El Campeonato Mundial de Fórmula Uno de la FIA de 2009 fue la 63ª temporada de las carreras de coches de Fórmula Uno de la FIA . Contó con el 60º Campeonato del Mundo de Fórmula Uno que se disputó en 17 eventos que comenzaron con el Gran Premio de Australia el 29 de marzo y terminaron con el Gran Premio inaugural de Abu Dhabi el 1 de noviembre.
Jenson Button y Brawn GP aseguraron los títulos de Pilotos y Constructores respectivamente en el Gran Premio de Brasil , la penúltima carrera de la temporada. Fue el primer éxito de Button y Brawn en el Campeonato, convirtiéndose Brawn en el primer equipo en ganar el Campeonato de Constructores en su temporada de debut. [1] Button fue el décimo piloto británico en ganar el campeonato y, tras el éxito de Lewis Hamilton en 2008, fue la primera vez que pilotos ingleses ganaban el campeonato en temporadas consecutivas, y la primera desde Graham Hill (1968). y Jackie Stewart (1969) que los pilotos británicos han ganado campeonatos consecutivos. [2] También fue notable el éxito de Red Bull Racing , así como el bajo rendimiento de McLaren y Ferrari en comparación con la temporada anterior.
Diez equipos participaron en el Campeonato después de que la FIA implementara varios cambios en las reglas para reducir costos y tratar de minimizar las dificultades financieras. Hubo más cambios para tratar de mejorar el espectáculo en la pista con el regreso de neumáticos lisos , cambios en la aerodinámica y la introducción de los sistemas de recuperación de energía cinética (KERS) que presentan algunos de los cambios más importantes en las regulaciones de Fórmula Uno durante varias décadas. [3]
El equipo Brawn, formado como resultado de una compra por parte de la gerencia del equipo Honda , ganó seis de las primeras siete carreras, siendo su capacidad para aprovechar al máximo las nuevas regulaciones un factor decisivo en el Campeonato. El equipo Red Bull se vio envuelto en una impredecible segunda mitad de la temporada, [1] siendo la temporada la primera desde 2005 que todos los equipos participantes habían anotado puntos en el Campeonato del Mundo. Sebastian Vettel y el compañero de equipo de Button, Rubens Barrichello, fueron sus principales rivales durante la temporada, ganando seis carreras entre ellos para terminar en segundo y tercer lugar respectivamente.

Cambios de equipo
Honda se retiró antes de la temporada 2009, y el equipo fue comprado por Ross Brawn, director del equipo liderado por un consorcio . Brawn cambió el nombre del equipo a Brawn GP y corrió con motores Mercedes , pero retuvo a los pilotos de Honda Jenson Button y Rubens Barrichello . Force India también corrió con motores Mercedes, después de correr con motores Ferrari en 2008 .
Cambios de controlador
El único cambio de piloto de temporada baja fue tras el retiro de David Coulthard de Red Bull después de 14 años en la Fórmula Uno. Fue reemplazado por Sebastian Vettel , que había corrido para Toro Rosso en 2008. El asiento de Vettel en Toro Rosso fue ocupado por el piloto suizo Sébastien Buemi , quien fue piloto de pruebas de Red Bull en 2008.
Tras el Gran Premio de Alemania , el Toro Rosso de Sebastien Bourdais fue eliminado por el equipo, con el Toro Rosso director , Franz Tost, alegando que la asociación no había cumplido con sus expectativas. Bourdais fue reemplazado por Jaime Alguersuari antes del Gran Premio de Hungría . Alguersuari había estado compitiendo en la Fórmula Renault 3.5 Series en 2009 y solo había firmado un acuerdo para reemplazar a Brendon Hartley como piloto de pruebas de Toro Rosso dos semanas antes. El abogado aconsejó a Bourdais que presentara una demanda por incumplimiento de contrato por parte de Toro Rosso. Toro Rosso resolvió el asunto con un pago de 2,1 millones de dólares a Bourdais para evitar litigios.
