2009 FIA Formula One World Championship season

Index: Races by country \| Races by season

The 2009 Formula One season was the 60th FIA Formula One World Championship season. The season took place over 17 rounds, and started with the Template:F1 GP on 29 March 2009. It ended on 1 November 2009 with the inaugural Template:F1 GP.

Jenson Button and Brawn GP secured the driver and constructor titles respectively in the Brazilian Grand Prix, the penultimate race of the season. It was both Button and Brawn's first Championship success, Brawn becoming the first team to win the Constructors Championship in their début season.<ref>Template:Citation/core{{#if:|}}</ref> Button was the tenth British driver to win the championship, and following Lewis Hamilton's success in 2008 it was the first time the Championship had been won by English drivers in consecutive seasons, and the first time since Graham Hill (1968) and Jackie Stewart (1969) that consecutive championships have been won by British drivers.<ref>Template:Citation/core{{#if:|}}</ref>

Ten teams participated in the Championship after several rule changes were implemented by the FIA to cut costs to try and minimise the effect of the global financial crisis. There were further changes to try to improve the on-track spectacle with the return of slick tyres, changes to aerodynamics and the introduction of Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems (KERS) presenting some of the biggest changes in Formula One regulations for several decades.<ref>Template:Citation/core{{#if:|}}</ref>

The Brawn team, formed from the Honda racing team, won six of the first seven races, their ability to make the most of the new regulations being a deciding factor in the Championship, before other teams caught up in an unpredictable second half of the season.<ref>{{#if: Brawn win title in debut F1 year

Background

FIA President Max Mosley announced dramatic rule changes for the 2009 season in a bid to improve the spectacle of the sport as well as implementing cost-cutting measures. These measures were not sufficient to prevent the withdrawal of the Honda team, who announced in December 2008 they would be leaving Formula One with immediate effect.<ref name="Hondaout">{{#if: Global crisis ends Honda F1 dream?

The Drivers' World Championship would be decided in the traditional manner of points scored after Bernie Ecclestone's idea that the driver who won the most races be declared as the champion<ref name="Wins"/> was scrapped following protests from the Formula One Teams Association. The teams were less successful in their attempts to have the French and Canadian Grands Prix kept on the calendar, both being dropped with the season closing at the new Abu Dhabi venue.

The first multi-team testing session took place at Circuit de Catalunya, Barcelona in November 2008, two weeks after the end of previous season.<ref>{{#if: Barcelona test heralds start of 2009 season

On 9 March, testing at Barcelona featured for the first time Brawn GP, a new team formed over the winter after Honda withdrew from the sport. The new team, led by Ross Brawn, made an immediate impact by leading the times early in the day. This was the first test in which all teams used their 2009 cars. BMW Sauber led the times while Brawn GP finished fourth.<ref>{{#if: BMW Sauber lead First day

A major source of controversy throughout the winter season were the rear diffusers. Three teams –Toyota, Williams and Brawn GP –launched their cars with a diffuser that uses the rear crash structure in order to generate additional downforce.<ref>{{#if: Technical analysis: Diffuser debacle by Craig Scarborough

Report

The season was split into two halves, with the newly-formed Brawn GP dominating the first half of the season with successive wins, partially due to the team's double diffuser design, while the latter half saw an improved showing from Red Bull, Ferrari and McLaren as they adapted to the new regulations. Jenson Button was able to capitalise on Brawn's advantage in the early rounds winning six of the first seven races, to give him his first World Championship. Sebastian Vettel and Button's team-mate Rubens Barrichello were his main challengers over the season, winning six races between them to finish in second and third respectively.

Button won the season opening Australian race, with team-mate Rubens Barrichello in second, giving the team a 1–2 on its début. Red Bull's Vettel had been running in second until he collided with BMW Sauber's Robert Kubica. The accident meant the race finished behind the Safety Car, with Toyota's Jarno Trulli eventually classified third despite McLaren Mercedes false protest he had overtaken Lewis Hamilton illegally.<ref>{{#if: Hamilton loses Aussie GP points

The Chinese race also took place in wet conditions, this time Vettel lead team-mate Mark Webber home to the team's first ever win ahead of the two Brawns. A return to dry conditions in the following four races allowed Button to re-assert his authority, winning in Bahrain, Spain, Monaco and Turkey. Button had opened up a 26 point lead on his teammate with Vettel, who crashed out in Monaco and made a mistake while leading in Turkey, a further six points behind.

