Netflix Set to Capture Ferrari F1’s Painful Italian Grand Prix for Drive to Survive 3

With the F1 season finally underway, it also means that Netflix will be back to work, documenting anything and everything that transpires in the paddock. The crew turned up at Monza to film, and since F1 is on Italian soil, who better to document than Scuderia Ferrari.

Unfortunately, the team has been going through a rough spot this season. Heading to the fastest circuit in Formula One in a car that is not as quick as its rivals, was always going to spell disaster.

Unfortunately for them, Netflix will be right there to film the slow-motion train-wreck that is Scuderia Ferrari.

The team has already confessed that they have given up hope of being competitive in 2020. In the Italian Grand Prix qualifying session, Charles Leclerc ended up 13th, with Sebastian Vettel languished down in 17th place.

It is truly uncharacteristic to see a Ferrari starting at the back of the pack unless it had a mechanical issue. Truthfully, the Ferrari team may not be looking forward to Season 3 of Formula 1: Drive to Survive.

Mercedes may sympathize with Scuderia Ferrari

Last year, the Mercedes team found itself in a similar position at the 2019 German Grand Prix. To make matters worse for them, the German giants were celebrating 125 years in motorsport. They even brought out a special one-off livery and new threads for the entire team.

Unfortunately, Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas endured a terrible race on the Silver Arrows’ home turf. Hamilton barely managed to scrape a handful of points, while Bottas crashed out. The Mercedes team managed to joke that they would be watching from ‘behind the couch’.

Suffice to say, when Netflix releases the Monza episode next year, the Ferrari team may borrow Mercedes to hide behind. In a way, it could be a blessing in disguise for F1 to host races without any spectators.

It would spare thousands of passionate Italian and Ferrari fans the heartbreak of seeing the team’s poor performance in their own backyard.