Después de sufrir una lesión durante la clasificación para el Gran Premio de Hungría, Felipe Massa de Ferrari se perdió el resto de la temporada. Fue reemplazado para las siguientes dos carreras por el piloto de pruebas de Ferrari Luca Badoer , pero después de que Badoer no lograra anotar un solo punto en sus dos carreras, Ferrari lo reemplazó por Giancarlo Fisichella, quien había firmado un contrato para ser piloto de pruebas de Ferrari para 2010 y había conducido para Force India durante la temporada 2009. El asiento de Fisichella en Force India fue ocupado por Vitantonio Liuzzi , quien fue el piloto de pruebas de Force India.
Después del Gran Premio de Hungría, Renault se separó de Nelson Piquet Jr. ya que no había logrado anotar un solo punto y surgieron acusaciones de que se había estrellado intencionalmente durante el Gran Premio de Singapur de 2008 . Piquet fue reemplazado por Romain Grosjean , que era el piloto de pruebas de Renault.
En la clasificación para el Gran Premio de Japón , Timo Glock de Toyota se estrelló fuertemente en la última curva y fue trasladado en avión al hospital con una lesión en la pierna. Como no estaba en condiciones de competir, Jarno Trulli fue el único piloto que representó a Toyota en el Gran Premio de Japón. El 11 de octubre, Toyota confirmó que su piloto de pruebas, Kamui Kobayashi , haría su debut en la carrera en el Gran Premio de Brasil , ya que Glock había sufrido más complicaciones por su accidente, lo que provocó una vértebra fracturada y no se garantizaría que estuviera en forma a tiempo para carrera en Brasil. Kobayashi retuvo el asiento en la última carrera de la temporada en Abu Dhabi .

Cambios de calendario
- El Gran Premio de China se adelantó de su fecha de octubre a abril para convertirse en la tercera ronda del campeonato.
- Abu Dhabi hizo su primera aparición en el calendario de F1 bajo el nombre de Gran Premio de Abu Dhabi , con una carrera que se llevó a cabo en el Circuito Yas Marina en la isla Yas en Abu Dhabi el 1 de noviembre, la ronda final de la temporada 2009. Eso significó que el Gran Premio de Abu Dhabi fue la nueva ronda final de la temporada 2009, reemplazando al Gran Premio de Brasil como la ronda final tradicional desde 2004 .
- El Gran Premio de Japón cambió los circuitos del Fuji Speedway en Oyama al Circuito de Suzuka en Suzuka .
- El Gran Premio de Canadá y el Gran Premio de Francia se eliminaron del calendario. El primero volvería un año después, en 2010 .
Cambios de reglas
La FIA publicó los reglamentos técnicos preliminares para la temporada 2009 el 22 de diciembre de 2006, [27] y fueron revisados varias veces para acomodar los hallazgos del Grupo de Trabajo de Adelantos (formado en respuesta a las preocupaciones de que los adelantos en las carreras de rueda a rueda se estaban volviendo cada vez más frecuentes). raro) [28] y la creciente necesidad de reducir los costos en el deporte para minimizar los costos financieros. [29]
- Los neumáticos Slick regresaron por primera vez desde que fueron prohibidos para la temporada de 1998 . Bridgestone siguió siendo el único proveedor de neumáticos, y los conductores todavía tenían que utilizar ambos compuestos de neumáticos durante una carrera. [30] Los neumáticos blandos se diferenciaron por una marca verde alrededor de los lados de los neumáticos, en lugar de una marca blanca en una ranura como se usó en 2008 . [31] Además, los neumáticos de lluvia pasaron a denominarse "intermedios" y los neumáticos de clima extremo pasaron a denominarse "húmedos". [32]
