  In December 2008, Honda suddenly announced they were withdrawing from Grand Prix racing. The team faced oblivion, but their master on-track strategist, Ross Brawn, used all his tactical skills to put together a management buy-out - and Honda became Brawn. The team worked feverishly to fit Mercedes engines into the car and, with very little time to test it, took it to the season's opener in Australia - and Jenson Button, their driver who'd waited a decade for a real chance, won like a champion. Button won five of the next six races, too, and he and Brawn bestrode Formula 1 in a way never seen before. This is the full story of Brawn - the man, his team and their season.

  When the Brawn GP rose Phoenix-like from the dying embers of the Honda Formula 1 operation, it caused a sensation. The Brawn cars dominated the first half of the 2009 season, achieving an astounding six wins and three 1-2 finishes in the first seven races. The team humiliated Ferrari and McLaren, winning the Constructors' World Championsip and Jenson Button, written off by many, finished the 2009 season as World Champion. Ross Brawn is the man responsible for these remarkable achievements. Now available in paperback and containing a new chapter about Brawn GP's metamorphosis into Mercedes GP, with Michael Schumacher as its star driver, here is the story of Ross Brawn and his team.
