But yes, the story is tragic etc. but Leclerc is a very likable and humble character anyway. Danny Ric is awesome, and of course he was perfect for Netflix. He's just entertaining. Anyway, one last word to Jules. This tribute is nice and touching Yes, they touched on this story as well. I do get the feeling from watching Netflix that Ferrari is like the Real Madrid/Barcelona of F1. The most legendary, iconic team out there. Mercedes, seems to be a current winner, but historically not AS relevant, so maybe like a Chelsea or Manchester City? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Mercedes has a huge racing history as well. but obviously Ferrari is the most prestigious, emotional and passionate team of F1 history.

He has become a bit of a Meme too, and people call him "Robottas" because of his behaviour Although it remains unclear whether he's a robot or not: https://streamable.com/ai496 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see it live, but my dad called me and told me that something horrible has happened, but he wasn't sure what exactly because the information leaked through slowly. I remember next race they prepared his car for the race as if nothing happened and as if he'd climb in any second. And then they just had it sitting in the garage as a tribute. I remember this. Very much emotional Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eco 3,008 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Just finished the Netflix series. Just in time for practice tonight for China. Absolutely brilliant that was. Definitely some drivers I like, and if I were to fully choose my driver based on this show, it would like be either Niko or Ricarrdo. Max is just a punk POS in the show. Nothing likable about him at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seemed likable at Red Bull at times when Ricciardo was his teammate, because Ric just carried Max with him during every media thing they had together. But he's an amazing driver, which really is the only thing that counts in numbers at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eco 3,008 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 So here in the States, we have Indy Car racing, which is car racing similar to F1. Is this related at all to F1, or just our bastardized version of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No circuits in Scandinavia capable of hosting an F1 race and I don't think there's enough interest from the public/governments/private companies to fund such an event. It's all about rally/rallycross there! No circuit in Egypt either as much as I'm aware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
