Formula 1 is growing by leaps and bounds every year. Liberty Media is ensuring the sport grows in America. The influx of Hollywood stars in the sport has helped as well. Keanu Reeves is the latest to join this list. He will be presenting a docuseries on Brawn GP, the team that won the 2009 championship. Mercedes would take over the team next year, and well, the rest is history.

Brawn: The Impossible Formula 1 Story

Brawn GP was a team that literally rose from the ashes of another team. After the global recession of 2008, Honda decided to sell its team but couldn’t find any buys. Ross Brawn came in at the last minute and bought the team for a single pound.

Through his connections in the world of Formula 1, he was able to secure a Mercedes engine for 2009. Unbeknownst to them, Honda had made one of the best chassis on the grid, featuring the famed double diffuser.

Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello secured a 1-2 finish in the team’s first race. Brawn GP would go on to win both championships that year, Jenson being the drivers’ champion.
