Does anyone know if it will be available on DVD.
Oooft! You properly aged yourself with that question. I do have a smart TV and do everything on my PC, but I’m not willing to pay monthly to Sky, Disney etc etc.

I have neither the TV nor the eyes to bother with BluRay.

So sign up and cancel immediately, you get a month to watch all the content you like. I mean how many times will you rewatch a dvd set? You’re 76 already
Thanks for the tip, I will check with my Grandchildren they know all the tricks. They gave me their log in details for Netflix and Amazon, had it for years for free, but they have got a grip of all the fiddling now.The reason I asked about a DVD is I started transferring loads of old family home movie DVD`s onto USB sticks, but decided it was simpler and cheaper to buy a DVD player for £25 from Amazon.
I watched it last night it was very good, I do love Bernie's little quips and cryptic clues, Luca was funny with his how dare they start to win this will not stand, attitude, a total nest of vipers.
Loved it that Bernie called Briatore immediately to spill the beans, but those two have always been very tight so much so that for me the whole FOTA break away was probably Bernie's idea and he was pulling its strings from the inside Briatore's outrage was faked and it was all actually about getting rid of Mosely, there are so many double dealings that at points I'm sure many meet themselves coming backwards, after all Bernie knew he was going to have to share more of the pie.

Just binged watched this on iPlayer, and it was a wonderful docu-series on an extraordinary sequence of events. From the initial "buy out" of Honda for £1, to putting in epic 24hour shifts to re-design the back of the bar for the Mercedes engine, to seeing the shock on every other team when Brawn destroyed them in Australia, to the political goings-on with FiA and FOTA, to the nervousness in the team when RB & McLaren started to make gains mid-season, to the joy on everyone's faces in Brazil. Fantastic stuff, and certainly a once in a lifetime event. I appreciate that those cars are not the best lookers, but they do look wonderfully compact & agile, compared to today's monstrosities.
Hello folks, I’m not regular in this area of the forum, I gave up F1 many years ago.
However I do remember the 2009 season with fondness and thoroughly enjoyed this documentary which I viewed this week. If only every F1 season could be like that! Fantastic.
A question to the regulars on here?
Is that a very accurate account on the events portrayed relating to FOTA, Ross Brawn, Bernie?
Particularly Bernie gossiping to Flávio and Ross playing his trump card?

+1 Really enjoyed it.Just watched it on the iPlayer. Superb television, highly recommended. Keanu Reeves might've been an unlikely choice as the host, but he did an excellent job as a knowledgeable and enthusiastic presenter / interviewer.
If Honda hadn't withdrawn, I wonder how the redesigned 'Brawn' car would've fared with a Honda engine in the back?
