FIA still trying to convince both to fully participate I bet Lewis was gutted that he couldn't present himself in that show. Probably had some "A-List" celebs booked to hang out with him when the film crew came around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Tommy 12,624 Posted March 8, 2019 Moderator Share Posted March 8, 2019 Okay one episode into the Series. Is this a Danny Ricciardo documentary? If so, I am totally okay with it. Na joking, I guess they focus on someone else every episode. Bit over-dramatic with the sound effects and fake commentary, but a few nice behind the scene views. I'll definitely watch the whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning a race in a Toro Rosso, which his opponent, who always sat in a race winning car, surely wouldn't be capable of, and four world titles are not that bad.

Moderator Tommy 12,624 Posted March 8, 2019 Moderator Share Posted March 8, 2019 Lance Stroll managed to get a podium in a Williams, which I am sure a certain driver wouldn't be able to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, I knew I'd get you with Stroll Anyone who dishes out also must be able to take it, mate. Gotta learn that. Anyway, watched 2 episode of that Netflix documentary. Pretty decent to be honest. First episode focused on Ricciardo as the driver and Haas as a team, and the second episode was about the two spaniards Sainz and Alonso. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw the preview for the next episode, Alonso behind the scenes should be fun. Said to the Mrs that I'm not sure why there aren't interviews with Mercedes and Ferrari? Find don't film in their pit but what's wrong with an interview? Ferrari has always been very secretive and reclusive when it comes to media stuff. Only recently they've started posting a bit more on social media. Give them time to get accustomed to the real world Not sure about Mercedes. Maybe they're just cunts.

Subscriber nudge+ 15,330 Posted March 9, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted March 9, 2019 Both Ferrari and Mercedes wanted different terms to the rest of the teams and Netflix producers didn't feel comfortable with that. I can imagine that it's probably because both were in a championship battle so didn't want any additional distractions and were wary that unlimited access could be used to leak sensitive information; I mean they are all properly paranoid there... Or it was just a question of money and level of control. To be fair it's probably for the best though anyway as now we have more focus and insight into other teams instead of the usual Ferrari/Mercedes wankfest.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,670 Posted March 11, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted March 11, 2019 Really enjoying that Netflix series. Never thought I'd see the day F1 and the teams and drivers signed off on so many of these behind the scenes conversations going on film. Four episodes in, a lot of interesting stuff on the various Red Bull/Ricciardo/Verstappen/Renault developments. He splits opinion but I do have a lot of time for Christian Horner. While he clearly misread the Ricciardo situation I feel like he's one of the much more solid team bosses. Abiteboul is an interesting character as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting with Australian GP, one point will be awarded to the driver who achieved the fastest lap of the race and to the constructor whose car they were driving, providing that the lap time was achieved without incurring a penalty and the driver was in the top 10 positions of the final race classification.

Imagine you having a bad race, lingering around 12th with 8 laps left, no chance of getting any points. You could just pit=stop, new fresh wheels and grab an easy point.
