Summary

Reviewers say 'Drive to Survive' is lauded for its engaging storytelling and high production values, successfully attracting new fans to Formula 1. However, it is criticized for fabricating narratives, using out-of-context quotes, and misrepresenting events. Some argue it lacks technical depth and accurate representation, with biased portrayals of drivers and teams. Despite these issues, many find the series compelling and a valuable introduction to the sport.

Not a f1 fan but loved this show!

I've never watched an f1 race and know nothing about the drivers or sport other than its for the rich and famous. I was so surprised at how much I REALLY liked this series. Getting to know the drivers, cars, dirty details, everything. It is so well done. Dont think ill be watching any f1 races in 2019 but will be expectantly waiting for season 2!

Very good production indeed

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.

A real insight

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.

Binge Worthy

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.

I watch f1 races now because of this show haha

I have never really cared for racing other than video games and being American most friends of mine that do like racing are nascar fans. Left turn driving only is boring but I randomly started this show on Netflix and I ended up binging it. It even made me look up f1 schedule on tv and since the first season I watch most races or at least record them. Well done show to see the back story of what's going on in the f1 world.

Trivia
Mercedes and Ferrari refused to participate in F1's Netflix debut. However, both teams will both be a part of the second series.

Goofs
In episodes where the race is at night (for example the Bahrain grand prix) The reflecting lights on the starting red lights are clearly shot during day, while the race is at night.
