Statistics reveal that Formula One drivers spend a staggering three hundred hours being interviewed for every three hours they spend driving their cars. This intense scrutiny, largely driven by the popularity of Netflix’s “Drive to Survive,” has transformed the sport. The series, now in its seventh season, has not only expanded Formula One’s fanbase but also influenced how drivers interact with the media. Observations from the Australian Grand Prix indicate that top drivers like Fernando Alonso and Max Verstappen are more reserved, aware that their every word could be featured on the show. This shift towards caution has led to a noticeable change in the series’ content, with fewer candid moments as drivers enter “PR mode” upon spotting a Netflix microphone.
