F1: Drive to Survive has become an integral part of the life of every Formula 1 fan. However, last season has made people more and more skeptical of the documentaries. Some important storylines were left out, the drama was created on film where there is none in reality, dialogues sometimes feel script-like and there are a lot of swear words.

Is it really a good show then? Well there are a good number of members in the paddock who are sure to be very supportive of the series. Last but not least, Haas boss Günther Steiner and Ferrari team boss Mattia Binotto.
Steiner has become a cult figure in F1, and a large part of that he owes to the portrayal of his personality on the show. However, he claims that none of what he says is written in script, only that he is in the moment.

The German said: “I don’t know how much I’ll swear this year. I can’t be happy. I don’t plan it normally. As I’ve always said, I’m not an actor so I don’t get a script. “
Another person who defended the series was the Ferrari team boss. Instead, Binotto praised the series for getting people more interested in F1.

Every show has its fans and critics, and this series is no different. Ultimately, the show is about entertaining the audience. Even if some events are dramatized or exaggerated, there is no denying that it has helped F1 reach larger audiences. One piece of advice: don’t take everything that is shown as reality.
Even so, the show will go on for at least a few more years. Netflix has confirmed that they are working on Season 4 and Season 5. So rest assured that before another season of F1 racing begins, Netflix will continue to act as a fan hype builder.
