NetFlix Drive to Survive season 2 (2019)

[Deesee]

Well they have got some material so far this yr...

Bottas 2.0

Gasly v Red Bull

Sainz, Norris, and the rise of McLaren

Haas looking like a bunch of vankers

Max driving his socks off (before the summer)

Albon moving from TR to RB

Kvyat Redemption in Germany

Leclerc... (might need two episodes)

Merc in Germany/Ferrari at Monza

Seb v Sharl v Ferrari

Anything missed?

You've arguably covered it above, but I'm looking forward to more callback comedy in the form of Steiner reacting to Grosjean's mishaps - it almost makes me wonder if Netflix sub'd his 2020 contract!

Red Bull taking on The Hulk to spite Renault for taking Dan Ric. Cue more quips and brinkmanship between the doppelgängers Abiteboul and Horner.

Sorry, why a bunch of wkers?

The Hass / Rich Energy debacle might be worth a mention, but its not really about driving.. just a non-storey story.

Will be interesting to see what (excuses) Williams have got to say about their season.

Aside from the storey story, HAAS have had a few TV gold comedy moments this year.

As for Williams... I think there is a developing story to be told there, but I think they will be less open than last season. Big changes have to be being considered and I doubt they wish to present any of that in a Netflix docu.

I think you need to watch S1 to get the joke.

Arrr I remember now..

So it was a reference rather than an accusation - sorry.

What I would like to see in this series is exactly how Romain's manager got him a HASS seat again next season!!

I can imagine Horner will be made to look quite the villain with many many reassurances being made about Gasly staying, followed by an immediate cut to the announcement of his departure. Frankly the man is just doing his job, he couldn't announce what decisions were going to be made even if they had been made in advance... but it makes for stronger looking characters so I imagine that'll be played upon

Merc only allowing the cameras in for one race and that race being Germany is going to be absolute gold, I'm envisaging the F1 equivalent of a 45 minute version of this

Sorry Ive amended it now to vankers... if you have not watched it yet you must, and did Romain ever get an invite to dinner?

I really want to see Guenther's reaction to when RG spun in the pit lane at Silverstone!

They're still banging the 'money is no problem' drum despite doing at Caterham at the weekend and retiring a car to save parts. But when you have a team boss who'll only walk away when the team is sunk and she'll still claim she wasn't the problem what else is expected.

Lewis Hamilton is apparently trying to block them from showing the coverage of him from the German Grand Prix. He is blaming it on being ill and not wanting people to see him like that. I suspect it more to do with him acting like a spoilt child during the race. Apparently after his spin he asked the team to retire the car.

You heard that on the radio during the race, him asking to retire the car.

Ah - I didn’t realise that. Must have missed it during the race.

[Graveworm]

I am looking forward to this. I just re-watched last seasons as it's interesting to see how their decisions worked out.

[confucuis]

I'm looking forward to this as long as it leaves off any mention of Monaco when dealing with Leclerc. I've heard enough of that from Sky to last a life time!!!

They've been protecting the cars all season and it's beyond sad. Kubica has given some very frank interviews in Polish about orders to avoid kerbs and generally sacrifice speed to nurse the car. It's not really 'racing' is it..

I do hope that the Netflix producers push the Williams story and dig a little deeper. Obviously Williams might not be all that cooperative but I'm sure some of the other TP's have knowledge and opinions of the current Williams efforts and strategy.

I'd be inclined to agree with Kubica, until you see what Russell is doing with the same machinery. I don't buy the thoughts held by Polish fans that Williams are favouring Russell over Kubica either. He's done well to get back in to F1, but a decade away has done it's damage to his speed. If he was consistently a tenth or two off Russell then there'd be no problem, but he's often a second off the pace.

It'd also be interesting to see the Paddy Lowe thing being covered, if at all, in this series.
