To run a F1 team with only £600,000 for more than half of the season is nothing short of miracle !! I like to salute these two guys. I always admire Ross Brawn, from Benetton to Ferrari to Brawn GP. Ross laid the foundation to the success of Mercedes F1 team today, there is no if and but about it. Whether or not he was replaced by Toto and Paddy in 2014, it was going to be a successful year for Mercedes. A F1 car is not built in a day. The rest is history, as they say.

Amazing to hear about the lack of funds. My wife and I were on the Easyjet flight back to Bristol from Nice, after the Monaco 2009 GP; Ross and Nick were also. I got autographs when we landed - they were perfect gentlemen. Unfortunately Easyjet lost our luggage, along with Ross's, Nick's and Eddie Izzards! (who I sat next to on the plane as it happens), but that's another story...

That was awesome! I didn't know about 99% things how Brawn GP was working, and also, how it started. Great stuff. Can't wait for more. Greetings from Poland ;)

Ok. It's official in my mind now. Ross Brawn=Legend!!

When oh when will it be Sir Ross Brawn. The man is a saint.

Great interview and great job by the host. Love to see more of Ross.

Brilliant interview, great interviewing too. right amount of banter and kept it flowing nicely. wish it was 3x as long

I'm glad someone pionted me towards this so I could nerd out on it. This is what I always want to know about F1, the battles off the track, the hard work done by the teams, as well as the drivers.

I am so happy to find this channel. it's a gem. These two icons of F1 made a lot of fun for us.

I love the podcasts and interviews/etc with all these motorsport legends. Driver and otherwise. The Brits give motorsports the love and attention it deserves. Really appreciate that you guys do this, thank you so much.

Ross Brawn is just phenomenal! Kudos to him to win 7 Championships with Schumacher and 1 with Button!

2009 was an amazing year, thanks for a great interview.

51:00 one of the great pivotal moments in F1 history!! Great lesson for business. Believe a guy like Ross when he tells you he's about to dominate the season.

Fascinating Story! I'd love to see an interview with the engineer who came up with the idea of double diffuser.

Great job in this interview. Amazing history Brawn GP 2009

Ross Brawn... what a legend!!! :D

How has this story not been made in to a movie yet?

just now discovered this , very very interesting content , been waiting for this since december 2008 :)

Love the business of Motorsport and love this interview.

Amazing insight. Please bring more of this stuff :)

Awesome all the way! Superb interview with great insights!

23:55 - The man that Ross and Nick are subtly referring to here is Achilleas Kallakis

Simply inspirational.

There should be a movie about this

That was fantastic! Wish they could have gone on for another hour. So much to tell with this story. Maybe we will see Ross Brawn back sometime soon?

I hope you're able to get a sit down with Ron Dennis. Great stuff!

Excellent insight

what does Nick say at circa 53:50 ? quoting Ross, but I cannot understand

also love Ross he's all fucking business

what is this royal automobile club. Now i want a club.

"It was all good fun" -Ross

“Do you have to keep laughing?”

A clear example of brain over Braun pardon the pun. A blueprint for success

Ross intimating another F1 chapter is in its way?

Lord of war

My elderly aunt has a large collection of Motor Sports magazine dating back to 1943. They were collected and lovingly kept in very good condition by her late husband who was an engineer and a car enthusiast. She doesn't want to keep them as she's looking to downsize her home. She's giving them away for free to anyone who's willing to pick them up at her home (she lives in north London), sending them via post is not practical as they are quite heavy and she's not able to manage it. Would anyone know of anyone who might be interested? If anyone is interested, please send me a message. Cheers!

brutal tragedy for lovely, cool HONDA -- unheard, unrivalled -- fingers crossed for them

Brawn: When i arrived in 2008, the car was a piece of shit, and the team were underperforming. Fry: I started with Honda in 2002 .......

I wonder who the dodgy property developer wannabe- buyer was.

lol ross wanted to turn them out in the streets

HAMMER-piece of fairytale ! should be re-published once per year !

A true fairytale story.

probably the last time i was truely excited about f1, Button had long been my favourite driver, an underdog victory story is always impressive and i never liked the over commercialisation of f1 and the teams, it seemed briefly like the days of Lotus, Mclaren and Williams. actual teams with their own identity and not just brand names. Benneton, Mercedes, BMW, Aston Martin, Alfa Romeo, etc. just seems like stolen valour to me, the team achieves something but the brand name takes credit, and loses its identity whenever a new brand name takes over. I was a massive Lotus fan but to see the enstone team using the Lotus name i didnt like. unles Lotus set up their own team from scratch like Chapman did there will only ever be 1 Lotus. Brand names are not teams. with only williams and mclaren left i hate what has happened to f1 over the last 30 years.
