Anyone watching this? I must say, I grew up with a general disdain for racing as my exposure was mostly to NASCAR, which I find eminently boring.

But…whoa. This show is AMAZING. From building the drama between race teams and drivers, incredible real racing footage from the cockpits of these insane machines, all the wealth surrounding many of the venues and teams (Monaco, Abu Dhabi) it’s a really interesting look into a world I knew nothing about.

I HIGHLY recommend this show, even if you just have a passing interest in car racing like me. Completely sucked in.

If I have a passing interest, isn’t modern F1 the wrong series for me?

Only at Monaco.

Seriously, it sounds interesting. How long is it?

5

One season, ten episodes. I am already through it. I HIGHLY recommend it as a peek into this world I had previously known nothing about. It’s pretty awesome.

The Monaco episode is epic. The money, the yachts, all of the spectacle…it’s literally insane.

I had no idea young F1 stars were rock gods. It’s like soccer. A worldwide sport that’s largely ignored in the US in favor of Indy 500 and NASCAR.

Only if you can manage to pass someone.
