Documentary chronicling the achievements of the Formula One car designer, who gained fame for his innovative approach to the engineering of racing machines. Among his successes are the controversial Brabham BT46B, which used a fan to increase cornering speeds by sucking the vehicle closer to the track, and the McLaren MP4/4, which dominated the 1988 season, winning 15 of the 16 races. The programme also provides an insight into his work on road cars, from the record-breaking McLaren F1 to his current project the T25, which he believes is the way forward for both the design and manufacture of city cars

Could be an interesting watch.

I thought that was a brilliant programme. He is clearly a bit of a genius and the iStream looks to be a great - if slightly controversial - design.
