Despite the series being quite popular, fans certainly have concerns they raised after this announcement. The major concern being the over dramatisation of the content that has been on rise for the past few seasons. This is what some of the fans of Netflix’s ‘Formula 1: Drive to Survive’ had to say about the same
Love the fact that DTS has brought new fans to the sport but hate that some fans, both old and new, can’t just enjoy it for what it is – a dramatisation of reality and NOT reality. Until people learn the difference it will continue to spawn toxicity amongst the fanbase.

I wish the series really show how f1 is.

Stop making “bad” and “good”.— Patrak (@NathPatrak) May 5, 2022
