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.

From 1st episode to the last one, masterpiece in every detail. You live the dream with them.

Well done ! Highly recommend everyone to watch it.

The drama, the sequence of events, how they gathered the action, it was simply genius. You don't feel you are watching a documentary. And please I mean it in a good way. It is a pleasant journey with a lot of action. You really feel engaged with the brawn gp.

How they interviewed the other teams just enhanced the overall experience. It combined engineering, drama, personal feelings and ambitions in well made combination. That well certainly satisfy and entertain the audience.

And Keuanu Reevs was absolutely amazing. It wouldn't be as good as it is without him. Who ever brought him in is genius.

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 .

Overall this is great and is well worth the watch but I felt that Keanu was rather wooden, which I was not expect from someone I had thought of as an F1 fan. You would have thought that a Hollywood A list actor could act with some more enthusiasm. It just felt like he was given the script 30 seconds before filming had started.

Quite a few events that I'd forgotten happened at the time, looking back, I think this was the last time that F1 was truly exciting. Now it they could only look back and replicated this into the modern era that would be fantastic.

So, overall it is worth watching just do not be put off by the wooden performance of Keanu.
