About the Book

In December 2008, Honda suddenly announced they were withdrawing from Grand Prix racing. The team faced oblivion, but their master on-track strategist, Ross Brawn, used all his tactical skills to put together a management buy-out - and Honda became Brawn. The team worked feverishly to fit Mercedes engines into the car and, with very little time to test it, took it to the season's opener in Australia - and Jenson Button, their driver who'd waited a decade for a real chance, won like a champion. Button won five of the next six races, too, and he and Brawn bestrode Formula 1 in a way never seen before. This is the full story of Brawn - the man, his team and their season.

Table of Contents:
For the first time, a complete portrait of Ross Brawn - fisherman, chess player, giant of Formula 1 - through the eyes of those who worked with him throughout his career, including an astonishing interlude designing one of the greatest sportscars for Jaguar. Critical evaluations of drivers Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello, explaining how after their long waits they were able to win. The full story of the death and resurrection of the team. The 2009 season recreated in detail, through every qualifying session and race with the drivers' and team's penetrating insights as it all happened. Full statistics, including the Honda years. A superb selection of photographs capturing the moods and triumphs of the team and the drivers as they truly turned Formula 1 upside-down all across 2009.