- Las regulaciones aerodinámicas se modificaron radicalmente para la temporada 2009. Las alas delanteras se hicieron más bajas y más anchas, mientras que las alas traseras se cambiaron para ser más altas y más estrechas. [33] Además de los cambios en las dimensiones de las alas, la carrocería se volvió mucho más regulada al eliminar muchos de los componentes adicionales vistos en temporadas anteriores (incluidas las tablas de barcazas, las aletas y las paletas giratorias), [33] lo que hace que los autos de 2009 sean notablemente diferentes. en apariencia que en años anteriores. El difusor en la parte trasera del automóvil se movió hacia atrás y hacia arriba. También se estandarizaron muchos otros componentes menores del chasis. El objetivo de las nuevas regulaciones aerodinámicas, así como la reintroducción de neumáticos lisos, era disminuir la dependencia de la carga aerodinámica y aumentar el agarre mecánico con el objetivo de facilitar las carreras rueda a rueda. [34]
- Por primera vez, se permitió a los automóviles utilizar una carrocería ajustable por el conductor, en forma de aletas ajustables en el alerón delantero. Los flaps se pueden ajustar hasta seis grados, limitados a solo dos ajustes por vuelta. [33] Los alerones delanteros ajustables se diseñaron para mejorar la carga aerodinámica al seguir a otro automóvil, otro cambio diseñado para mejorar los adelantamientos.
- Los sistemas de recuperación de energía cinética , un dispositivo de frenado regenerativo diseñado para recuperar parte de la energía cinética del vehículo que normalmente se disipa como calor durante el frenado, se introdujeron para la temporada 2009. La energía recuperada puede almacenarse eléctricamente, en una batería o supercondensador , o mecánicamente, en un volante , [35] para su uso como fuente de potencia aceleradora adicional a discreción del conductor mediante un botón de impulso en el volante. [34] Las regulaciones limitan la potencia adicional a alrededor de 82 hp (61 kW) de 400kJ durante seis segundos por vuelta. [35] Los sistemas no se hicieron obligatorios, y debido a preocupaciones sobre las ganancias limitadas en el rendimiento y las implicaciones de seguridad, solo cuatro equipos optaron por usar el sistema durante la temporada.
- Si bien la FIA planeaba introducir un límite presupuestario para limitar la cantidad de gasto de los equipos de Fórmula Uno en 2008, [36] no se acordó la cantidad y se abandonó la idea del límite presupuestario. En cambio, los costos se redujeron por una prohibición total de las pruebas durante la temporada, una reducción forzada en el uso del túnel de viento , el intercambio de más datos durante los fines de semana de carreras, una mayor vida útil mínima del motor y las cajas de cambios tuvieron que durar cuatro carreras, y una penalización. de cinco lugares en la parrilla de salida se aplicó, en caso de que un piloto lo cambiara durante el fin de semana anterior al inicio de la carrera. [37]
- Cada piloto estaba limitado a un máximo de ocho motores a lo largo de la temporada, además de cuatro motores para prácticas / pruebas; el uso de motores adicionales resultó en una penalización de la parrilla de 10 lugares por cada motor adicional utilizado. Para ayudar a mejorar la confiabilidad, los motores se desafinaron de 19,000 RPM a 18,000 rpm. [37]
- La regla que establece que el carril de boxes está cerrado durante un período de Safety Car se eliminó en 2009. La regla se introdujo en 2007 para evitar que los conductores regresaran rápidamente a los boxes para repostar, posiblemente acelerando a través de una zona de peligro, pero el software se desarrolló con éxito para resolver este problema. [38] El límite de velocidad del carril de boxes también se incrementó de 50 mph (80 km / h) a 62 mph (100 km / h).
