As per title.
The second series covering the 2019 season starts on Netfix 28th Feb :thumbsup:
 
From comments above I'm guessing you've not actually watched this series :idunno:
It's not a review of the year from a race point of view, rather a behind the scenes, warts and all documentary.
The unprecedented coverage looks at the inter team/driver rivalries and hostilities, team meetings and politics etc
Personally I found it fascinating. Particularly the open fight between Renault and Mclaren
It's certainly not as sterile and politically correct as portrayed on Sky etc on race day
 
I watched the first series and found it very interesting to see the sport from a different angle,and good to hear what some of the people involved actually feel and not just churning out the speaches their sponors and bosses want them to.
Definately worth a watch :thumbsup:
 
It’s a little over produced but I quite like it. If nothing else, for Guenther “f*&&@! s£&?!& w^}@$ Romain!!!” Steiner.
 
I liked how Red Bull (Christian Horny) and Renault (Cyril Aboutaball) were generally sociable face to face and then ranting behind the scenes.

...and Günther Steiner is a star.
 
Binge watched all 10 episodes of series 2 over the weekend with my son. Episode 2 (I think it was) covers HAAS and the coming together of the two cars. If you watched series 1 you know halarious that episode is going to be. Gwenther just brutal. Full on laugh out loud stuff. 😂😂😂
 
It's worth it simply for the swearing from Guenther alone :thumbsup:

Nice tribute to Anthoine Hubert in the Raging Bulls episode too :thumbsup:

We were at the other side of the track (Pouhon) when it happened, and just heard the cries of shock from other parts of the crowd and then saw the red flag and replays started on the big screens. Never seen as big an incident there in all my F1 watching...normally it's a couple of cars driving straight on into the barrier fully locked up.
 
gonna have to give this a go, quite enjoyed it last year, and its a nice warm up before the main starts again in 2 weeks time :)
 
Also binged it all in one day.

Annoying as now need to wait a year for the next season :headbang:

The Mercedes episode with the Passing of Niki Lauda was moving. A true legend.

Fair point I though it was a a review of the on track stuff. Which is not that good in F1 these days. The politics and back biting behind the scenes does sound more worth a watch. If I ever catch it I may even enjoy it. :)

:thumbsup: I think you will, you'll hear radio transmissions that would never ever be broadcast on race day :wink:
Like others have said, Guenther is a real star and says it like it is.
Although my favorite comment was from Christian Horner regarding the first GP of the season
'Melbourne is where everyone takes their pants down and you see what they have got!' :rofl:
