Formule 1 2009 Australian Grand Prix resultaten

De 2009 Australian Grand Prix werd gewonnnen door Jenson Button van Brawn. Rubens Barrichello eindigde daar vlak achter als 2e met Jarno Trulli ook niet ver daar vandaan.

De race in Australia was ronde 1 van 17 van het 2009 seizoen.

The 2009 Australian Grand Prix (formally the 2009 Formula 1 ING Australian Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on 29 March 2009 at the Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit, Melbourne, Australia. It was the first race of the 2009 Formula One World Championship. The 58-lap race was won by Jenson Button for the Brawn GP team after starting from pole position. Rubens Barrichello finished second in the other Brawn GP car, with Jarno Trulli third for Toyota.

Brawn GP became the first constructor since Mercedes-Benz at the 1954 French Grand Prix to qualify on pole position, and then go on to win the race on their Grand Prix debut. The race also became the second race in Formula One history to finish under stabilised safety car conditions—after the 1999 Canadian Grand Prix—following a collision between Robert Kubica and Sebastian Vettel, who were running second and third, on lap 56. This was Jenson Button's second Grand Prix victory, and his first since the 2006 Hungarian Grand Prix.

This also marked the first race since the 1997 European Grand Prix that cars competed using slick tyres.
