Brawn: The Impossible Formula 1 Story

This documentary predominantly consists of interviews with key individuals arranged in a well-thought-out sequence. It refrains from introducing artificial drama and avoids relying on external experts providing irrelevant commentary. The filmmakers wisely chose to engage with drivers, team personnel, and other significant figures such as Bernie Ecclestone, Christian Horner, Luca di Montezemolo, and many others. Even Felipe Massa makes an appearance, contributing insights into his incident in Hungary. I believe the only non-competitor from that period is Martin Brundle, whose expertise in Formula 1 is unquestionable. Personally, I found the documentary thoroughly enjoyable and informative, gaining new insights into the sport. I hope for more documentaries of this caliber, delving into the intricacies of the sport I love very much.

I watch a tiny bit F1 from time to time after the Netflix series. Just to have something to follow. And the many rules and personalities make it engaging. It's also easier to get into than any other sport because you just need to know 20 athletes. That's it. It's fewer performers than players on a single soccer team. You can watch it and know everything about it right away. Tour de France in comparison has 170+ riders. Plus you have more action here too.

This is a great documentary for all people. Fans and outsiders alike. Keanu Reeves does such a spectacular job at interviewing people that this should be shown in journalist schools. Some of the best interviewing I have seen. He's hype and engaged and knows the details of the story making the participants respond in a way that makes structuring this documentary extremely easy for editors. The whole thing was clearly carefully planned out before the interviews took place and Keanu is extremely focused on making it the best thing it can be with clear and direct questions about what the people felt and what happened. Removing most F1 drama and rumors and sticking to the emotional rollercoaster it is. Plus we get a ton of F1 vs. The teams drama too with both sides being interviewed. Overall everyone comes out from this looking good. It's counter to Netflix Drive to Survive that made Max look like a cold monster to create a storyline. So much so that even people who disliked him called them out for it and he refused to take part in more seasons even though the show became a gigantic hit and made F1 into what it is today.

So the interviewing is some of the best I have ever seen. They have recordings of all the races. They interview most of the important people. They structure the story so that everything is clear yet the mystery remains and you don't know what will happen next. I frankly don't see anyone improving on this. And I have seen a ton of F1 and sports documentaries. Race documentaries are usually dull and slow. This turns it around and makes it personal. The excitement is created by the guy who interviews people and structures the story. Something I have been begging for in other such documentaries about single seasons. A host tying it all together. Yet for some reason most other documentaries avoid this and instead focus on some lousy interviews with no preparation from when the event took place. Awful.

Only thing lacking is details. It's extremely shallow with basically no tech details anywhere and you feel like you don't quite understand anything about this.

I frankly want Keanu to go over modern seasons too. I want to see all Max wins too. Please.

Keanu Reeves does an outstanding job putting this together - research, obtaining video, interviewing so many of the people involved - showing that he has as GENUINE interest in F1 and this specific story about Brawn GP.

There's a perfect blending of technical information and the people involved - the human element. The pace, the combination of present-day and video of the time to present the story, is excellent! The makers recognized that there was no need to add or contrive drama.

Brawn is accessible and enjoyable, irrespective of prior exposure to F1, but, for the F1 fan, it's a real joy. It's great to see an F1 documentary that is this respectful of the people - and the viewer - and has the integrity to not embellish.

If you are new fan of F1 , then this show is for you. This show will show how a team runs and that to in a simple language.

If you are an old F1 fan or fan of Ross brawn or Jenson button , then this show is a must for you.

Literally , Netflix should learn how to make a show based on F1.

The cinematic of this show was awesome and thrilling at the same time. They literally made us feel as if we are watching the 2009 again but this time much closer than earlier.

Everything in this show was awesome that words are less to appreciate. Literally got to many things I was not aware of .

And of course keanu reeves was like a cherry on the top .

I watched this documentary but I had watched the season.

I thought this doco was was put together and had an amazing amount of people involved appearing.

Keanu was great as the presenter and was enthusiastic as I know he like's F1.

The doco certainly has a feel good factor to it.

For a team with almost no budget to build two cars and be competitive is a fairy tale. To win 6 out of the first 7 was just unheard of. The trials and tribulations that happened afterwards shows the resilience of the drivers and the team. To win a world championship in the last race of the season by having to reach 5th from back in the melee, is astonshing.

To much water under the bridge now but if when Williams came onto the scene now, they could have done another. Williams upset everyone after the glory years of Lotus and Mario Andretti. Frank Williams built a team up out of nothing and hired Patrick Head to design the car. All of the success of Williams was down to Head and then Adrian Newry. Newry left and went to Red Bull and that's when they took off. Unfortunately after Sir Frank Passed and Newry left, Williams was never competitive again,

With the exception of Ferrari, all F1 teams are based in the England. We are the soul of F1.

I thoroughly enjoyed it and decide to refrain on too my thought on Mr Eccleston.
