A fairytale, should not, could not happen, but against all the odds they did it under the most strenuous of circumstances. I don’t think any genuine F1 fan could feel anything but genuine delight that Jenson Button became world champion and Ross Brawn won the drivers and constructors championships in his own car, not somebody else’s.A great season with drama and excitement which is slightly missing these days in F1

Jenson: to Ross “how was it for you, from the outside” Ross his thoughts: shit man we need those engines back

[@kiasax2]

Jenson Button was my favorite driver for some time before Brawn GP ever existed. My reason for liking a British driver who did not win a Grand Prix until 2006? It's actually very simple, his style of driving, being light on the car, not flicking it around and wringing its neck, like some drivers do, was the way I was taught to drive a racing car way back at Jim Russell Racing Driver School, in the mid-1970s. Smooth was our goal. Take as little from the car as you can, preserve it, and the tires, as much as possible. In a few words, "drive like Jim Clark", was our true goal, though of course, no one can drive like Jim Clark drove. In a little Formula Ford, with a 1.6-liter engine, you have nearly no power and therefore, you need to learn to conserve speed and carry it through corners as much as you can. That is the way Jenson Button raced, I did have a very good understanding of driving that way and I appreciated his style. He was, well, gentle with a car, especially compared to so many of his opponents. Another thing I appreciated about JB was his manners. JB was, and is, well mannered, but with a great sense of humour. One need only read one of his books and discover that sense of humour quickly. In particular, read "How To Be An F1 Driver" and you'll get a laugh for certain. His "tongue and cheeky" style of writing suits me to a T. My wife likes it so much that she's asked me to read it to her. We've been having a lot of trouble finding the right book for me to read to her, but thanks to JB, we've got it covered now. Oh and yes, she can read herself, she just likes hearing my voice, LOL! Also, I've read the other two books Jenson has written and they're excellent too and I heartily recommend them to any and all F1 fans and even those who aren't F1 fans but would like to read about a person who has set their goals high and worked hard to achieve them. Considering the number of people who dream of getting into F1 as drivers, there are damned few who actually achieve that lofty goal. Just getting a seat in an F1 car is hard enough, but to become the F1 World Champion is other worldly. This was a very nice video to watch, seeing JB in that car and then watching the emotions pour out of him and Ross Brawn together. They made quite the team and it was quite nice to see them together for this little jaunt around Silverstone. Many thanks to Sky Sports F1 for putting this up on youtube for us all to enjoy! Cheers!

[@chrisblackshaw9211]

Totally agree! You'll be interested to hear I also went through the Jim Russell racing school in 1975 at Mallory Park so were you there? It also taught me how to drive smoothly, keep momentum up and not scrub off speed with jerky inputs to the steering or brakes. I still enjoy the occasional track day today and love showing supposedly faster cars the way round!

[@kiasax2]

@Chris Blackshaw How has KZbin not notified me of your comment a year ago? I am frightfully sorry, Chris! No, I was not at the Jim Russell school. I went to Jim Russell at what was known then as Sears Point. What a coincidence, though. I think you will agree with me that Jim Russell Racing Drivers School provided excellent training for anyone looking to go racing. Unfortunately, in my case, the Racing I did amounted to a partial season Racing Formula Fords and a partial season Racing sports cars. A few years after this, I was fairly well off due to Internet stocks with the company I worked for, so I found a Formula Ford Racing league, but just as I found a great car, the Internet stock bubble burst. Dammit! The good news is that I had not bought the car yet, so I was saved by checking my email just moments away from signing on the dotted line. So, Chris, do you race today?

Brawn GP lives on through Mercedes, they wouldn't be as dominate if it wasn't for that purchase

[@canicetang8837]

That 2009 season was very interesting. Brawn GP almost didn't even made it to the grid because they had to secure an engine after Honda pulled out. For sure, had Honda stayed, the car wouldn't be right. Mercedes engine gave them the edge despite the last minute change to the rear package of the car. Also they ditched the KERS system which might not be all that advantageous with the extra weight. It was a good call. Or course, the double diffuser was their key to their success. Brawn got it right but somehow Williams and Toyota did not with a similar concept. Budget was a concern and the team had to layoff more than a third of their staff, plus Ross with limited funds meant not a lot of upgrades. Hence there were only 3 cars being made. 1 car for the entire year for Jenson, 1 for Rubens and 1 spare. Meanwhile, the other teams caught up in the mid-season and beyond. But the early dominance by Brawn meant that Jenson just held on from Seb's late charge to win in Brazil. Mercedes bought Brawn outright rather than trying to do the same with Mclaren. However, they know that Ron Dennis will veto anyhow. They thought by bringing in Michael on for the second comeback and Nico with the all German team. This would be a cakewalk. Not so. They didn't put enough into developing this winning car and the new Silver Arrows were actually struggling so much that Daimler's own shareholders were talking about selling the team in 2012. It wasn't until Toto Wolff and Niki Lauda bought into the team. Totally restructure the management and getting the right people on board in 2013. Including Aldo Costa on the engine side from Ferrari and Lewis Hamilton in the transition phase, along with other important personnel to tackle the brand new Hybrid Era F1 Formula of 2014 early. Only then the dominance started. Same as Ferrari, this actually took 4 long years to succeed.

