ONTD Original: During the Formula 1 Season, Watch Some of These Racing Documentaries

[beysactingcoach]

Have you gotten on the right side of history and watched Netflix's best messy/shady show Formula 1: Drive to Survive? Are you tired of OP talking about it? Well, she doesn't give a fuck and also she thinks it would behoove to watch this show. However, OP has decided to compile some documentaries you can watch about some stars of motorsport. Even if

I distinctly remember being a freshman in college and going to Michigan with my family for a small vacation. We were in this little motel and a Senna documentary came on and I was immediately enthralled. I binged all these F1 docs about the engineering aspect and was sold. The main reason I got into F1 was because of him and so glad I was able to start watching just as a black man dominated the sport.

I watched season 3 and then rewatched parts of season 2. drive to survive did it's job. season 3 was the best so far (except for the lack of verstappen). bahrain was a good race and i'm excited for imola.

OP, thank you for posting this! I recently binged all the seasons of Drive to Survive so I am here for all these documentaries.

Is F1 becoming a part of ONTD right now?

[beysactingcoach]

Yes my broke non traveling ass is living vicariously through their season. Let me have this!

But honestly, the show really got me into the sport. I’m a bit more fascinated by the physics and engineering of their cars though

I'm trying to get my dad into it: if he can get through it without sleeping, we'll use it as a bonding exercise.

Yeah Kpop and BTS is so 2020. F1 can be the thing people bitch about in 2021.

Can someone explain safety cars to me? Never actually watched a race but I hear them mention a lot.

Safety cars come out on track when there is a major incident like a crash where there is a car or debris in a dangerous part of the track which would require more than a couple of laps to clear

[teacupkittens]

So the cars just follow the safety car around the track until the crash/ debris is cleared?

[shouldermaine]

Yep!
No overtaking allowed, but you can pit, so there are sometimes changes in position.
