Red Bull F1 team boss gives take on the new season of Drive to Survive

As reported by Talk Sport, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has revealed that he has watched the first 4 episodes of the new season of the Netflix show. Horner has been an advocate for the impact of the Netflix show on bringing in new crowds.

“Obviously, I watch it. The latest season is just coming out, and I just had a preview of the first four episodes. This season is insane because of the rivalry between Lewis and Max.”

“It’s obviously a fly on the wall. You’ve got to remember they’re making a TV show as well. But for what it’s done for the sport, it’s phenomenal,” said Christian.

But it looks like the 2021 world champion Max Verstappen would not be featuring in the new season. The Red Bull driver mentioned he feels the show creates unnecessary drama in their depiction.

“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. 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,” said Verstappen.
