Netflix: Drive to Survive

I like the engineers who tell their drivers to “focus on the lights” at the start of a race. No ****, Sherlock! Where else are they going to focus?

It's just nervous chatter, it's not just drivers that feel the start of a race. It's a bonkers feeling for all. I guess pros can just switch on but as a rank amateur it's on another level of adrenaline all sense heightened dump of all the feels. Re-starts are similar, especially if from behind a pace car. Tension just builds, any release is welcome.

Completely different area, but research shows that giving surgeons checklists to tick off reduces errors; I expect it's a similar thing. There's a lot going on, outsource some of the concentration needed.

That’s probably what it is but it still sounds silly to me.

We’re up to the third episode and I’m quite enjoying it this year. Mostly.


He’s the part I don’t like. They should be using Brundle for that role.

Yeh, Brundle would be far less irritating. He'd actually know what he is talking about too.
 
One episode to go for us, and I've found it enjoyable as usual. All the usual criticisms apply, but I still find it has interesting insights and serves as an enjoyable warm up to the season beginning.

Probably why he's not on DtS.... ;)
 
The line in Season 6 Episode 2 of Driver to Survive!!!!!!!

Father Christmas, in the Horner Oxford House, to the Horner kids: "Has dad been good?". Well played, epically well played.
 
Kind of gotten into this. Do give it a tad annoying it comes out so late. It's ideal thing to watch in the downtime between seasons

I think Buxton is terrible because he has such an extreme but insincere seriousness. I know the show is all about the drama etc, but ultimately it's just a load of rich kids/families playing expensive go karts. He needs more of a sense of humour/a more light manner.

I couldn't believe the interviewer going after Fréd Vasseur right after the mess happened in Las Vegas free practise. Read the room guy. Move on!
