I think obviously Netflix had the biggest impact on that: Ferrari F1 driver

As reported by Planetf1, Ferrari F1 driver Carlos Sainz stated he did not like the Ferrari episode in season 3 of the show. But he also pointed out the massive impact of the series in bringing in new audiences.

“The season three episode about Ferrari is not so great, and I was relatively disappointed when I watched it because Ferrari is a lot cooler, a lot bigger, a lot better, than how it appears [in that episode],” said Sainz.

“I’ve certainly felt quite a bit of change in the sport’s following from social media with American fans. I think obviously Netflix had the biggest impact on that.

As a sport, we’ve always been relatively [behind] closed doors, and Netflix has allowed fans in America, and all over the world, to see the personalities of the drivers.” said the Ferrari driver.

Obviously, there are some flaws in the show as it dramatizes some elements of the sport which can be avoided. But despite its flaws, the show is a riveting watch and gives glimpses of the inner working of the sport to the fans. Fans cannot control their excitement to watch next season of the series based on the amazing 2021 season.
