition.
The 71-lap race was won by the Red Bull of Mark Webber, his second win of the season and of his career. Webber crossed the finish line 7.6 seconds ahead of Robert Kubica, who finished second in a BMW Sauber. Lewis Hamilton rounded out the podium in third, driving for McLaren.

The news is out. Brawn is back, 17 years later. The 2009 World Champion Jenson Button will be taking his BGP001 for a spin around Goodwood Motor Circuit for an exhilarating demo at the 2026 Members' Meeting presented by Audrain Motorsport.

Congratulations @LandoNorris!
What a season, what a finale. You’ve fought for this every step of the way and delivered when it mattered most. World Champion, incredible 🏆🧡
Imagine if F1 teams designed their race liveries to match their drivers’ helmets.

On this day in 2009, we achieved what many said was impossible. Against all odds, Brawn GP became both World Constructors’ and Drivers’ Champions. 🏆🏆 A moment that defined belief, teamwork, and pure determination. #OnThisDay #F1 #BrawnGP

🚨 A potential NEW F1 TEAM is being evaluated
Christian Horner is reportedly exploring the project with investors. Early discussions have already taken place, though it remains at an initial stage.
If approved, it would join alongside Audi replacing Kick Sauber and Cadillac’s entry — bringing the grid up to 24 cars.
F1 last had 12 teams on the grid in 2012.
