Formula One, what was once a very Euro-centric motorsport series, has been embracing an insane global outreach in recent years. Of course, major credits go to the fire-starter – Netflix’s series, Formula 1: Drive to Survive which then paved the much-desired way for Lewis Hamilton-guided Hollywood film (now under development). However, even before the hype around this mind-blowing revelation could die down, Daniel Ricciardo came up with a ground-breaking announcement.

The Honey Badger affirmed that he would be producing a TV series based on the pinnacle of motorsport. And while many assumed it would carry a similar flavor to the renowned show, DTS, Ricciardo offered a bit of clarity on such speculations with sneak peeks into his upcoming expedition.

Daniel Ricciardo makes exciting revelations about F1 series

Formula One could well be the next NASCAR of the United States, thanks to Liberty Media’s incredible groundwork ever since the start of their tenure. Now, Ricciardo has found the window of opportunity to glorify F1 even further with his TV series experiment. Hence, amidst blazing high excitement around the Australian latest revelation, here are some unheard details about the Hulu-backed show.

Ricciardo revealed that his TV series would cherish a bit of Hollywood flavor, hence, shunning the chances of witnessing the realistic side of F1. “Obviously I hope it’s a success, but it’s not intended to challenge any of those, whether it’s Lewis’s, whether it’s Drive to Survive,” he told RaceFans.

“I think it will be completely different. But if you said five other drivers have said they’re doing projects, honestly that would make me happy. Because we’re obviously trying to push the sport out into a bigger audience. It’s obviously fictional. But it’s going to stem from a reality of what F1 is like, but with a bit of Hollywood behind it.”
