If you have't seen Brawn: The Impossible Formula 1 Story (you can watch on Sky) it is well worth a watch. I'd forgotten just how challenging it was for the Brawn team at the time.
 
I concur. Started watching it a couple of weeks ago.

It literally was mission impossible and all thanks to the double diffuser, boom!

What astonished me was how they could predict the lap times from the design of the car before they had even driven it, back in the day!
 
have to say the racing looked more interesting as well..... oh and the noise 😍
 
I watched this dome time ago but agree. It’s a story very well told and produced and should be compulsory viewing for anyone remotely interested in F1 and moreso if you watched it at that time. Fascinating !!
 
I always liked how Branson took advantage of it all
 
Thanks for the recommendation, just watching the first episode. Great stuff 👍
 
Been watching it too, what a great fight to the top, F1 was nearly replaced by FOTA whatever the hell that was lol

Formula One Teams Association. It was a backlash against Bernie Ecclescake for having all of the team bosses knackers in his fist, and squeezing them hard. Ultimately, it didnt happen as iirc, one team boss was offered what he wanted to get from Bernie, then he left and the whole thing fell apart. Can’t remember which team boss it was now, maybe Ron Dennis, or that Flavio fella possibly. It was a significant player though.

Of course, i could be wrong about it all too, but never let the truth get in the way of a good story…….
