While disappointing, might be a blessing.
As a tennis fan, I often prefer early round battles among the lower ranked players to a potentially one sided semi final or final.
Might be pleasant to ignore Hamilton's arrogance.

Thanks Sean. I just signed up for Netflix (again) so I can watch it. Sounds good.

I'm on episode 4 and I think it's a blessing that Mercedes and Ferrari didn't grant access as they would have sucked all the air out of the room and seeing the stuff from Renault and Force India and Williams is pretty fun.

We watched the first episode and really enjoyed it.
It was painful to rewatch Haas start off so strongly and then get eliminated from the opener by 2 loose wheels.

I've only watched the first 2 and I remember vividly how well HAAS was doing in that first race and then what happened to BOTH cars on their first pitstop... painful to watch it again as they were in very good point paying positions... Grosjean getting shade from other teams calling what lap he will spin was painful too.... Not a good start for HAAS last year, but a good finish... same with Max.

I know it would be tough to edit within a 2 week period, but if Netflix could shoot a race weekend, edit it and then air it before the next race, that would be the ultimate and give perspective to the current season rather than something that is a year old.

My wife made us watch most of the episodes today (not kidding, she's even more of an F1 fan than me). So far, so good. Lots of good backstory stuff.

"HAAS was doing in that first race and then what happened to BOTH cars on their first pitstop.."

At that level it can never happen .They even talked about it before the race as being a spot for possible issues because of a new crew. They should have been practicing this in there sleep . This is there main job not some weekend warrior.Who ever was in charged of pit crew should have been fired. 1 not good 2 not tolerable

I was too was appalled by this. Inexcusable for a team on a $140mil/yr budget. Maybe heads did roll but they didn't report that part in the show.

In the episode where Ocon is doing a sim, is he really driving with his eyes closed and nailing all of the inputs through the lap? If so, that's amazing.