The British Grand Prix was seen as a turning point, being dominated by Red Bull with Vettel leading home Webber, in dry conditions. Button was not on the podium for the first time this season, finishing sixth. Red Bull also dominated the following German Grand Prix with Webber taking his first pole, and going on to win the race, despite being given a drive through penalty. Ferrari were also showing signs of improvement, Felipe Massa finishing third in what would be his final race of the season. He was hospitalised after being hit on the helmet by a flying spring when he was travelling at 162 mph in qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix.<ref name="Massa">{{#if:

The Template:F1 gp in Valencia and Template:F1 gp provided first wins of the season for Rubens Barrichello and Kimi Räikkönen respectively as Button's title charge was undermined by poor qualifying performances. Brawn briefly returned to form in Italy, with Barrichello leading home the team's fourth 1–2 of the season. With Webber literally crashing out of the title race under the lights in Template:F1 gp, Vettel kept his slim hopes of the Drivers Championship alive with a dominant display in the Template:F1 gp with Toyota's Trulli gaining what would prove to be Toyota's final podium before their withdrawal at the end of the season.

The Drivers and Constructors Championships were both decided at the penultimate race in Brazil. After a poor wet qualifying session for Button, which saw him start from fourteenth, he fought up to fifth during the race gaving him enough points to clinch the title. The race itself was won by Mark Webber, followed by Robert Kubica to give BMW Sauber their best result of their final season (other than Heidfeld's second place in the rain shortened Malaysian Grand Prix) and his only podium result of the season. Lewis Hamilton completed the top three after starting 17th on the grid, moving him and McLaren above Kimi Raikkonen and Ferrari respectively in the Championships.<ref>{{#if: Brilliant Button clinches title

The aerodynamic regulations were radically altered for the 2009 season. The front wings were made lower and wider, while rear wings were much higher and narrower. This made the 2009 cars strikingly different in appearance from those of previous seasons, and several drivers expressed concerns that the larger front wings would trigger more accidents; especially at the start of Grands Prix when the cars are racing close to each other. As well as the changes in the dimensions of the wings, bodywork became much more regulated with many of the additional components seen in previous seasons effectively outlawed (including barge boards, winglets, turning vanes, chimneys, Viking horns and dumbo ears). The diffuser at the rear of the car was moved back and upwards. Many other minor chassis components were also standardised. The aim of the new aerodynamic regulations, as well as the reintroduction of slick tyres, was to decrease reliance on aerodynamic downforce and increase mechanical grip with the aim of making wheel-to-wheel racing easier.
For the first time, cars were allowed to use driver adjustable bodywork, in the form of adjustable flaps in the front wing. The flaps could be adjusted by up to six degrees, limited to only two adjustments per lap.
Along with changes to bodywork and tyre size, the 2006 document also included details of a Kinetic Energy Recovery System. This is a regenerative braking device designed to recover some of the vehicle's kinetic energy, which is normally dissipated as heat during braking. The recovered energy can be stored electrically, in a battery or supercapacitor, or mechanically, in a flywheel, for use as a source of additional accelerative power at the driver's discretion by way of a boost button on the steering wheel. The regulations limit the additional power to around 82 hp (61 kW) for six seconds a lap. The regulations did not make this compulsory, and because of concerns about both limited performance gains and safety implications very few cars opted to use the system; from a peak of eight cars at Bahrain to just four cars (the Ferraris and McLarens) at the last few races. Because of this, and its relative expense, KERS is to be scrapped for 2010.
While it was reported in 2008 that the FIA were planning on introducing a budget cap to limit the amount of spending by Formula One teams,<ref>{{#if: 2009 Budget Cap

Instead, costs were brought down by a complete ban on in-season testing, a forced reduction in wind tunnel usage, the sharing of more data during race weekends, and an increased minimum engine lifespan: the engines had to last for three races, instead of two in 2008. The gearboxes had to last for four races, and a penalty of five places in the starting grid was applied, should a driver change it during the weekend before the start of the race.

