Description

The 2009 Formula 1 season was defined by the fairytale success of Brawn GP, which rose from the ashes of Honda to take a shock double world championship success. But with a lack of development the car struggled to keep up as the season went on. Giorgio Piola and Jake Boxall-Legge take a look at the RB5, and explain why it was a better car than the Brawn BGP 001, even if it didn't manage to beat it to the title
