You don’t bite the hand that feeds you, it’s a proverb that often applies to Formula 1, to any sport in the world. The pilots deserve such attention and have also gotten bigger / bigger over the series. Daniel Ricciardo was able to benefit from Drive to survive and his words were smoother. Something that will no doubt also be due to the fact that the Australian had a connection with Netflix at least in the first few seasons and also had his “own” episode every year.
“We’ve all experienced the effect it has had on the sport, it really developed here in the United States. In Europe maybe a little less, but you also grow there with Formula 1, “said Ricciardo.” Of course sometimes you want a little space and privacy and then you can tell them. Everything has gone well for me, I think Max and I just have a different relationship with them, ”the Australian concluded with a smile.

At first I didn’t like it that much, I didn’t think it was that important. And yes, they create drama but that’s how they sell the sport. It’s a spectacle, in the end it’s good for F1 and the fans. “
Esteban Ocon receives Netflix with open arms, he had previously said that the streaming service could have just played a role in his appointment to Renault and now Alpine. He was also closely followed this year during the French GP and of course no bad words about Netflix came out of his mouth today. “It’s such a big difference from before, Drive to Survive gives the viewer exclusive access. There is a larger audience who didn’t know much about F1 and who are now attracted to it. “
“Maybe it reminded them of robots, it was a repeat sport. But they haven’t seen the characters, I think it’s great to see now. Netflix did a lot for my career, I didn’t have a seat and people could see how desperate I was. It really helped my career.
