The new trailer showcases the championship winning 2009 Brawn BGP-001, as driven by that F1 World Champion Jenson Button and his team mate, Rubens Barrichello, and the 2003 Williams FW25, of Juan Pablo Montoya and Ralf Schumacher. Both of these cars will feature in the Headline Edition of F1 2018, which is available for pre-order now, and will be available as DLC at a later date after launch. Further classic cars will be revealed in the coming weeks.

Brawn completed an incredible double World Championship in its only season as a team, securing both the 2009 drivers and constructors titles. The car won eight races that season including six wins for Jenson Button in the first seven races of the year. Button went on to win the Drivers World Championship ahead of Sebastian Vettel.

Consumers who pre-order or purchase Day One copies of F1 2018 will have exclusive access to the iconic 2009 Brawn BGP-001 and the 2003 Williams FW25, as DLC content of the F1 2018 Headline Edition. Alternatively, the two cars will be available to be purchased together at a later date.

More F1 2018 news will follow soon, including the reveal of the additional classic cars.

F1 2018 will release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC via Steam on August 24.
