Description

The 2009 Bahrain Grand Prix (officially the VI Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix) was won by Jenson Button driving for Brawn-Mercedes. Held on 26 April 2009 at the Bahrain International Circuit, it was the fourth round of the 2009 Formula One World Championship.
The Winning Strategy: Jenson Button started fourth but made critical overtakes on Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel during the early stages. He took advantage of a superior race pace and strategy while the lighter-fueled Toyotas completed their first pit stops.
Kimi Räikkönen finished sixth, earning Scuderia Ferrari's very first points of the 2009 season. Nick Heidfeld finished 19th, matching Michael Schumacher's all-time record of 24 consecutive race finishes.
