Drive to Survive, that is. As with the last series, the race footage is superb. What I didn't like is how much time they spent on the negative, downer stories of the year. I get that they're trying to make the content match the title, and show the human-interest side of the sport, but at the end I felt like it was all about:
- Haas sucking - Hulk losing his seat - Gasly losing his seat - Williams sucking
Did like the long section on Albon, though.
They kind of beat those stories to death. And while I do really like Will Buxton, there are a lot of other commentators I wouldn't have minded hearing from.
All that said, the series wasn't really aimed at me, but more at attracting more casual sports fans to follow F1 specifically. And I do appreciate that F1 is trying to shed the Bernie-era aura of arrogance. Nice to have all these young drivers who don't come off as pricks, the way a lot of drivers used to.