Each driver was limited to a maximum of eight engines throughout the season, in addition to four engines for practice/testing purposes (although some drivers used all eight, no driver exceeded this limit; had they done so, they would have received a 10-place grid penalty for each additional engine use). To aid improvements in reliability, the engines were detuned from 19,000 RPM to 18,000 RPM.<ref>{{#if: A beginner's guide to the 2009 rule changes

The rule stating that the pit lane is closed during a Safety Car period was scrapped in 2009. The rule was introduced in 2007 to prevent drivers rushing back to the pits to refuel, possibly speeding through a danger zone, but software was successfully developed to solve this problem.<ref>{{#if: FIA confirms new safety car rules

Race fixing controversy

Main article: Renault Formula One crash controversy

In a scandal dubbed "Crashgate" by the media, allegations of race-fixing during the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix emerged during the second half of the 2009 season from former Renault driver Nelson Piquet, Jr. Over the course of the 2009 Belgian Grand Prix, Piquet, who had been sacked weeks earlier by Renault, claimed he was asked to crash at the Singapore race in a strategy designed to aid teammate and eventual race winner Fernando Alonso. Renault were handed a two-year suspended ban from the sport after the FIA World Motor Sport Council decided the team's managing director, Flavio Briatore and its executive director of engineering, Pat Symonds had asked Piquet to crash. Both had left the team before the WMSC hearing, where they were given life and five-year suspensions respectively. It had been rumoured Renault were prepared to quit the sport at the end of the 2009 season had the team been heavily punished,<ref>Template:Citation/core{{#if:|}}</ref> but the FIA found Briatore and Symonds solely to blame and chose to suspend Renault's ban.<ref>Template:Citation/core{{#if:|}}</ref>

