The BMW Sauber F1.09 was a car that BMW Sauber competed in the 2009 Formula One season. It was driven by Nick Heidfeld and Robert Kubica.
The F1.09 was a disappointment for the team, being less competitive than its predecessor, the F1.08. Despite a promising start to the season at the Australian Grand Prix, Kubica lost out on a possible second place after colliding with Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel some laps before the race ended.
Heidfeld and Kubica scored two podiums during the season, with Heidfeld scoring one at Sepang and Kubica at Interlagos.
The team fell down to a sixth place in the Constructors' Championship. After the season, BMW announced that 2009 would be their last season in Formula One.
