Lando Norris got his first win in Miami in 2024, but Max Verstappen's annoyed reactions were not from the Miami cooldown room but instead from the Dutch Grand Prix later that year ๐Ÿ‘€

The whole series is more or less fiction

And thatโ€™s why I stopped watching like 4 seasons ago. Itโ€™s just edited drama where there was none.

More infuriatingly, they skip over real drama in promotion of this fabricated bullshit

I've only watched half of season 7 so far, but it's felt better than last season to me. I still think season 1 was the best, and everything since then has been a downgrade.

You kind of have to take it for what it is, and not expect a true docu-series. It's not really targeted at people who watch every race and follow the media circus. Like sure, you get stuff like the inexplicable Russell episode where they failed to mention his DSQ in Spa, or the narrative that F1 results are determined by the mood of the driver more than anything else and Norris is some kind of party playboy throwing away his chances early last year (when in reality the car just wasn't good enough until Miami).

But you also get some actual behind the scenes footage and interview material that is interesting even for F1 fans, and the episodes detailing Sainz contract situation and Leclerc and Monaco for example were genuinely good I thought.

It was good to get me into F1, then I figured out what was true and what wasnโ€™t. Tried to watch more seasons and it just has such dissonance from reality. Itโ€™s a tool to pull in new fans.

This is why I never suggest it to people; itโ€™s rubbish, like the rest of Netflix.

I put it on the background while I was doing other stuff (coding or doomscrolling). I enjoyed the team principal segments but otherwise, the show isnโ€™t worthwhile. It was worth what I paid for it. ๐Ÿดโ€โ˜ ๏ธ

I feel DTS is good at getting fans into the sport so they can start recognizing the drivers as people. But then when they start to actually follow the sport they move on from the show

So it kinda is good to have some drama to keep people entertained to watch it

"Drive to Survive" is to F1 like WWE Professional Wrestling is to athletic competition.

DTS is the number one reason Max got booed at the O2
