When the Brawn GP rose Phoenix-like from the dying embers of the Honda Formula 1 operation, it caused a sensation. The Brawn cars dominated the first half of the 2009 season, achieving an astounding six wins and three 1-2 finishes in the first seven races. The team humiliated Ferrari and McLaren, winning the Constructors' World Championsip and Jenson Button, written off by many, finished the 2009 season as World Champion. Ross Brawn is the man responsible for these remarkable achievements. Now available in paperback and containing a new chapter about Brawn GP's metamorphosis into Mercedes GP, with Michael Schumacher as its star driver, here is the story of Ross Brawn and his team.

Christopher Hilton, one of Haynes's top-selling and most respected motorsport authors, has written over 30 books, including authoritative biographies of Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher.

A new paperback edition of the best-selling title from Haynes, updated to include the evolution of Brawn GP into the new Mercedes-Benz team and the renewal of the most successful partnership in Formula 1 history between Ross Brawn and seven-times World Champion Michael Schumacher. A portrait of Ross Brawn - from his early days designing the world-beating Jaguar Le Mans cars, to Formula 1 with Benetton, Ferrari and Honda. The Honda story - the Japanese company's involvement in F1 from the 1960s to the end of 2008 and its scrambled exit. The rescue - how Brawn moved to buy the team, Bernie Ecclestone's involvement, the Mercedes engine deal and pre-season testing. The drivers - portraits of Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello, both rejuvenated by a return to the front of the grid. Victory in Australia - the fairytale story of a dominant performance at the season-opening race in Melbourne. The great diffuser drama - with respected engineer Gary Anderson giving a down-to-earth guide as to what one actually is and what it does. The championship challenge - the race-by-race story of the team's fight for the 2009 Formula 1 World Championship.
