Brawn GP F1 Car Auctioned at Miami Grand Prix

The 2009 Brawn GP car, chassis 001/01, which played a key role in Jenson Button's championship-winning season, will be auctioned for the first time at the Miami Grand Prix in May. Known for its revolutionary double diffuser design, the car contributed significantly to Brawn GP's dominance in the 2009 Formula 1 season, where the team won both the Drivers' and Constructors' Championships. Originally raced by Rubens Barrichello, chassis 001/01 achieved four podium finishes before being gifted to Button as part of his contract agreement. The team, formed after Honda's exit from F1, became legendary for its underdog success story under Ross Brawn's leadership. Bonhams will handle the auction, and the event is expected to attract significant interest from collectors worldwide. This auction represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of F1 history, showcasing a car that symbolizes one of the sport's most remarkable stories.
