I am guessing it's brand new, the BBC website doesn't show any previous
transmission dates. It's a four part documentary.

It's hosted by / and some interviews by US film actor Keanu Reeves, but
it's done very well, no stupid questions (so far), and he does not
present it like a fan boy, but not like a stiff interviewer either.

As a documentary, it's very interesting to see the Brawn GP story, even
if you didn't support the team at the time (I didn't).

It's worth a watch if you can catch it,

 I think it's the first time on broadcast channels. It was made by
Disney+ last year, so I guess they're starting to sell their original
content on.

Yep. I've known about it for a while now but haven't watched it as I figured 'just another US F1 propaganda thing' using Reeves' face and voice to get viewers. I might re-visit that decision, it's rated well on IMDB ('though IMDB ratings are largely US-centric). <https://www.imdb.com/title/tt22297946/>
