Netflix: Drive to Survive

[Stumble Bum]

Out today on Netflix.

Anyone else been waiting for this bad boy to come out. About to start watching it now. There are 10 episodes out and it looks pretty epic.

I haven't watched and prefer to watch F1 documentaries from the past.

I still believe danger is inherit in the sport.

Going back to the nineties, F1 was considered safe and whilst heralded now - When Senna signed for Williams, everyone thought like Prost '93 it was going to be a done deal - no one foresaw the Benetton/Schumacher combination.

With the aggressive driving, now applauded, its only a matter of time - the sport bites.

Not sure what your point is?

I've watched 5 episodes so far. It's brilliant, gives a really good behind the scenes perspective. Loved the tension between Cyril and Horner over the Renault engines and Ricciardo's move.

Season 2 trailer. Hass team are going to be great viewing again this year. Can't wait, starts Feb 28th.

Episode 1 done. Guenther Steiner is tv gold.

Spoiler: Williams

The Williams sage is really interesting, Paddy Lowe carried the can but it is clear from the episode that Claire Williams had almost no grasp of what was going on around her.

Spoiler: Williams

You can see why Williams are doing so badly, she's in the job because she's the daughter and not because she's the best team principal for the job. The Paddy Lowe scenes are awkward, clearly he has zero communication skills and needs someone to take charge/ownership because Claire Williams doesn't have a clue what's going on. He had to go.

Just watched this, can't help but feel the tone towards Gasly engineered his downfall. It was almost like they wanted him to fail their standards. Feel for him, even though results are results at the end of the day. There is an element of the show playing with the timeline of things. Sure they didn't spam the radio like it seemed.

ButI do feel Red Bull using Max as a yard stick is a little unfair to a young and new driver. Albon did better but this rutheless approach will cost them a constructors championship if they're ever in the position because a number two will never get the chance to settle in and deliver at that level unless the bring in some experience.

Gasly was just really that bad.

Max is obviously amazing, but Gasly wasn't even close. In comparison Max did this,

3rd, 4th, 4th, 4th, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 4th, 1st, 5th, 1st, 2nd

And Gasly did:

11th, 8th, 6th, 17th, 6th, 5th, 8th, 10th, 7th, 4th, 14th, 6th.

He had to go.

Official Trailer.

 

[Stumble Bum]

Season 3 is out NOW!

The slow mo shots of Grosjean in that fireball is something else. He certainly dodged a bullet that day.

Official Trailer - Series 4.

 

[Stumble Bum]

Independent: "F1 fans will be gripped by a series still way ahead of the pack". Five stars.

Feek: "Not the best review"

@Feek are you drunk or just bitter?

 

[Stumble Bum]

Did either of you actually read the review itself or just the headline? I didn't even look at the number of stars or that headline, just saying what I took away from the review itself. To me, it didn't seem very positive.

Yes, it's a very positive review.

 

[Stumble Bum]

They even reversed the Tabac corner at Monaco!? They have no shame about changing or even making things up! This is not a show for the serious fan and, it seems, only gotten worse with each season. As Max said, they make up Drama when really they don’t need to.

Christ, it was only so that the shots had a continual flow. No-one would notice whilst watching the trailer and you only know about it because you read about it online. Faux rage.

 

[Stumble Bum]

This is OUT NOW!

Let's gooo!!!

 

[Stumble Bum]

I never realised Yuki Tsunoda had such a potty mouth

 

[Stumble Bum]

Season 5 is back on the 24th Feb. good to see Max is onboard this season too.

 

[Stumble Bum]

I didn't watch it last season and I won't watch it this season. Too many false narratives and while slickly produced and directed they have a habit of picking the easy option. Last season for example, not a thing about Raikonnen retiring after years and years and being Ferrari's last WDC. They just miss far too consistently. I predict some of the major events last season like the vehicle on track in Japan won't even be mentioned and they will fawn over Verstappen like adoring fan girls and you8 won't hear anything bad said about him or his driving at all. Likely one of the demands or RBR for taking part.

Quite a lot of posts from you hating on dts for someone that never watches it.

Bit weird.

This is out today for those who are interested.