- La FIA inicialmente declaró que el piloto con más victorias al final de la temporada sería el ganador del Campeonato del Mundo de Fórmula Uno 2009, pero abandonó la decisión debido a la oposición de los equipos y pilotos. [39] [40] La Asociación de Equipos de Fórmula Uno argumentó que la FIA no podría cambiar las reglas tan cerca del comienzo de la temporada sin el acuerdo total de los equipos. [41] [42] Otras propuestas rechazadas por la FIA fueron la introducción de un nuevo sistema de puntos con la escala 12–9–7–5–4–3–2–1 y la concesión de medallas al primer, segundo y tercer lugar. [32]
Pretemporada
El presidente de la FIA, Max Mosley, anunció cambios dramáticos en las reglas para la temporada 2009 en un intento por mejorar el espectáculo del deporte, con los autos experimentando cambios importantes en un esfuerzo por aumentar los adelantamientos. Los cambios de diseño alteraron significativamente el diseño de los autos, incorporando aletas delanteras más anchas y más bajas, aletas traseras más altas y más estrechas y una reducción en la carrocería aerodinámica. [33] También se introdujeron neumáticos lisos y sistemas de recuperación de energía cinética, así como la implementación de medidas de reducción de costos en respuesta a los crecientes costos de competir. [43]
Honda anunció en diciembre de 2008 que dejaría la Fórmula Uno con efecto inmediato, como resultado de la crisis de la industria automotriz . [44] [45] Después de un invierno de incertidumbre, el 5 de marzo de 2009 se confirmó que el equipo competiría en la temporada 2009 como Brawn GP , con motores Mercedes, luego de una compra por parte de la gerencia dirigida por el director del equipo Ross Brawn , y retendría los servicios de Jenson Button y Rubens Barrichello como conductores. [46] [47] Anthony Davidson , quien compitió para el equipo Super Aguri respaldado por Honda antes de su retiro anticipado en 2008, se unió a Brawn como piloto de pruebas.
Force India joined Brawn GP in using the Mercedes engines by signing a five-year deal until 2013, having ended their previous supply contract from Ferrari.[48] The retirement of Red Bull Racing driver David Coulthard led to the appointment of Sebastian Vettel as his replacement,[49] who left the Scuderia Toro Rosso team after a successful previous season including winning the Italian Grand Prix. Toro Rosso, a team designed to develop new Formula One drivers, saw co-owner Gerhard Berger sell his half-stake back to Red Bull, claiming that the new regulations would "leave no room for improvement for a small team like STR", Franz Tost took over as team boss.[50] Filling Vettel's race seat in Toro Rosso was Sébastien Buemi, who as part of the Red Bull Junior Team competed for Trust Team Arden in the GP2 Series.[20]
The Drivers' World Championship would be decided in the traditional manner of points scored after Bernie Ecclestone's idea that the driver who won the most races be declared as the champion was scrapped following protests from the Formula One Teams Association.[41] The teams were less successful in their attempts to have the long-running French and Canadian Grands Prix kept on the calendar,[51] with the organisers of both events pulling out due to financial issues.[52][53][54] The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix made its début appearance as the last round of the season, at the Hermann Tilke-designed Yas Marina Circuit.[55] The race, starting at sunset, was Formula One's first day-night race.[56]
The first multi-team testing session took place at Circuit de Catalunya, Barcelona in November 2008, two weeks after the end of previous season.[57] All teams, except Toyota, took part in the testing session where some teams tested their new aerodynamics package and slick tyres.[58] The new look cars did not suit everyone's taste, with BMW Sauber's test driver, Christian Klien, labelling the car the ugliest car he'd ever seen.[59] On 9 March, testing at Barcelona featured for the first time Brawn GP, who made an immediate impact by leading the times early in the day. The test, the first in which all teams used their 2009 cars, had BMW Sauber leading the times while Brawn GP finished fourth.[60] On day three, Brawn GP's Jenson Button was fastest by just over one second to Ferrari's Felipe Massa,[61] while Button's teammate Rubens Barrichello went even faster the next day. At the other end of the timing sheets, reigning Champion Lewis Hamilton's McLaren team were struggling to adapt to the new regulations, often 1.5 seconds off the pace.[62] Massa stated he had never seen McLaren so far behind.[63]
