2009 Formula 1 World Champion Jenson Button has revealed he tried to join Red Bull for 2009, before his Brawn
Button’s future in F1 was uncertain in 2009 after Honda withdrew, but he was saved by Ross Brawn, leading to a remarkable season and his memorable championship win. Keanu Reeves is now telling this story in a documentary airing on Disney+. Button almost didn’t participate in the season due to doubts about the team’s existence, even considering a drive at Red Bull. The technical regulations of 2009 allowed Brawn to gain an advantage with their double-diffuser innovation, resulting in both the Drivers’ and Constructors’ titles. Red Bull then emerged as a strong competitor, dominating the sport for the next four years. Button’s focus shifted back to rescuing the Honda project, leading to the success that attracted Mercedes’ interest, ultimately resulting in their dominance in the hybrid era.
