Mercedes and Ferrari refused to participate in F1's Netflix debut. However, both teams will both be a part of the second series.
The episodes follow various storylines rather than follow the season chronologically. A decision made by the showrunners.
The pit stop team shown at the beginning of each episode changes to whichever team is featured in that episode.
Max Verstappen, the Red Bull F1 Driver, does not appear in seasons 2, 3 and 4. He has stated in several interviews after Season 1 that he refused to appear again as his words were misused and the rivalries were exaggerated. He did ultimately return in Season 5.
The 10-part series was made by executive producer James Gay-Rees, who was behind the biopic documentaries Senna and Amy.