A major source of controversy throughout the winter season were the rear diffusers. Three teams – Toyota, Williams and Brawn GP – launched their cars with a diffuser that uses the rear crash structure in order to generate additional downforce, labelled "double diffusers".[64] These designs were quickly protested, and just days after the cars were unveiled, rival teams asked the FIA for a clarification on the matter.[65]
On the Wednesday of the season opening race in Australia, an official complaint was launched by the seven other teams against the rear diffusers of the Williams FW31, Toyota TF109 and the Brawn BGP 001 saying that they were illegal.[66] The FIA scrutineers disagreed, declaring the cars legal.[67] The other six teams filed an unsuccessful appeal which was heard on 14 April 2009 – the week prior to round three of the championship, the Chinese Grand Prix.[68]
Informe
The season opened at the Australian Grand Prix, won by Jenson Button with teammate Rubens Barrichello in second, giving the team a 1–2 on its début. Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel had been running in second until he collided with BMW Sauber's Robert Kubica. The accident meant the race finished behind the safety car, with Toyota's Jarno Trulli eventually classified third despite McLaren's false protest he had illegally overtaken Lewis Hamilton.[69] Reigning champion Hamilton was disqualified from the Australian race for lying to the stewards and at the following Malaysian Grand Prix there were reports he was on the verge of quitting.[70] The race was equally dramatic, being stopped because of monsoon-like conditions, meaning only half points were awarded for only the fifth time in F1 history. Button mastered the changing conditions for his second win, while quick starting Nico Rosberg dropped to eighth when the race was stopped.[71] In the interval between races, the controversial double diffusers, used by Brawn, Williams and Toyota, were declared legal by the FIA, ending the fight over their use.[72] The Chinese race also took place in wet conditions, with the rain throughout the duration of the race necessitating a safety car start and causing several accidents. Vettel led teammate Mark Webber to Red Bull's first win in Formula One, ahead of the two Brawns and McLarens.
Dry conditions at Bahrain saw the Toyota team gain the front of the grid, but Button managed to fight up from a fourth-place start, and overtook race leader Timo Glock on his first pit stop. Hamilton and Räikkönen, in fourth and sixth respectively, gave their 2008 championship winning teams the best finishes of a disappointing season start.[73] The Spanish Grand Prix was a battle between the Brawn teammates, with Barrichello getting ahead of polesitter Button while a first lap incident forced the retirement of four drivers. Button followed a different pit-stop strategy and passed Barrichello during his stop, leading Brawn's second one-two of the season.[74] Red Bull was the closest team to Brawn finishing third and fourth, while Felipe Massa's fuel shortage lost him places as he slowed to finish the race. Button won in dominant fashion at Monaco, leading the majority of the race from pole position ahead of his teammate Barrichello and Räikkönen, who scored Ferrari's first podium in 2009. At the Turkish Grand Prix Vettel started on pole but lost the position to Button on the first lap. Button went on to win, followed by Webber and a closely pursuing Vettel. Barrichello's car developed a gearbox problem, and incidents with Heikki Kovalainen and Adrian Sutil resulted in Brawn's first retirement of the season. By winning six out of the first seven races, Button had opened up a 26-point lead on his teammate, with Vettel a further six points behind.[75]
The British Grand Prix was seen as a turning point, being dominated by Red Bull with Vettel leading home Webber, in dry conditions. Button was not on the podium for the first time this season, finishing sixth. Red Bull also dominated the following German Grand Prix with Webber taking his first pole and race win, despite being given a drive through penalty. Ferrari were also showing signs of improvement, Felipe Massa finishing third in what would be his final race of the season. He was hospitalised after being hit on the helmet by a flying spring when he was travelling at 162 mph in qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix.[76] The accident overshadowed the race, with a lightly-fueled Fernando Alonso on pole retiring early in the race, which was won by Lewis Hamilton. Jaime Alguersuari finished his début race ahead of Buemi, the Toro Rosso test driver replacing the fired Sébastien Bourdais.[77] Post-race, the Renault team received a suspension for the European Grand Prix, for an incident where Alonso's tyre came loose on the race track following a pit-stop error.[78] An appeal overturned the decision, and the team raced in Valencia.[79]