+The '''2009 Formula One season''' was the 60th [[Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile|FIA]] [[Formula One]] World Championship season. The season took place over 17 rounds, and started with the {{F1 GP|2009|Australian}} on 29 March 2009. It ended on 1 November 2009 with the inaugural {{F1 GP|2009|Abu Dhabi}}.
+[[Jenson Button]] and [[Brawn GP]] secured the driver and constructor titles respectively in the [[2009 Brazilian Grand Prix|Brazilian Grand Prix]], the penultimate race of the season. It was both Button and Brawn's first Championship success, Brawn becoming the first team to win the Constructors Championship in their début season.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/8289217.stm |title=BBC SPORT &#124; Motorsport &#124; Formula 1 &#124; Brawn win title in debut F1 year |publisher=BBC News |date=2009-10-18 |accessdate=2009-11-01}}</ref> Button was the tenth British driver to win the championship, and following [[Lewis Hamilton]]'s success in 2008 it was the first time the Championship had been won by English drivers in consecutive seasons, and the first time since [[Graham Hill]] (1968) and [[Jackie Stewart]] (1969) that consecutive championships have been won by British drivers.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12538_5637133,00.html|title=Great Button!|date=2009-10-18 |publisher=Sky Sports|accessdate=2009-10-19}}</ref>
+Ten teams participated in the Championship after [[2009 Formula One season#Rule changes|several rule changes]] were implemented by the FIA to cut costs to try and minimise the effect of the global financial crisis. There were further changes to try to improve the on-track spectacle with the return of slick [[Formula One tyres|tyres]], changes to [[Formula One car#Aerodynamics|aerodynamics]] and the introduction of [[Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems]] (KERS) presenting some of the biggest changes in Formula One regulations for several decades.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.planet-f1.com/story/0,18954,3213_4907252,00.html |title=Newey: Biggest rule changes since 1983 |publisher=planet-F1.com |date=2009-02-09}}</ref>
+The Brawn team, formed from the [[Honda Racing F1|Honda racing team]], won six of the first seven races, their ability to make the most of the new regulations being a deciding factor in the Championship, before other teams caught up in an unpredictable second half of the season.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/8289217.stm|title=Brawn win title in debut F1 year|work=[[BBC Sport]]|publisher=BBC|date=2009-10-28|accessdate=2010-04-01}}</ref> The 2009 season was the first time since {{f1|2005}} that all participating teams had scored World Championship points.
+==Background==
+FIA President [[Max Mosley]] announced dramatic rule changes for the 2009 season in a bid to improve the spectacle of the sport as well as implementing cost-cutting measures. These measures were not sufficient to prevent the withdrawal of the [[Honda F1|Honda]] team, who announced in December 2008 they would be leaving Formula One with immediate effect.<ref name="Hondaout">{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/formula_one/7766092.stm |title=Global crisis ends Honda F1 dream? |work=[[BBC Sport]] |publisher=BBC |accessdate=2008-12-05 | date=2008-12-05}}</ref><ref name="Haymarket Publications">{{cite news |url=http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/72322 |title=Honda confirm immediate F1 pull out |work=Autosport.com |publisher=Haymarket Publications |date=2008-12-05 |accessdate=2008-12-05}}</ref> After a Winter of uncertainty, it was confirmed on 5 March 2009 that the team would compete in the 2009 season as [[Brawn GP]], with Mercedes engines, following a management buy-out, and would retain the services of both [[Jenson Button]] and [[Rubens Barrichello]] as drivers.<ref name="Brawntakeover">{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/7927488.stm |title=Honda team to return as Brawn GP |work=[[BBC Sport]] |publisher=BBC |accessdate=2009-03-06 | date=2009-03-06}}</ref>
+The Drivers' World Championship would be decided in the traditional manner of points scored after [[Bernie Ecclestone]]'s idea that the driver who won the most races be declared as the champion<ref name="Wins"/> was scrapped following protests from the [[Formula One Teams Association]]. The teams were less successful in their attempts to have the French and Canadian Grands Prix kept on the calendar, both being dropped with the season closing at the new Abu Dhabi venue.
