’s iconic 2009 championship-winning Brawn GP F1 car will be sold at auction at the Miami Grand 🐎Prix later this yea🌳r.

The 🦂car, which is ownedꦜ by Button and was gifted at the end of his memorable 2009 campaign, has been part of his personal collection.

Bonhams will be responsible for the auctio🔜n in Miami.

Button’s 2009 triumph was a fairyt𝓀ale story, with the team founded by legendary F1 team boss Ross Brawn following Honda’s shoc🍬k decision to withdraw from the sport at the end of 2008.

On a shoestring budget, Brawn GP turned up at the first race with the fastest car and🎃 finished 1-2.

The teamꦬ went on to win the constructors’ championship in their only season in F1 before Mercedes took over.

Button would win the championship🌺 with one race to spare, finishing༒ ahead of Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel in the final standings.

: “This car represents the ultimate Formula 1 fairy tale – a revolutionary design that redefined what was possible.

“Chassis 001/01 is a piece of♍ motorsport history, and its offering at auction is sure to captivate collectors worldwide.

“We are honoured to present this unrepeatable opportunity over the Miami Grand🌟 Prix, a stage befitting its legendary status.”
