The jokes were flying. Very appropriately, the fans mocked the fact that Red Bull goes into each season with renewed expectations, only managing to deceive us in the end.

On the other hand, episode six left our eyes wet. It was a Pierre Gasly arc, which focussed on his extreme highs and lows in F1, from the death of his close friend Hubert in 2019 to his maiden victory in Monza last season.

Even if it was an exhilarating experience, it did not escape the criticism of some fans. The Netflix crew failed to cover arguably the best race of last season, Turkish GP.
Not only this Grand Prix but also the Sakhir GP, which had dramatic moments like George Russell‘s rollercoaster Mercedes debut and an emotional maiden win for the outgoing Sergio Perez. Moreover, Nico Hulkenberg got a total of a second of screen time despite his heroics.
I know Drive to Survive only have 10 episodes to fill an entire season…
but not featuring the Turkish GP or George’s drive at Sakhir was a massive shame
