Formel 1: Drive to Survive

Captures all the stuff just outside the headlines of the sport, and goes behind the scenes better than anyone before.

Especially interesting to get close to many of the "smaller" drivers, as most of us already know all there is to know about Hamilton, Vettel, etc.

If you like the NFL Network Gameday productions, you will like this as well - provided you like racing ofcourse :)

I'm a fan, after binge watching the first season.

As a F1 fan, it is very exciting to get a sneak peek behind the scenes, and see what happened in certain situations during last years season. The drivers and their teams show how they really feel about incidents on and off the track. We see the reactions on Haas F1 team, when both cars had to retire from very good positions in the first race of the season, because of errors during pitstops. We also get a better insight to why Daniel Ricciardo decided to sign with a different team for the 2019 season. This is just a few of the things I like about this documentary series, I recommend you watch it if you are a F1 fan.

Netflix's 'Drive to Survive' may not be respected as anything remarkable per se, yet I firmly believe this should be acknowledged as an incredibly helpful entryway for all the novices as well as the devoted supporters of the sport.

As a newbie myself, I can vouch for its capability to make sure you get well familiarized with the rules and regulations. Aside from its high octane moments; you also get a slew of fascinating insights in regards to all the major teams and their set of drivers. Although the specific pattern, in which they tend to illustrate those stuff gets a little bit predictable and repetitious; but they do just enough to uphold a certain degree of urgency and suspense.

Now, there were serious allegations regarding the usage of fabrication on multiple occasions.

I don't know why Netflix has done such a shady business here. I mean, they already got exclusive access to Formula 1, spent millions for the rights to portray all those behind the scene incidents but instead, they resorted to performing some phony stints. Was it necessary? I don't think so.

It's so good to watch a F1 show that isn't mainly focused on Mercedes and Ferrari. You really get to see what goes on inside the world of F1 and hear personal stories from the drivers and the teams. I'd recommend it to every fan of the sport.

I had never watched an F1 race before. Had no clue of the rules and points based system. Now I feel like I'm the biggest Formula 1 fan. Amazing cinematography. Best racing documentary ever made out there.