+The first multi-team testing session took place at [[Circuit de Catalunya]], Barcelona in November 2008, two weeks after the [[2008 Brazilian Grand Prix|end of previous season]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2008/11/8716.html |title=Barcelona test heralds start of 2009 season |publisher=formula1.com |date=2008-11-17 |accessdate=2008-11-22}}</ref> All teams, except [[Toyota Racing|Toyota]], took part in the testing session where some teams tested their new aerodynamics package and slick tyres.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/72165 |title=Sato goes quickest in Barcelona test |work=Autosport.com |publisher=Haymarket Publications |date=2008-11-17 |accessdate=2008-11-22}}</ref> The new look cars did not suit everyone's taste, with [[BMW in Formula One|BMW Sauber]]'s test driver, [[Christian Klien]], labelling the car the ugliest car he'd ever seen.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/72176 |title=Klien: '09 BMW worst looking car ever |work=Autosport.com |publisher=Haymarket Publications |date=2008-11-18 |accessdate=2008-11-30}}</ref>.
+On 9 March, testing at [[Circuit de Catalunya|Barcelona]] featured for the first time [[Brawn GP]], a new team formed over the winter after Honda withdrew from the sport. The new team, led by [[Ross Brawn]], made an immediate impact by leading the times early in the day. This was the first test in which all teams used their 2009 cars. [[BMW in Formula One|BMW Sauber]] led the times while Brawn GP finished fourth.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.itv-f1.com/news_article.aspx?id=45238 |title=BMW Sauber lead First day |publisher=ITV-F1.com |date=2009-03-09 |accessdate=2009-03-09}}</ref> On day three, Brawn GP's [[Jenson Button]] was fastest by just over one second to [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari's]] [[Felipe Massa]]<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.brawngp.com/pdf/bcn03_05web_3.pdf |format=PDF |title=Button blitzed on day 3 |publisher=Brawn GP |date=2009-12-09 |accessdate=2009-12-09}}</ref> while Button's teammate [[Rubens Barrichello]] went even faster the next day. At the other end of the timing sheets, reigning Champion [[Lewis Hamilton]]'s [[McLaren (racing)|McLaren]] team were struggling to adapt to the new regulations, often 1.5 seconds off the pace.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.formula1.com/news/interviews/2009/3/9017.html |title=Q&A with McLaren's Martin Whitmarsh and Norbert Haug |publisher=formula1.com |date=2009-03-13|archiveurl=http://www.webcitation.org/5hj1vcHkt|archivedate=2009-06-22|deadurl=no|accessdate=2009-05-29}}</ref> Massa stated he had never seen McLaren so far behind.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://uk.reuters.com/article/sportsNews/idUKTRE52C1TT20090313 |publisher=Reuters UK |title=Massa says McLaren never been so far behind |date=2009-03-13}}</ref>
+A major source of controversy throughout the winter season were the rear [[diffuser|diffusers]]. Three teams&nbsp;–Toyota, Williams and Brawn GP&nbsp;–launched their cars with a diffuser that uses the rear crash structure in order to generate additional downforce.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/73083 |title=Technical analysis: Diffuser debacle by Craig Scarborough |work=Autosport.com |publisher=Haymarket Publications|archiveurl=http://www.webcitation.org/5hj1wsM02|archivedate=2009-06-22|deadurl=no|accessdate=2009-05-29}}</ref> These designs were quickly protested, and just days after the cars were unveiled, rival teams asked the FIA for a clarification on the matter.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/73038 |title=Teams to seek diffuser clarification |work=Autosport.com |publisher=Haymarket Publications}}</ref>
+On the Wednesday of the season opening race in Australia, an official complaint was launched by the seven other teams against the rear [[diffuser|diffusers]] of the [[Williams FW31]], [[Toyota TF109]] and the [[Brawn BGP 001]] saying that they were illegal.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.itv-f1.com/news_article.aspx?id=45325 |title=Protests lodged against three teams |publisher=ITV-F1.com |date=2009-03-26}}</ref>. The FIA scrutineers disagreed, declaring the cars legal.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/formula_one/7965056.stm |title= Date set for F1 diffuser appeal |work=[[BBC Sport]] |publisher=BBC |date=2009-03-28 | accessdate=2010-01-01}}</ref> The other six teams filed an appeal which was heard on 14 April 2009&nbsp;– the week prior to round three of the championship, the {{f1 gp|2009|Chinese}}.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2009/3/9075.html |title=FIA sets diffuser appeal date |publisher=formula1.com |date=2009-03-28|archiveurl=http://www.webcitation.org/5hj1y0PyE|archivedate=2009-06-22|deadurl=no|accessdate=2009-05-29}}</ref>

