Former F1 World Champion Jenson Button confirms that Disney+ will broadcast the new ‘Brawn: The $1.18 Formula 1 Team’ documentary

Jenson Button officially announces the Brawn GP 2009 season four-part documentary that includes Keanu Reeves and Ross Brawn.

Brawn GP came through the ruins of Honda Racing F1 Team’s withdrawal from the sport back in 2008. Ross Brawn bought the team from Honda for just $1.18.

It was a start of a new era for the team but with time running out. Brawn GP was actually a late entry to Formula One after lots of negotiations inside the garage.

Mercedes-Benz provided them with the engine while Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello were the two main drivers to lead the team.
