Description

Jenson Button won the 2009 Spanish Grand Prix for Brawn GP from pole position on 10 May 2009. The event, held at the Circuit de Catalunya, was the fifth round of the 2009 Formula One season and concluded with a Brawn GP 1–2 finish.
First-Lap Crash: A multi-car collision triggered an immediate safety car. Jarno Trulli spun off and drifted across the track, collecting Adrian Sutil. Trying to avoid the chaos, Scuderia Toro Rosso teammates Sébastien Buemi and Sébastien Bourdais crashed into each other, retiring all four drivers.
Strategy Controvery: Barrichello looked set to win, but Brawn GP switched Button from a planned 3-stop strategy onto a 2-stop configuration. Coupled with Barrichello struggling with pace on his final tire stint, Button emerged ahead after the final round of pit stops to secure the win.
