Everything negative Max Verstappen has said about Netflix's F1 Drive to Survive
Verstappen on “fake rivalries”
Speaking at the 2021 United States Grand Prix, Verst🌠appen explained his initial view about why he doesn’t want to partake in the series.
“I u𝄹nderstand that it needs to be done to boost the ♈popularity in America. But from my side as a driver, I don’t like being part of it.”
“They faked a few rivalries which they don’t really exist,” he said. “So I decided to not be a part of it and did not give any more interviews after that because then there is nothing you can show. I am not really ♊a dramatic show kind of person, I just want facts and real things to happꦑen.”
“Probably in the Netflix show we will be. We one time bum🧸ped into each other walking, so probably that will be in there.”
Reference to the Kardashians
As part of his criti🌄cism of the series, Verstappen compared it to entertainment series ‘Keeping up with the Kardashians’.
"I'♔m sure we'll talk about it with Stefano [Domenicali]," Verstappen added. "But at🃏 the moment I'm not really interested to take part in it.
"It's also tak🍬ing more time when we're already doing so many things. I saw the benefit initially of course you get more popularity, but for me now I think you reach a stage where💮 its a bit more like 'Keeping up with the F1 world' if you know my reference.
"I think it shouldn't be like that. It's better just to make a season review by F1 itself, that's why nicer to look at. But that's my🦋 opinion. Nobody needs to share my opinion. I just don't like to be a part of it."
“They made Norris look like a dic-”
Verstappen expanded further on his view about fake rivalries, citing an example of how they portrayed 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lando Norris and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Daniel Ricciardo’s relationship at McLaren.
“For me personally, what I didn’t like and it’s not even about me, it was about Lando [Norris] and D💎aniel [Ricciardo], who I think are two great guys,” Verstappen explained.
“They’re really nice, first of all, and made 💟it look like Lando was a bit of a dic-, which he isn’t at all,” Verstappen said. “And again, you know, I think … I know Lando and I think many people know Lando as a f🍷unny guy, a great guy. He has a great character.
“And actu༒ally when you look at that episode, you really think who is this guy? What💮 the hell is going on?”
Unhappy with personal portrayal
The two-time world champion also expressed his frustration about how he was shown in the earlier seasཧons.
“When you are new to the sport and you’ve never seen a racing car or F1 c🧸ar in general, they don’t like him [Norris],” he said. “And why should that be?
“Because he is a great guy and you just immediately 🍎get a wrong picture of a person. And that’s exactly what I think happened to me in the beginning.
“I’m someone [that] when yo🐻u ruin it from the start, you don’t fix it. That’s it, you ruined it. So, tha♉t’s my stance and that’s how I’ll go forwards.”
Making his return for the new season
The 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Dri🍎ve t𝔍o Survive season 5 release date has been conꦍfirmed for February 24 an🍎d Verstappen is making a return.
Here’s why…
“I sat together with them and we talked about it and I said what I thought went wrong in the past,” he explaiꦍned.
“It was actually a very good quick little chat and we wil𝔍l try to improve from there and so you can have a bit more say in how you are going to be portrayed instead of giving an interview and not knowing what is going to be done with it and the way they put it into the ꦏshow.
“And that is all I’m asking for, realistically, at least from my side. I cannoꦑt control, 💎of course, what they do with other drivers but at least I want to be in control of what we are releasing and that is what we are going to do.
“I hope, of course, it is going tꦛo be good because I also understand that Netflix really helped for the popularity of F1 in the US and I don’t mind playing a role in 🐻that, but it needs to be good for both of us.”
