Hamilton may have been the defending World Champion, but there was a new team in town come 2009 and they were making a real name for themselves. Brawn GP had set the world alight with their electrifying pace this year and the Hungarian GP was one of the few times in the season that the Ross Brawn-led team failed to make a major impact.

Fernando Alonso started this race in a surprising pole position that gave renewed hope to Renault fans, but his subsequent retirement proved the team wasn't quite like its old self. While the two Brawn drivers struggled, Hamilton made hay in the Hungarian sunshine and drove a brilliant race.

This race would also be remembered for Felipe Massa's shocking fractured skull injury suffered in qualifying along with being the first time that a car equipped with KERS had won a race in F1.
