Jenson Button is the 2009 Formula One World Champion - and you can relive every nail-biting moment of this momentous season in the official DVD review of the 2009 FIA Formula One World Championship™.
It has been an almost unbelievable year for the popular Brit. Over the winter break Honda withdrew from the championship and it was with only weeks to spare that Ross Brawn completed the takeover of the team, which was relaunched as Brawn GP.
No one could have predicted that this new team would arrive at the first race of the year and dominate so completely. Button led the charge for Brawn, securing six wins in the seven opening races, with Brazilian teammate Rubens Barrichello notching up numerous podium and point-scoring finishes to reinforce the extraordinary performance of the team.
After such a dominant opening to the year, Button was tipped to secure the crown, however a tough summer saw his tremendous points advantage under attack, with Barrichello and Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel chipping away at his lead.
It could have all gone down to the very last race of the year, but a stunning drive and more than a little good fortune, ensured Button secured the World Championship in Brazil - becoming the 10th Briton to take the title.
While Button was on the road to victory, the 2008 World Champion, Lewis Hamilton, was enduring a tough year as number one - but, characteristically, he dug deep to produce some stunning performances in a car which couldn't match the front-runners for pace.