+==Report==
+The season was split into two halves, with the newly-formed [[Brawn GP]] dominating the first half of the season with successive wins, partially due to the team's double diffuser design, while the latter half saw an improved showing from [[Red Bull Racing|Red Bull]], [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]] and [[McLaren-Mercedes|McLaren]] as they adapted to the new regulations. [[Jenson Button]] was able to capitalise on Brawn's advantage in the early rounds winning six of the first seven races, to give him his first World Championship. [[Sebastian Vettel]] and Button's team-mate [[Rubens Barrichello]] were his main challengers over the season, winning six races between them to finish in second and third respectively.
+Button won the season opening [[2009 Australian Grand Prix|Australian]] race, with team-mate [[Rubens Barrichello]] in second, giving the team a 1–2 on its début. [[Red Bull Racing|Red Bull's]] Vettel had been running in second until he collided with [[BMW in Formula One|BMW Sauber]]'s [[Robert Kubica]]. The accident meant the race finished behind the [[Safety Car]], with [[Toyota F1|Toyota's]] [[Jarno Trulli]] eventually classified third despite [[McLaren Mercedes]] false protest he had overtaken [[Lewis Hamilton]] illegally.<ref>{{cite news |url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/7978186.stm |title= Hamilton loses Aussie GP points |date= 2009-04-02 |publisher= ''BBC Sport'' (BBC) |accessdate= 2009-10-23}}</ref> Reigning champion Hamilton was disqualified from the Australian race for lying to the stewards and at the following [[2009 Malaysian Grand Prix|Malaysian Grand Prix]] was the centre of attention, with reports he was on the verge of quitting.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/formula_1/article6037246.ece |title= Lewis Hamilton wanted to quit over Melbourne lies |date= 2009-04-05 |publisher= The Times |accessdate=2009-10-23}}</ref> There was further intrigue away from the race track as the FIA deemed the controversial double diffusers used by Brawn, Williams and Toyota legal.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/7996698.stm |title=Court rules Button's car is legal |work=[[BBC Sport]] |publisher=BBC |date=2009-04-15 |accessdate=2009-04-15}}</ref>. The race was equally dramatic, being stopped because of monsoon-like conditions, meaning only half points were awarded for only the fifth time in F1 history. Button mastered the changing conditions for his second win.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/formula_1/article6039351.ece |title=Jenson Button storms to second hit with victory at Thunder Road |date=2009-04-09 |publisher= The Times |accessdate=2009-10-23}}</ref>. The [[2009 Chinese Grand Prix|Chinese race]] also took place in wet conditions, this time Vettel lead team-mate [[Mark Webber]] home to the team's first ever win ahead of the two Brawns. A return to dry conditions in the following four races allowed Button to re-assert his authority, winning in [[2009 Bahrain Grand Prix|Bahrain]], [[2009 Spanish Grand Prix|Spain]], [[2009 Monaco Grand Prix|Monaco]] and [[2009 Turkish Grand Prix|Turkey]]. Button had opened up a 26 point lead on his teammate with Vettel, who crashed out in Monaco and made a mistake while leading in Turkey, a further six points behind.
+The [[2009 British Grand Prix|British Grand Prix]] was seen as a turning point, being dominated by Red Bull with Vettel leading home Webber, in dry conditions. Button was not on the podium for the first time this season, finishing sixth. Red Bull also dominated the following [[2009 German Grand Prix|German Grand Prix]] with Webber taking his first pole, and going on to win the race, despite being given a [[Formula One regulations#Penalties|drive through penalty]]. Ferrari were also showing signs of improvement, [[Felipe Massa]] finishing third in what would be his final race of the season. He was hospitalised after being hit  on the helmet by a flying spring when he was travelling at 162 mph in qualifying for the [[2009 Hungarian Grand Prix|Hungarian Grand Prix]].<ref name="Massa">{{cite journal |year=2009 |month=July 30, |title=How it happened |journal=[[Autosport]] |volume=197 |issue=5 |page=p. 13 |accessdate=2009-08-05}}</ref> The accident overshadowed the race which was won by Lewis Hamilton. Ferrari announced Massa would be replaced by test driver [[Luca Badoer]], after a proposed comeback by seven time World Champion [[Michael Schumacher]] was called off due to a neck injury.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/8186319.stm |title= Schumacher calls off F1 comeback |date= 2009-08-11 |publisher= ''BBC Sport'' (BBC) |accessdate= 2009-10-19}}</ref> [[Giancarlo Fisichella]] in-turn replaced the disappointing Badoer after a remarkable second place at Spa for [[Force India]].
+The {{f1 gp|2009|European}} in Valencia and {{f1 gp|2009|Belgian}} provided first wins of the season for [[Rubens Barrichello]]  and [[Kimi Räikkönen]] respectively as Button's title charge was undermined by poor qualifying performances. Brawn briefly returned to form in [[2009 Italian Grand Prix|Italy]], with Barrichello leading home the team's fourth 1–2 of the season. With Webber literally crashing out of the title race under the lights in {{f1 gp|2009|Singapore}}, Vettel kept his slim hopes of the Drivers Championship alive with a dominant display in the {{f1 gp|2009|Japanese}} with Toyota's Trulli gaining what would prove to be Toyota's final podium before their withdrawal at the end of the season.
+The [[List of Formula One World Drivers' Champions|Drivers]] and [[List of Formula One World Constructors' Champions|Constructors Championship]]s were both decided at the penultimate race in [[2009 Brazilian Grand Prix|Brazil]]. After a poor wet qualifying session for Button, which saw him start from fourteenth, he fought up to fifth during the race gaving him enough points to clinch the title. The race itself was won by Mark Webber, followed by Robert Kubica to give BMW Sauber their best result of their final season (other than Heidfeld's second place in the rain shortened Malaysian Grand Prix) and his only podium result of the season. Lewis Hamilton completed the top three after starting 17th on the grid, moving him and McLaren above Kimi Raikkonen and Ferrari respectively in the Championships.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/8313300.stm |title=Brilliant Button clinches title |date= 18 October 2009 |publisher= (''BBC Sport'') BBC |accessdate= 19 October 2009}}</ref>. The inaugural [[2009 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix|Abu Dhabi Grand Prix]], taking place at sunset, rounded out the season, with another win for Vettel and Red Bull's fourth 1–2 result of the year, rounding of their strongest season to date.

