Overall: “Brawn – The Impossible Formula One Story” is a fantastic documentary series that I really enjoyed. If you’re a fan of Formula One racing, I’m sure you’re going to really enjoy getting an inside look at the events of 2009 and if, like me, you had no idea about any of this, its going to be a great introduction to the sport and how competitive and technical the sport can be. Sports offers a different type of story, regardless of what sport that is. While I might not be a big sports fan, I really have been enjoying shows like “Welcome To Wrexham”, “30 For 30” or “Quarterback”.

While the later episodes focus more on Rubens and Jenson’s rivalry, with Rubens getting closer to winning the championship, while Jenson’s dream of becoming the champion slowly starts to unravel due to multiple issues, both with the car and his own personal issues.

Then happened to come up with a groundbreaking design, that was miles ahead of every other team. I had no idea what had happened back in 2009, and one of the things I really enjoyed about this series, was the initial episode was more focused on the business angle, how Honda was pulling out of the sport due to the stock market crash and how this team managed to get the money together to survive. The style of the documentary really got me interested in what happened to Brawn GP. However, I watched two episodes over two nights and really enjoyed it. So, I came into this documentary without too much excitement and was at the bottom of my review pile over the past week. I’ve never watched an entire Formula One race in my life, but because the British news covers the events of every race, I’ve heard of many of the biggest stars in the sport and have seen highlights of probably hundreds of races over the years. ![]() This new British documentary features interviews with British F1 driver Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello, along with the team’s owner Ross Brawn, and many more huge names from the F1 world including Bernie Ecclestone, Christian Horner and Mark Webber.
