Grand Prix Driver

Fab series that shows how too many suits result in poor performance. The insights to the management, team and drivers was fantastic. There needs to be more episodes and series

Can't wait for season 2. Seeing the inside how the engineering workshop looks is very cool

I follow the F1 racing scene casually. Meaning that i enjoy watching the races, but i am not deep into the material. So for me it was a quite entertaining look behind the scenes. I can understand that a die hard fan would be underwhelmed and give it a lower score.

The technology center in Woking - England, where the car is designed and built, is simply impressive and has a very clean look. I would work there, too :)

With only four episodes it is very easy to watch. If you liked the first one, then the rest is a nobrainer. I watched it in one sitting. I really appreciate, that it is NOT a PR Commercial from McLaren. You notice that they made a lot of mistakes during the build of the car and the executives adress them. You can feel the frustration of the drivers after the first tests on the track and the poor performance of the car.

If you're into sports documentaries give it a go!

Finally a series on one of my most beloved sports. Fascinating from the beginning till the end, it brings you behind the scenes of F1 and discover its highly entertaining world. Please Amazon make a 2nd season :)

I got the feeling that this was supposed to be a longer series that was going to celebrate a newly triumphant year for McLaren after two years of disaster. But when it didn't turn out that way they just cut it to four short episodes with a lot of hoopla about the launch. To have made this an effective series you'd need to show the letdown that followed, but the show just skates over that. In short, some bits for the F1 fan like me, but not enough, and not enough drama for the non-fan viewer, so really not very good.
