Formula 1: Drive to Survive

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 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.

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.

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.
