Formula 1 fans have experienced quite a few inspirational stories since the sport’s inception but one that is still quite high on the list is that of the Ross Brawn-led Brawn GP F1 team. They shocked the whole world during the 2009 campaign and it has been recently announced by Disney that they are going to release their four-part docu-series on the team from 15th November onwards on Hulu. The series will be presented by Hollywood star, Keanu Reeves.

The work around the series has been going on for quite some time and finally, after months and months of hard work, the series is ready to go online. The series Brawn: The Impossible Formula 1 Story will revisit the tale of Ross Brawn coming to the aid of the former Honda team after the Japanese manufacturer decided to quit F1 at the end of 2008.

Moreover, it has come to light that the highly-anticipated series is going to feature special interviews with Ross Brawn, and the Brawn GP 2009 F1 season drivers, Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello. The series will also see the lights of the former CEO of Brawn GP and Mercedes F1 team, Nick Fry, and Red Bull’s current team principal, Christian Horner.

While there are going to be quite a few interviews with some of the most known personalities on F1, the producers of the series have also promised behind-the-scenes access to footage that has not been seen before. The hype around the series started building the moment Keanu Reeves was announced as the presenter but ever since the reveal of the release date, the hype has picked up immense pace.

Brawn GP has a remarkable F1 story

While the release of the four-part docu-series is not too far away, the Brawn GP story is nothing short of remarkable. During the 2008 campaign, Honda was struggling massively to keep the team running, and after reaching a certain threshold, the Japanese manufacturer decided to pull the plug on the team. Ross Brawn stepped in and took control ahead of the 2009 campaign.

In 2009, Honda had a speedy car for the F1 season. The Brawn GP BGP001, with its clever double diffuser design, was super-fast. It made a big entrance during winter testing. Then, in Melbourne, Rubens Barrichello and Jenson Button took the front row in the first race.

This Brawn car shocked everyone in F1. Button won six out of seven races at the start of the 2009 season. No one could catch up. Button clinched the F1 world championship in Brazil. Mercedes bought the team in 2009, and in 2010, they raced as a factory team.