[@cjunsen667]

@@canicetang8837 Thank you for the rundown. For me, the allure of Brawn GP is the fairytale behind it, a script worthy of a movie. It was all about the will and faith of a few people and the resilience of what's left of Honda. Brawn's success was more than just its double diffuser. It was as much about its innovation in front wing design as the entire package. More often than not, we hear more about the failures than the successes. That's what sport is. The success tastes so much sweeter when the struggle to get there was harder. That's what Brawn GP is to many- An allegory to never give up.

Lol what they can do. Ferrari and Mercedes doesn't want to remove the MGU-K, let alone going back to V8

[@DrSabot-A]

Why go back to pure V8 NA anyways? The hybrid motors literally produce more power than the previous cars at will, and are marginally faster and more reliable. If they are to return to V8s, they'll most probably keep the hybrid motors too

[@vrs9486]

@@DrSabot-A But they aren't way faster, this car is from 2009, not from 1999, it's still a pretty fast car, so that doesn't seem like a reasonable reason to not go back to the NA V8s.

[@Thecpurvis]

Goosebumps. I can’t describe how much happiness this video gives me. My favourite ever car, from my favourite ever season, driven by my favourite ever driver. I remember each and every race from that special season as if it were yesterday.

[@tenoutoftenclubarchive114]

This shows why Jenson is such a gentleman and a terrific driver, his inputs on the steering wheel were so precise, no adjustments, just puts the wheel exactly where it needs to be, incredible car, incredible driver, if anyone else was on the car that year they wouldn't have won the championship, perfect union.

[@jiminycrint]

Jenson should have been a multiple world champion. He was so on it, and so highly rated, in 2004, but then he had those ‘lost years’, apart from that first win in 2006. He wasn’t always the quickest in qualifying, but neither was Lauda or Prost, but he rarely threw it at the scenery, and had a unique smooth style in an era of many different driver styles. A great period. Fond memories...

[@filiplevacic6371]

Actually Jenson always said that his hero was Prost... Because of that he has very smooth driving style through all career

[@Greatblue56]

jiminycrint watching him at different tracks was amazing. He was super creative with his lines, putting the car in different spots from lap to lap on Friday and Saturday. It was incredible to watch him trackside. My favorite was Canada in 2011. He was in last place twice and still won. He was driving in another world. That is a race weekend I will never forget.

[@Greatblue56]

Sundar Srinivas Harish Wut???? You do realize he won in Canada 2011? He was last twice due to a puncture and a stop and go penalty. When he left the pits after the penalty stop, he went into the Senna curve and lit up the rears. You could feel his anger and frustration in that moment. He then proceeded to drive through the field, AGAIN. And won the race on the last lap. If you consider how he pulled that off with a massive rain delay, 5 stops, changing conditions, etc just not sure how you can say that was one of his worst races. No other driver could have pulled that off on that day.

[@stuartlongley2446]

For me his best win was Spa 2012. He was on a different level to everyone that weekend. But it's sadly forgotten because of the massive Grosjean/Alonso/Hamilton crash at the start

[@nemoschmitz2374]

@@SundarSrinivasHarish Yes, I get what you're saying. Maybe it wasn't his worst race, because he did after all still fight through to win, but it was not his best drive Similar to how the most exiting races are usually those when the fastest guys make mistakes which only allow others to close up in the first place. Hamiltons's/Vettel's most perfect drives were such races which for the viewers were boring af because they just drove into the distance leaving the others compete for p2

[@123manny321]

In over 30 years, that is my favourite car from my favourite season. Simply because it was just the ultimate fairytale F1 season!

Great to see Jenson back behind the wheel of His F1 car. One of the Greatest Drivers ever in F1 in my book.

I wish i was watching F1 back in this golden era it’s a shame I missed out on all the legendary races

[@markotik2]

Banshee2X I loved it back then. Tbh, this was the last truly great season. Personally from 1996 - 2006 was the best decade. I work for (at least I did work for before this damn pandemic furloughed me) an airline as a flight attendant so got flights so cheap it was laughable - only had to pay 10% of the cost of a ticket if booking in advance - otherwise, if there were empty seats, we only had to pay a single £/$/€ to travel - Im not sure why they had to actually charge a pound - red tape BS... but yeah, it meant I could travel to any Grand Prix I wanted if I wasn’t working. One season I managed to squeeze in all 8 European tracks and Suzuka- didn’t go to Monaco though - couldn’t even afford a beer never mind staying in a hotel lol. Those were really good times !! But now with flights grounded indefinitely and with airlines going to end up being hit the hardest right now, I‘ve started doing online classes in case I need to change careers completely. H

[@lapos1979]

@@leroi804 is right, Brawn were an independent team that rose from the ashes of Honda on a shoestring budget, had no sponsorship and went on to win the title,. it will never happen again and will surely make a great Hollywood film one day. Mercedes are a global powerhouse, they may have spawned from Brawn, but the similarities end there,

[@brent07]

Very emotional for me, seeing Button to be a formula 1 champion since he is is BAR Honda, then Honda EarthDreams then Brawn GP. Made me tear a bit. The glory days of Jenson and Ross. All good things really must come to an end.
