Last week’s Formula One Australian Grand Prix was a rollercoaster thrill ride from the warmup lap to the final moments, but can you imagine how hard this year will be for those unfortunate folks at Netflix? After all, the early seasons of Drive To Survive were justifiably lauded for the manner in which the streaming giant managed to unearth pearls of human interest in three generally drama-free and woefully processional F1 championships from 2018 to 2020. There was something poetic about the way in which Netflix ignored the inevitable Mercedes-and-Lewis-Hamilton laurels up front to tell the stories of bit players from Renault, Haas, and Force India. Not only was it brilliant television for people who knew nothing of the sport, but Drive To Survive offered even the most seasoned fans entertainment they weren’t getting from watching F1 as it happened. In a nutshell, Netflix made great seasons of television from lousy seasons of racing.