+==Rule changes==
+On 22 December 2006, the FIA released technical regulations for the 2009 season.<ref>{{cite web |title=FIA Formula One 2009 Technical Regulations |url=http://argent.fia.com/web/fia-public.nsf/90D889BE20961303C1257483004B8AC0/$FILE/1-2009%20F1%20TECHNICAL%20REGULATIONS%2011-07-2008.pdf |publisher=FIA |date=2008-07-11}}</ref> These have been revised several times to accommodate the findings of the Overtaking Working Group (formed in response to concerns that passing in wheel-to-wheel racing was becoming increasingly rare)<ref>{{cite news |title=Top teams pass notes to improve overtaking |url=http://www.formula1.com/news/features/2008/10/8472.html |publisher=formula1.com |date=2008-10-03}}</ref> and the increasing need for cost-cutting in the sport in the wake of the economic crisis.<ref>{{cite news |title=FIA confirms cost-cutting plans |url=http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2008/12/8773.html |publisher=formula1.com |date=2008-12-12}}</ref> Some changes were added later.
+* [[Slick tyre]]s returned for the first time since they were banned for the [[1998 Formula One season|1998 season]]. [[Bridgestone]] continued to be the sole supplier of tyres, and drivers still had to use both compounds of tyre during a race.<ref>{{cite news |title=Bridgestone eyeing slick warm-up cure |url=http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/66122 |work=Autosport.com |publisher=Haymarket Publications |date=2008-03-27 |accessdate=2008-03-27}}</ref> Soft tyres were differentiated by a green marking around the sides of the tyres, rather than a white marking in a groove as used in [[2008 Formula One season|2008]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Bridgestone to use green markings |url=http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/73443 |work=Autosport.com |publisher=Haymarket Publications |date=2009-02-26 |accessdate=2009-02-26}}</ref> Further, wet tyres were renamed "intermediate" and extreme-weather tyres were renamed "wet".<ref name="FIAWMSC">{{cite web |title=World Motor Sport Council – Decisions |url=http://www.fia.com/en-GB/mediacentre/pressreleases/wmsc/2009/Pages/wmsc_170309.aspx |publisher=FIA |date=2009-03-17 |accessdate=2009-03-17|archiveurl=http://www.webcitation.org/query?id=1245687492608280|archivedate=2009-06-22|deadurl=no}}</ref>
+* The [http://www.racecar-engineering.com/allarticles/282068/f1-news-updated-the-shape-of-things-to-come.html aerodynamic regulations] were radically altered for the 2009 season. The front wings were made lower and wider, while rear wings were much higher and narrower. This made the 2009 cars strikingly different in appearance from those of previous seasons, and several drivers expressed concerns that the larger front wings would trigger more accidents; especially at the start of Grands Prix when the cars are racing close to each other. As well as the changes in the dimensions of the wings, bodywork became much more regulated with many of the additional components seen in previous seasons effectively outlawed (including barge boards, winglets, turning vanes, chimneys, Viking horns and dumbo ears). The diffuser at the rear of the car was moved back and upwards. Many other minor chassis components were also standardised. The aim of the new aerodynamic regulations, as well as the reintroduction of slick tyres, was to decrease reliance on aerodynamic downforce and increase mechanical grip with the aim of making wheel-to-wheel racing easier.
+* For the first time, cars were allowed to use [http://www.racecar-engineering.com/news/people/281539/first-sight-f1-2009-front-wing.html driver adjustable bodywork], in the form of adjustable flaps in the front wing. The flaps could be adjusted by up to six degrees, limited to only two adjustments per lap.
+* Along with changes to bodywork and tyre size, the 2006 document also included details of a [[Kinetic Energy Recovery System]]. This is a [[regenerative brake|regenerative braking]] device designed to recover some of the vehicle's kinetic energy, which is normally dissipated as heat during braking. The recovered energy can be stored electrically, in a battery or supercapacitor, or mechanically, in a [[flywheel]], for use as a source of additional accelerative power at the driver's discretion by way of a ''boost button'' on the steering wheel. The regulations limit the additional power to around 82 hp (61 kW) for six seconds a lap. The regulations did not make this compulsory, and because of concerns about both limited performance gains and safety implications very few cars opted to use the system; from a peak of eight cars at Bahrain to just four cars (the Ferraris and McLarens) at the last few races. Because of this, and its relative expense, KERS is to be scrapped for [[2010 Formula One season|2010]].
+* While it was reported in 2008 that the FIA were planning on introducing a budget cap to limit the amount of spending by Formula One teams,<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.itv-f1.com/News_Article.aspx?id=41635 |title=2009 Budget Cap |publisher=ITV-F1.com |date=2008-01-19 |accessdate=2008-01-19}}</ref> the amount was not agreed upon and the budget cap idea was dropped. Instead, costs were brought down by a complete ban on in-season testing, a forced reduction in wind tunnel usage, the sharing of more data during race weekends, and an increased minimum engine lifespan: the engines had to last for three races, instead of two in 2008. The gearboxes had to last for four races, and a penalty of five places in the starting grid was applied, should a driver change it during the weekend before the start of the race.
+* Each driver was limited to a maximum of eight engines throughout the season, in addition to four engines for practice/testing purposes (although some drivers used all eight, no driver exceeded this limit; had they done so, they would have received a 10-place grid penalty for each additional engine use). To aid improvements in reliability, the engines were detuned from 19,000&nbsp;RPM to 18,000&nbsp;RPM.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.formula1.com/news/features/2008/11/8741.html |title=A beginner's guide to the 2009 rule changes |publisher=formula1.com |date=2008-11-27}}</ref>
+* The rule stating that the pit lane is closed during a Safety Car period was scrapped in 2009. The rule was introduced in 2007 to prevent drivers rushing back to the pits to refuel, possibly speeding through a danger zone, but software was successfully developed to solve this problem.<ref>{{cite news |title=FIA confirms new safety car rules |url=http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/73020 |work=Autosport.com |publisher=Haymarket Publications |date=2009-01-27 |accessdate=2009-01-27}}</ref> The pit lane speed limit was also increased from 50&nbsp;mph to 62&nbsp;mph (100&nbsp;kmh).
+* The FIA initially declared that the driver with the most wins at the end of the season would be the winner of the 2009 Formula One World Championship, but dropped the decision because of opposition from teams and drivers.<ref>{{cite news |title=F1 delays controversial new rule changes |url=http://edition.cnn.com/2009/SPORT/03/20/hamilton.rules/index.html |publisher=cnn.com |date=2009-03-20 |accessdate=2009-03-20}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/73875 |title=FIA confirms points system unchanged |last=Noble |first=Jonathan |date=2009-03-24 |work=Autosport.com |publisher=Haymarket Publications |accessdate=2009-03-24}}</ref> [[Formula One Teams Association]] argued that [[Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile|FIA]] could not change the rules this close to the season's start without the full agreement of the teams.<ref name="Wins">{{cite news |url=http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/73744 |title=Wins to decide world champion in 2009 |last=Elizalde |first=Pablo |date=2009-03-17 |work=Autosport.com |publisher=Haymarket Publications |accessdate=2009-03-17}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.itv-f1.com/news_article.aspx?id=45299 |title=FOTA say point change is invalid |publisher=ITV-F1.com |date=2009-03-20 |accessdate=2009-03-20 }}</ref> Other proposals rejected by FIA were the introduction of a new points system with the scale 12–9–7–5–4–3–2–1 and to award medals for first, second and third place.<ref name="FIAWMSC" />

