I heard Mercedes and Ferrari did not make their teams nor drivers available. So this series is about the rest. I don't wanna start another show that I'll be forced to binge watch, Trying to read a lot more lately.

I read Hobbo, David Hobbs' autobiography. It was much like his commentary. Entertaining and made me chuckle in places.

I just finished watching Formula 1- Drive to Survive- a 10 episode F1 documentary on Netflix based on the 2018 season. really insightful with excellent footage and interviews.
The over riding theme here is no matter the driver, they all have a deep obsession to win. The team, the principles, the crew all have a passion to win. Oh, yes- and they swear a lot.

I give this a 9/10.

Great series, and they really timed it's release well with the start of the 2019 season.

I even got the girlfriend hooked on the show, and now F1. I was at the Monaco and Montreal races last year and will be doing the British GP this year, along with Montreal again.

All of the Ricciardo talk of wanting to win a championship, then goes to Renault. I think he was banking on that Ferrari seat.

Season 2 is better in some ways. Some teams didn't hold back at all.

I didn't quite understand why they keep beating the dead horse that was Ricciardo going to Renault. That was the main subject in season 1, but they kept going on season 2.

Regardless, for me it's a much watch.
