Brawn GP 2009, Rubens Barachello
Just days before the 2009 season opener in Melbourne, veteran designer Ross Brawn bought Honda and renamed it Brawn GP. Barrichello was rather worried when rumours were going around saying that he would lose his seat to the young Bruno Senna, the nephew of Barrichello's friend, idol and mentor Ayrton Senna, but Ross Brawn decided to choose the more experienced Brazilian, Brawn also confirmed that Jenson Button would remain for 2009. At Barcelona during the last pre-season test, both Barrichello and Button surprised the paddock with very quick lap times; The new cars were more than two seconds faster than any other team. Barrichello took his 10th Grand Prix win and first in 5 years at Valencia to move up to 2nd in the Championship. At Monza, Barrichello won the 11th race in his Formula One career, and gained points on teammate Jenson Button in their fight for the world title. Barrichello finally finished an impressive 3rd in the 2009 championship with 77 points.
