Max Verstappen again upset by season 7 of Drive to Survive
@DPPI
May 5th, Miami. Lando Norris wins his first Grand Prix in Formula 1 thanks to a little stroke of luck that propelled him into the lead when the safety car came out. Overjoyed, the Briton celebrated his victory and received congratulations from his runner-up, Max Verstappen. The pilot Red Bull is happy for his friend and does not seem bitter about his defeat, on the contrary. However, in season 7 of Drive to Survive, the Dutchman appears surprisingly upset in the cool room from Miami, before climbing onto the podium. Internet users quickly detected why: these images come from the Dutch Grand Prix, held three months later, where Max Verstappen was indeed less happy to have been disgusted on home soil by the McLaren No. 4, untouchable that weekend.
This crude editing is one of the reasons for the four-time world champion's distrust of Netflix. After boycotting several seasons, he's once again agreed to play the game—even if his appearances are fleeting—but this latest installment could change his mind once again.
Verstappen quickly saw the clip in question, which he commented on during a live broadcast: "Apparently I was really pissed off after Miami, even though I had the best night of the whole year. So I don't really know what I was pissed off about."
Verstappen and Piastri are not big fans of Drive to Survive
In Melbourne, the Dutchman returned to this controversial scene. “I'm not surprised. I didn't watch [the final season]. It's just a shame to see these things pop up on X, but you just have to ignore them quickly so they don't pop up in your feed again. No, I didn't block them, because they see it. If you ignore it, then nobody knows.” Verstappen assures.
Oscar piastri, present at his side at the press conference, did not give the impression of being a big fan of the show made in Netflix. "I haven't watched it, to be honest. I feel like I have a pretty good idea of what's going on in it, so I don't need to watch it again on TV." explains the Australian. "There are a lot of things in Drive to Survive that you never really know how they were put together."
Despite its resounding success in its first seasons, the series never gained traction with the pilots, who were not entirely convinced by the producers' tendency to rewrite history.

When you want more viewers, you have to reach the neophytes, those who are looking for something spectacular, in short, the hicks who should continue to watch football and not F1. Quantity rarely rhymes with quality. Even on the circuits, we see more and more clowns! From caviar to pigs! It's in the air, appearances take precedence over being. Few viewers of the series read Autohebdo or an equivalent! World of uneducated people!

This series is a sketch, damn, it's cool to watch but they do too much for next to nothing, it's not surprising that the fans are uneducated since everything is told in a scripted way.

Watched season 1 at my wife's request and I didn't discover anything I didn't already know! Since then, I've never seen the rest and I don't feel any lack. The comments on the last season don't encourage me to watch this Netflix product at all. I'm starting to wonder if this episode doesn't increase Verstappen's conviction that there is life after F1 and that this could one day make him decide to go and breathe elsewhere.