+==Race fixing controversy==
+{{Main|Renault Formula One crash controversy}}
+In a scandal dubbed "[[Renault Formula One crash controversy|Crashgate]]" by the media, allegations of race-fixing during the [[2008 Singapore Grand Prix]] emerged during the second half of the 2009 season from former Renault driver [[Nelson Piquet, Jr.]] Over the course of the [[2009 Belgian Grand Prix]], Piquet, who had been sacked weeks earlier by Renault, claimed he was asked to crash at the Singapore race in a strategy designed to aid teammate and eventual race winner [[Fernando Alonso]]. Renault were handed a two-year suspended ban from the sport after the [[FIA World Motor Sport Council]] decided the team's managing director, [[Flavio Briatore]] and its executive director of engineering, [[Pat Symonds]] had asked Piquet to crash. Both had left the team before the WMSC hearing, where they were given life and five-year suspensions respectively. It had been rumoured Renault were prepared to quit the sport at the end of the 2009 season had the team been heavily punished,<ref>{{cite web|title=autosport.com – F1 News: F1 awaits Renault's race-fixing verdict,<!-- BOT GENERATED TITLE -->|url=http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/78764|work=|archiveurl=http://www.webcitation.org/5k5bpyw72|archivedate=2009-09-26|deadurl=no|accessdate=2009-09-24}}</ref> but the FIA found Briatore and Symonds solely to blame and chose to suspend Renault's ban.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/78770 |title=autosport.com |publisher=autosport.com |date= |accessdate=2009-11-01}}</ref>
