Drive to Survive

Spudman_20000

A few episodes in. Is there an episode about Max, Red Bull and their record breaking season? If not, what a complete waste of time.

Yikes indeed. Let's hope it does not bite this year or at there next visit to the man with the big beard in the red suite they will have to say no he was very bad.

I didn't plan on watching this but the F1 void is too strong but I finished watching season 6. I'll throw my thoughts in a spoiler warning

Spoiler Warning

I completely get that they can't film everything but they left out some major things that happened, Checo shitshow of a season like wise with Sargeant,Verstappens dominance barely gets mention, ignored the whole Qatar weekenr with Hamilton hitting Russell, Piastri winning the sprint, stroll turning a tantrum, no mention of Hamilton and LeClerc getting disqualified at cota, no mention of Brazil at all with Checo and Alonso or Leclerc on the formation lap, They only seemed to show Mclaren doing badly , Hamiltons pole in Hungary, Sainz strategy with Norris wasn't shown, for some reason theres two Alpine episodes for a team nobody really cares about let's be honest. That's before you get to the editing and radio messages being in the wrong places

I've seen first 2 episodes and then Netflix cancelled my account because I don't happen to actually be in Turkey even though I'm paying Turkish rates. The pricks.

Nope, Max doesn't really participate in drive to survive ,

He was quoted before as saying

"They faked a few rivalries which they don't really exist. So I decided to not be a part of it and did not give any more interviews after that because then there is nothing you can show. I am not really a dramatic show kind of person, I just want facts and real things to happen."

Whoever signed off on this needs to have a talking to. Why the hell is the visor open on Max’s helmet…

Reminder: dts is not targeted at f1 fans. There will be people who discover who won the world championship from the show

Charlie-Bravo

Eh, no spoilers please FFS.

Can you spoil a show about something that has already happened?

AMKC

Yes you can.

The discussion is in the motorsports forum. It would be a reasonable expectation that readers of the thread would be familiar with the ins and outs of the most recent iteration of the flagship event of the sport. The thread is easily avoided. If you don’t want to know Verstappen won, don’t read it.

Oops…

I am utterly disappointed my sarcasm was missed. The fact that I put :PAC: at the bottom means some people are very green on Boards and don't remember the original emojis :p

Lol. I know that. But no one can know or hear it all and it's mostly the behind the scenes stuff that I would watch DTS for and the same with most here I would say. That can be spoiled.

I miss :pac:

Just watched the first 2 episodes of new series. It's enjoyable, more of the same really.

Will Buxton is Will Buxtoning hard though, what a dose.

AMKC

I have watched the first 5 episodes so far. Enough for one day. All very good. Nothing new really.

The more I watch the more I really dislike Lando and Zak,

dulpit

I found Lando didn't come off great, but I don't mind Zak.

Fred comes off great though.

They did Ollie Bearman dirty though, the only real visibility we get is him struggling in Brazil in the Haas, making it out as if that's all he did all season.

useless

this seasons DTS has copper fastened my view that Christian Horner is a risible human

CMOTDibbler

It's not a spoiler if it's something that isn't in it?

No mention of Russell getting Verstappen a grid penalty in Qatar and the fallout that ensued.

Charlie-Bravo

I watched the whole of the latest series…the amount of drama over the year they couldn't possibly include it all. The Brazil race wasn't the Brazil race and I think they left out the DQ for George in Spa.

I felt that the whole series was a McLaren and Red Bull series with a sprinkling of Merc and little about the other teams.

They spent an inordinate amount of time on Carlos Sainz and Ferrari got coverage as well, Charles Leclerc for example was well covered.

Charlie-Bravo

Sorry yes, and Ferrari/Sainz, and Claire Williams/Williams 😁

Anyhow, so half the grid was covered mainly!!

So nothing has changed since the first series!!

Really poor overall. Though I did enjoy Max Brazil race more than anything else after seeing how others were after the quali.
