Formule 1: Pilotes de leur destin

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.

The most dramatic season in F1 in years and Netflix screwed it up (somewhat). The false commentary throughout annoyed me then just pissed me off! False razzmatazz of what qualifying day is about was just nonsense. There was signs of the original insight you got from the first three brilliant seasons but this just became more and more of a promotional series for the FIA. Some episodes to the same high standards, others just staged and orchestrated.

Lando Norris has even complained on Twitter that the editing has painted incorrect pictures of him and Ricciardo by adding remarks made from one race into another to hype it up. That's just poor.

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.

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.

As a female who has never even held a drivers licence I doubt greatly that I am the F1's target market but for the 2019 that's going to change. This doco series puts a personality into the sport that I often just assumed was bland & full of thugs. Utterly fascinating, it also does (in my opinion) an excellent job of explaining the rivalries between the different company factions. Really hope there will be a season 2.
