Description

The 2009 European Grand Prix was won by Rubens Barrichello driving for Brawn GP. The race took place on 23 August 2009 at the Valencia Street Circuit in Spain. It marked Barrichello's first Formula One victory in five years and the 100th Grand Prix win for a Brazilian driver.
Lewis Hamilton started from pole position and led early. A critical McLaren pit-stop blunder on lap 37—where his tyres were not ready—cost him nearly 10 seconds and handed the lead to Barrichello.
Championship Impact: Drivers' Championship leader Jenson Button finished 7th. His lead was narrowed to 18 points over teammate Barrichello, as both Red Bull drivers (Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel) failed to score points.
