I don't know when first started to watch Drive to Survive Verstappen gave off an arrogant vibe to me at times when Riccardo was still with Red Bull. He hadn't achieved anything up to that point but he did seem to me like I guy I would of been scrapping with the way he acted and his decision making on the Tracks. I hope Netflix responds to this claim by him and I can have my thoughts on it fully and I have the newest Season downloaded already just haven't gotten to it. I just might skip that Episode and see how I feel about it.

They used a clip from a different race to the one they were talking about in the episode. It's called doctoring footage

Yeah I read the Article and I don't know why they needed to do that considering how open and how much they do show behind the scenes of F1 during the Season just to add to what was going on. I've watched enough Reality Shows to know though how much added footage and audio is added at times to Scenes to create some chaos between people

Everyone has different impression of him. He does give off a arrogant attitude for some, myself included. However he's backed it up winning multiple world championships.

Lewis Hamilton rivalry was good as no one before max had been able to be him . Now he's got Lando Norris as a rivalry if the second half last season was anything to go off. I'm a fan of McLaren but they've been rubbish untill last season, so I'm hoping it continues. It's why I start watching again when Lewis was at McLaren with Fernando Alonso , there rivalry was my personal favourite.

 

[Tommy MBE]

It's doctored a lot . I stopped watching it for that reason.

It was a good shoot out for top ten places. My guy Lando is first. Max looked fast though, he's gonna be a real threat tomorrow.

 

[Kairi HoHo]

The Rain was not friendly during the Race that is for sure.

 

[Tommy MBE]

Was a good opening race. My guy Lando coming first was cool. Hopefully this continues and we finally get a World Champion this season but it's a long way to go and Max will be pissed he didn't win , he's going to come out firing next race.

 

[Kairi HoHo]

Holy shit what happened? A Year or so back we had that Scandal that was dropped but damn what is going on right now?

Still a huge blow to Red Bull the dude was one of the most successful guys with 8 Driver Titles and 6 Constructors Titles during his run. I wonder how Verstappen feels about this news?

 

[Kairi HoHo]

So happy for Lando Norris getting the monkey off and winning his first Championship. He's one of the nicest guys in Formula 1 they can never take this Championship away from you congrats.

 

[Tommy MBE]

Finally McClaren win the World Championship for the first time in years . Lando hopefully will be able to keep this up and it's a kick start back to a other golden era. Congrats to Lando.

Lewis Hamilton said he is throwing his phone I'm the bin and no one will be able to contact him. Wants time out the matrix for the winter.

No surprise really as he thought my going to Ferrari couid be his best option of winning an unprecedented 8th world championship. No one will get this close again as the drivers are practically all as good as each other . I'd love to see him do it but of he can't next season, think he might retire .

 

[Kairi HoHo]

The way he acted for Lando was so professional but for sure in the back his mind he knows if a couple of things would of went his way he would be the Champion this Season. It should be interesting what 2026 looks like especially with DRS being eliminated in 2026. Also McLaren is ending their relationship with Honda I believe so their Formula 1 Cars might be running with Mercedes Power Units. Which means Mercedes could be a major threat in 2026 and what happens with Ferrari who had one of the worst Seasons as a group.

 

[Tommy MBE]

When McLaren was with Mercedes, they were fantastic. So if they go back to Mercedes without DRS it might be the start of a boom period for the company.
