If there is a series that has totally revived the interest of the general public for a discipline, it is Formula 1: Drivers of their destiny, which takes a behind-the-scenes look at the world’s biggest motor racing competition. In this successful documentary series, we’ve been following the stars of Formula 1 throughout the year for three seasons now. A true phenomenon, the work of Netflix has put a hell of a spotlight on a competition that has been running out of steam for a few years.
Made from images shot throughout the year in the four corners of the world, the series looks back on the outstanding moments as well as the rivalries between pilots. And there is one who does not seem to appreciate at all the editing offered by Netflix to its viewers. Indeed, as he just announced in an interview with Associated Press, Max Verstappen has decided not to appear in the fourth season which is currently filming. “They fake a lot of things. They invented rivalries that don’t really exist. So I decided not to be part of it, and I didn’t give an interview anymore because there is actually nothing to show “, he says.
I’m not really the drama type, I just want facts and real things
A blow for Netflix since its rivalry in the championship with Lewis Hamilton makes the competition particularly indecisive and panting. Not really interested in this aspect of his sport, the 24-year-old Dutchman prefers to stay focused on his career. “I’m not really the drama type, I just want facts and real things“, he insists.
