The double diffuser helped Brawn score a big points lead before the other teams caught up. I think there were three teams who had the double diffuser from the start of the season with Williams and maybe Toyota being the others. I remember Benson's first season in F1 with Williams. At Spa he told the team one of the track brake markers was in the wrong place. When checked he was proven to be correct. Edited: Big not bit points lead

@@simonkevnorris i think what makes the brawn story even cooler is the fact that williams and toyota did also start the season with the double diffuser. it makes it less that "oh they were the ones who found this loophole and ran away with it before ppl could catch up" and more of a prefect story story, the fact that the "2009 honda" had that aero advantage and they managed to luck into the mercedes engine fitting near perfectly into the chassis, then having 2 brilliant drivers in jenson and rubens

Never had an overall favourite F1 driver as a kid I liked so many drivers and was more in love with the sport as a whole but seeing Jenson finally get that chance in a winning car at the time was unbelievable as a fellow Englishman.

Im sure this documentary was Reeves' idea. He's a total petrol head! Loves his bikes and cars. He has his own motorcycle company. I'd say with the upmost confidence that there's no act when it comes to Keanu in this series.

Completed it today and loved it. It was quite refreshing to see that Brawn GP race engineers competed against each other and fought for their drivers rather than follow team orders and favor a particular driver and give the 2nd driver alternate race strategies. I would like to see more of that.

The series drew me in, got me excited and emotional, very very good. Am recommending to all of my friends, whether followers of F1 or not. It's a great story, very well told.

Very good documentary. As a long-time fan, you already knew a lot, but it was still interesting. And it didn't really feel like 4 hours. Keanu Reeves also did a great job. You can tell he likes motorsport.

Look forward to watching it, sounds very good. I was not watching F1 at that time, so it'll be new to me.

It's a good documentary, I have watched two episodes and I have enjoyed what I have watched so far, like other people have said this will never happen to F1 ever again

Absolutely loved this series. They did an amazing job telling my the story.

One of Honda's worst F1 moments and one of F1's better stories. Very much a tortoise and hare season for brawn, except they started as the hare and morphed into a relative tortoise by the end - but it STILL won!. Scary to remember that that car had no sponsors at the start of the season. 😲

I’d recommend to anyone unfamiliar with the sport. It felt very accessible, as well as being a great intro how F1 used to work.

It's well known that Mr. Reeves loves motorcycles and cars. I'm sure he's not doing any acting in this doc.

Keanu would be the man to narrate... Maybe I'll check it out.

Watch it just for Luca’s bitterness over 10 years later, it’s magical.

When will this be on DVD?

It is worth listening to the audio book- Total Competition written by Adam Parr and Ross Brawn. It tells the story with more depth and detail.

It’s also on streaming Hulu not just Disney+

I'm ready for this story. it was a great one to watch through the races, and I think it will be fun to see again through different perspectives. I can imagine in 10 years time, just when the fervor dies down from people who are upset with the way 2021 turned out, someone is going to make a mini series of that F1 season and plunge us all back into the same series of arguments over that season, getting to hear different stories from different people will make it worth it though.

Fantastic F1 doc.

I need and an entire documentary dedicated to the possible breakaway series

I watched this last week and enjoyed it. Then again, i'd watch anything F1

I didnt know Brawn was in such a shambles going into the 09 season. Altho i wasnt that much into f1 that year. Its still amazing what they achieved

You might want to watch before criticizing. Keanu Reeves has been following and attending races for years, he’s very much a speed freak - is a true (motorcycle) gear head too. Remember, not everyone has been following formula one for decades, so the storytellers are beholden to keep things easier for the new fan to digest. Since Martin Brundle’s first grasp of the microphone, he’s always had a careful way of describing the goings on of the sport with both the avid and novice viewer in mind. Generosity’s not something to be ashamed of, and it’s not a bad thing to share “your” sport with others.

It was a spectacle to watch a barely branded, mystery car destroying everything 🔥🔥🔥

It was very genuine. I watched this season live and even then there was stuff I didn't know. They got some great people to talk to and Lewis' dad was a great substitute for not having Jenson's around anymore for father sun dynamic RIP. Bernie was very worrying with his comments. Horner was far more likable than in DTS. Ruben's was great

@halycon404

My favorite was actually a bit from Bernie to explain the difference in Jenson and Barrichello's results. It's a single line, "Who told you they were the same car?". He then goes on to explain why Rubens had a worse car, Brawn didn't have the money to upkeep two cars in the same condition. But to me it was heartbreaking. He spent the majority of his career in F1 playing second to Schumacher, Ferrari was public about who they gave their resources to and who they wanted to win. As Ferrari made changes throughout a season Michael always got the more developed car on track first, they ordered Ruben to let Michael pass when he did somehow get ahead. They ordered him to make stops so he could defend Michael's position or slow the lead so Schumacher could catch up. He spent his career never being allowed to truly race. Then he signs with Brawn and the only legitimate shot of his career is destroyed by this. His career to me is just sad. Afterwards he'd sign to Williams and he'd spend his final years in F1 putting a backmarker car in the middle of the pack. And somehow, some way, in his final year of F1 he'd put the worst car on the field at one podium finish. I'm not a fan of his but I have always felt sorry for him. He deserved better than the career he got. His career was sacrificed so Michael Schumacher could have his.

Watched the first 2 episodes so far and yes its good.

Excelent documentary... way better than Drive to Survive.

I thought it was brilliant. It doesn’t just heap praise on Brawn, it was fantastic at providing the context within and without of that title charge. Which is exactly what it should do, it shouldn’t be one sided and I felt it presented all sides really well. Reeves I also thought was excellent, and as someone who’s a petrolhead, it was a very good choice for the topic. He was very enthusiastic for the story, and I think props have to go out to the researchers because he always looked confident with the facts and notes he had

Camera work not matching commentary? Sounds exactly like F1.
