All Three Brawn BGP 001 Cars Reunite at Goodwood as Jenson Button Returns to Title Winner

The reunion spotlights the enduring appeal of Brawn GP’s one‑season title run born from Ross Brawn’s £1 rescue.

Overview

  • At the Goodwood Members’ Meeting, the three original Brawn BGP 001 chassis came together for the first time as Jenson Button drove his 2009 car.
  • Button made his Members’ Meeting debut in the BGP 001 and said returning to the car felt emotional and surreal.
  • The story’s public pull has grown with a 2023 docuseries hosted by Keanu Reeves that retold Brawn GP’s rapid rise.
  • The team emerged after Honda quit F1 in 2008 and Ross Brawn bought the operation for £1 before selling it to Mercedes in November 2009.
  • In its lone 2009 campaign, Brawn GP took eight wins, 15 podiums and five poles, winning both F1 titles with Button champion and Rubens Barrichello third.
