Mar 04, 2023formula one, welcome back to my life! this first season of what i expect to be one of the best documentary series i watch was just iconic and just so fun to watch. my love for formula one is back, and i can't be more excited to go back to the races in the current season! i haven't watched an F1 season for maybe a decade, so watching the 2018 championship was just extraordinary and surprising. some well known names, some childhood idols and some new personal favorites made their appearances in this one, and i have to tell you i was over the moon to see them, not just on my screen, but a lot of them younger and in very different teams from where they are now. with the adrenaline of the races, the drama between drivers and team principals, and all the differences between teams that this sport has, as well as treasons and upcoming changes i hope to see in the future, this debut season delivered, and brought the tension, suspense and action that this one of a kind sport brings on a regular year basis! with daniel, max, carlos, romain, niko and kevin being the one with the main spotlight in these ten episodes we got a glimpse of this whole show and the things that go on behind the wheels. i can't wait to keep watching and obsessing more and more, but until then, au revoir drivers! SEE YOU IN 2019 while i watch some of you on 2023! definitely a highlight of my year for fucking sure :)))

Feb 28, 2023Grande desilusão. Guião muito desinteressante, com um mau fio condutor. Perdeu se muitas corridas interessantes em prol de constantes e repetitivas entrevistas. Foi talvez das épocas com mais corridas espectaculares e, não se vê em nenhum episódio. Momentos únicos e insólitos que se passaram mas não são mencionados. A adicionar a ausência de referências a algumas equipas ou acontecimentos como foi a ultima época do Vetel. Onde estão os duelos de Imola, de Austin, sa vitória da Mercedes...da pole do Magnusen (a esta só breve referência do que vai ser 2023). Não quiseram ser dramáticos mas falhaeam redondamente na reportagem

Jan 03, 2023While it heavily overdramatizes the sport, it acts as a more than fair memo of the most important aspects of the sport while highlighting notable events that took place within the season.

Dec 23, 2022It was the only and best way to get me hooked on F1, really amazing the way Netflix narrates a season of the most important races in the world, from a sporting perspective as well as personal of each driver or team member; it also makes a retrospective at certain times where it is necessary to explain a background to certain situations.

Sep 07, 2022absolutely great and a good way to get into f1
-
Apr 09, 2022One of the best docuseries of all time. Up there w the Last Dance
-
Apr 06, 2022Great first season. For those who want to understand F1 and for those who wants to see a review with a different angle.

Mar 30, 2022The best season is always the first it seems 👌
-
Feb 18, 2022It is cool because you are in the middle of the troubles of each team, and the environment that makes you feel while you are watching all the series in the 3 seasons is very emotional and passionated, is a very good season
