On 6 March 2009, Brawn confirmed that both Barrichello and Jenson Button would remain for 2009. In the last pre-season test, both Barrichello and Button surprised the paddock with very quick lap times, Barrichello was nearly a second faster than anyone on day four. At Melbourne he was top in Q1 and Q2 and second in Q3 completed a front row lock out for Brawn GP, alongside team-mate Jenson Button in P1. Despite a poor start and damage sustained to the front wing and rear diffuser he managed to recover to finish the race in second place. He started 8th on the grid in Malaysia after getting a grid penalty for a gearbox change and finished the race in fifth place after the race was abandoned at Sepang due to heavy rain. At Shangai, he outpaced Button in qualifying, but struggled with his car's brakes and finished 4th, well behind winner Vettel.
