The BMW Sauber F1.09 was the Formula One car with which the BMW Sauber team competed in the 2009 Formula One World Championship. The car was launched on 20 January 2009 at Circuit de Valencia in Spain.[2][3] It was driven by Poland's Robert Kubica and Germany's Nick Heidfeld, both retained from 2008.
