About

"An underdog miracle told by the people who built it"

This four-part documentary tells the almost unbelievable true story of the 2009 Formula 1 season, when Honda abandoned its team just before the year began, leaving it to be rescued for a token fee and rebranded Brawn GP. Against all odds, the underdog outfit went on to dominate the grid. Told through interviews with the people who lived it, the series moves briskly and leans on genuine underdog drama rather than technical jargon, making it accessible even if you have never watched a Grand Prix.

Watch it for

the genuinely astonishing true story of a doomed team becoming world champions within months.

Maybe skip if

you already know the outcome and want deep technical detail rather than human drama.

Written by our AI editor to help you decide, spoiler-free by design.
