Brazillian Grand Prix 2009

Jenson Button sealed the drivers' championship with a sublime recovery drive at a dramatic Brazilian Grand Prix won by Red Bull's Mark Webber.

Brawn's English driver started from 14th but executed a series of spectacular early overtaking moves before finishing the race fifth. He was already set to clinch the crown when a late puncture dropped main title threat Rubens Barrichello to eighth. Brawn still took the constructors' championship in their debut season.

Barrichello, who badly wanted to win on a circuit he was born in the shadow of, was running third before his unlucky puncture smoothed team-mate Button's path to the title he seemed destined for since his explosive start to the season. BMW Sauber's Robert Kubica was second ahead of McLaren's Lewis Hamilton while six drivers retired at Interlagos. Red Bull's German Sebastian Vettel, who started just behind Button, finished fourth while Toro Rosso's Sebastien Buemi was a season-best seventh.

Button's maiden world title overshadowed the grand prix, but the race certainly delivered a fitting scene for a deserved success.
