Welcome to the (in part) Ricciardo fan-show. Where are Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel, Kimi Räikkönen in this? How is bashing some of these drivers, showing their downs, but not cheering them, showing their highs, an accurate documentary? It is not. You could argue if it is needed. You could argue if it is the aim of the show. All irrelevant. I miss the balance in this "show". It would have been fair to kick some of these drivers but also cheer them. Instead some you hardly ever see. Some are painted in a bad light and some are cheered. The relationship between Renault and Red Bull is also sometimes taken completely out of context. Don't get me wrong. I like the show and would recommend anyone to see it... but bare in mind that the creators had a very painted pair of glasses.

@alexvanniel The coverage just depended on how much unfettered access teams and drivers want to give to the producers and on how much money they ask, assuming the unfettered access is given.

@alexvanniel I agree with you 100%. Watching episode one, it felt like watching an advertisement for Ricciardo. If the rest of the season is like that, I'm out.

Different coverage in different episodes. Fortunately they seem to have made an exception for Kimi Räikkönen as he is the most boring and grumpy person on earth

@joggs_ my review was actually for the first season. This third season is more or less a recap of 2020 so we can watch the upcoming season while remembering what happened last year. I had hoped this 3rd season would be good but it lacks some depth.

@alexvanniel the creators ALWAYS have a very painted pair of glasses on any tv show. I used to think that documentary kind of tv shows would be strictly about the documented truth and facts but that's not true either. Truth in documentaries or any other type of tv show always have one interest: audience, tv share, money. And even when neither of those are factors, we always have the truth being told from the standing point and from the eyes of the creator. The same story can be told in millions of ways. For instance, you would maybe say that the recent F1 history is about the legendary driving skills of a driver called Lewis Halmilton. I, on the other hand, could say that the recent F1 history is all about a not-much-better-than-average driver landing on a team that was wise enough to invest all they had on the project on the wake of the new era of F1 tech rules back in 2013. That team became invincible and that driver has been smart enough to manipulate his team mates. As simple as that. So, the truth is always very subjective.

Excellent show for the fans of F1. If you already know some of the in&outs you will love this. It's been a long time since a camera could get this close to F1 teams. A bit stupid of Netflix to show it just one week ahead of the new season. One month ahead of the new season would make more sense.

I watch F1 since the good old Schumi days and find it unrealistic and overly dramatized. But still, very entertaining and recommended for anyone that wants to get into F1. You fokin wankers

Unpopular opinion: Not really a documentary, more like propaganda.

I am an huge fan of F1, I follow it since I am 2years old with my dad...

This show is nice, as it give you some inside that you don't see on race day, some more personality trait of team manager and drivers, or some background story that happened during the season.

But it's not for me, it's SO MUCH overly dramatic and everything is lines up to tell a story that is not exactly correct.
All the effort are put in the drama, there is near nothing about racing.

I love F1, so I watched it, but it's really a pain to watch

Season 1 review:
As a fan that follows every news related to F1 I was sceptical that this show can provide anything of interest to me.
I can happily say I was wrong. Concept of not just following the season and stories as they go along, but making episodes about different teams, rivalries and drivers really brings new perspective on the sport.
it speaks volumes that the show manages to intrigue people who aren't at all interested in racing or cars. F1 fans will find it a little bit over dramatic at times, but the fact stands that it's really nicely put together quality documentary.

I know you are trying to market F1 to an American audience, but you might want to tone it down on the sound effects. The over the top fake sounds don't happen it the race… at all. When a piece of carbon fibre wing hits the ground 30 feet from the camera it dose sot make a 'thud'.

Good visuals, silly sounds.

This show is a must watch! Really got me into the sport and I just cant get enough of it!
Can't wait for the 2020 season to be overdramatized; even though I watched it all live!

5/7 recommend.
