Formula 1: Drive to Survive

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