During the summer break, BMW Sauber announced their withdrawal from Formula One racing due to poor results and lack of financial sustainability.[80] The team would compete until the end of the season, while BMW attempted to sell the organisation. Seven-time champion Michael Schumacher was originally set to replace the injured Massa, but the seat was taken by test driver Luca Badoer due to Schumacher's neck injuries.[81][82] Also replaced was Renault driver Nelson Piquet Jr., who complained of unfair treatment by team management,[83] in favour of GP2 driver Romain Grosjean.[84]
The European Grand Prix in Valencia provided the first win for Rubens Barrichello after Hamilton lost the lead with an error in the pits;[85] he finished second while both Red Bulls failed to score. At the Belgian Grand Prix Giancarlo Fisichella gained Force India's first pole position, and his second-place finish behind Kimi Räikkönen gave their first points. Button's title charge was undermined by poor qualifying and a crash, involving him, Hamilton, Alguersuari and Grosjean, ending their races. Following the race Badoer, who had qualified and finished last in both races, was replaced with Giancarlo Fisichella after his performance at the Belgian race.[9] Vitantonio Liuzzi in turn took the vacant Force India drive.[86] Brawn returned to form in Italy, with Barrichello leading home the team's fourth 1–2 of the season. Lewis Hamilton crashed on the penultimate lap, but came back by winning the next race at Singapore. Webber's crash ended his chance of winning the championship. Vettel kept the opportunity of winning the Drivers' title with a dominant display in the Japanese Grand Prix, with Toyota's Trulli gaining what would prove to be Toyota's final podium before their withdrawal at the end of the season. Toyota teammate Glock was injured during qualifying, and a cracked vertebra meant he was replaced by reserve Kamui Kobayashi for the final two races.[87]
The Drivers' and Constructors' Championships were both decided at the penultimate race in Brazil. Storm affected qualifying at Interlagos gave Barrichello pole during Formula One's longest qualifying session,[88] while title-rivals Button and Vettel started from 14th and 16th respectively. During the first lap, three incidents led to the retirement of three cars and a fire in the pit-lane, with Button taking advantage to move up the grid. Button fought up to fifth position by the race end, securing enough points to clinch the title.[89] Mark Webber took the lead after Barrichello pitted and won the race, followed by Robert Kubica, to give BMW Sauber their joint best result of their final season and his only podium result in 2009. Lewis Hamilton completed the top three after starting 17th on the grid, moving him and McLaren above Kimi Räikkönen and Ferrari respectively in the Championships.[89] The inaugural Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, taking place at sunset, rounded out the season, with another win for Vettel and Red Bull's fourth 1–2 result of the year, awarding Vettel and the team second place in both championships.
2008 race fixing controversy
In a scandal dubbed "Crashgate" by the media, allegations of race-fixing during the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix emerged during the second half of the 2009 season from former Renault driver Nelson Piquet Jr. Over the course of the 2009 Belgian Grand Prix, Piquet, who had been sacked weeks earlier by Renault, claimed he was asked to crash at the Singapore race in a strategy designed to aid teammate and eventual race winner Fernando Alonso. Renault were handed a two-year suspended ban from the sport after the FIA World Motor Sport Council decided the team's managing director, Flavio Briatore and its executive director of engineering, Pat Symonds had asked Piquet to crash. Both had left the team before the WMSC hearing, where they were given life and five-year suspensions respectively. It had been rumoured Renault were prepared to quit the sport at the end of the 2009 season had the team been heavily punished,[90] but the FIA found Briatore and Symonds solely to blame and chose to suspend Renault's ban.[91]
