I can completely understand Merc and Ferrari wanting to stay focused on their work and not worry about babysitting some camera crew around.

Plus after that clip of Grosjean where they clearly tried to portray him attacking a camera man (when in fact he was keeping him from bumping his head on a boom) I wouldn't trust this production to not try to paint me in a bad light for the sake of "drama".

Regardless, I'll still watch.

I wouldn't tell anyone not to, it's not a judgement about the quality of the documentary- rather the production's somewhat questionable public attitude and initial impressions from their trailer clips.

No worries, I'll watch it because it looks good. And like any media I consume I always assume there is "artistic licence" involved.

I’m watching it now and just had a chuckle.

Cyril Abiteboul just put massive shit on Red Bull, paraphrasing, “Red Bull is a drink, Renault are one of the largest car companies in the world”.

Take that Mr Horner

I’m quite enjoying it but I’m a massive F1 fan

Quite enjoyed the first exchange between Cyril and Horner after Ricciardo's decision... a few dashes of salt behind those one liners. lol

Feeling bad for Grosjean.

After he crashed out they would cut to other teams busting out laughing. (i.e. Mclaren, Racing Point, etc. etc.)

Too bad Renault has been making shit F1 motors for the past 4 years.

Pretty embarrassing when the fizzy drinks company outscores the world's largest car company by 300 points in the WCC.

If anything, all I saw was that Adrian Newey has still got it considering RB was strong at almost every race that wasn't primarily a power track.

Just finished the series. Loved it! Too bad Mercedes and Ferrari weren’t in it.

Kind of odd the way they made Perez out to be some sort of villain.

It was interesting how some of the drivers got portrayed.....I suspect some of them are quite the pains in the ass, ego and all and some seem quite immature, but then again I suspect they are.

And Guenther Steiner cracking on poor Romain Grosjean was difficult to watch. No qualms about kicking a dude when he’s down. It was funny, but brutal. Letting him keep his seat made up for it. I’d say Romain is on a pretty short leash though.
