Brawn BGP 001
The Brawn BGP 001 was by Ross Brawn and his team for the 2009 season. The car was produced by the newly-formed Brawn GP team, which emerged from the ashes of the Honda Racing F1 team. Powered by a Mercedes-Benz engine, the car featured a distinctive white and fluorescent yellow livery.
The car proved to be highly successful, winning eight of the season’s seventeen races and taking both the drivers’ and constructors’ championships in the hands of Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello. The BGP 001 is widely regarded as one of the most impressive designs in recent F1 history, thanks to its innovative double-decker diffuser and other technical innovations.
