While I've not been a great fan of F1 in recent years, this new series on BBC2 is well worth watching.

Brawn: The Impossible F1 Story (BBC2 Sundays 9pm) - 4 episodes or all are on BBC iPlayer)
"Keanu Reeves shares one of Formula 1's greatest underdog stories. After the 2008 financial crisis, an under-financed independent team takes on the world's best. Ross Brawn, the genius behind Ferrari’s recent success, leads a management buyout to save the failing Honda team. Renamed Brawn GP, Ross leads the team to focus on new regulations, aided by a young engineer's discovery. Despite adversity, they built a car just in time for their first race in Melbourne, Australia."

The F1 Honda Engine Chassis was already finished at the time Honda pulled out of F1 .. with Brawn Team re-start it was a case of No Engine but there was a instruction given to Cut Off that Honda Engine adaptor Plate & splice on the new one ..my Son was challenged to do that job & at that time they did not know what make of Engine would be fitted.
F1 Brawn Team just did not have any money or sponsors other than the Teams closure money that Honda had provided to pay for the Redundancy of Staff ..Brawn & Chums used that Honda money to just keep the Team going.. that years F1 Championship was the result of Team Members working incredibly hard it was all done with a lot of determination & long hours.

Truly amazing year, you son must have great memories of that season.

Yeah enjoying watching this! Bernie really does come across very creepy, not that that’s news!
