Max Verstappen is keen to see how he is portrayed on the new series of Drive to Survive after ending his boycott of the Netflix documentary. F1
Verstappen has since relented, agreeing to the show’s traditional sit down interview for the 2022 season, but revealed he spoke with the producers before doing so and is hoping he will be “happy after watching” the new series which airs later this month.
“I spoke with them before I gave an interview with them,” he told media during Red Bull’s RB19 launch event in New York City. “I of course hope they understood my message and I also know that being a world champion, you have to be a part of something like that so I think I gave them like 30 minutes or an hour of interview.“I don’t know when I am going to watch it but I hope I will be happy after watching it.Despite being a fly-on-the-wall style documentary, the Netflix cameras have become an increasingly visible character within the paddock.
Following a high-tempered meeting between the team principals last season over porpoising, Toto Wolff was reported to have been irate, leading his Red Bull counterpart Christian Horner to suggest there had been an “element of theatre” due to the Netflix cameras also being in the room. Netflix do not release viewing figures for any of their programmes but given Drive to Survive has already been renewed for a fifth season and the format has now been copied for tennis, there is still strong reason to believe it is one of the streaming service’s most popular offerings.
