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.

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.
