Max Verstappen was the great protagonist, together with Lewis Hamilton, of last season of Formula 1. The Dutch and the English competed race after race for the world champion crown, until the incredible season finale in Abu Dhabi which, between a thousand controversies, the young talent from Red Bull prevailed. In the traditional and very popular television series Drive to Survive, created by Netflix and published on the American content platform at the beginning of the following year, however, the presence of the new world champion was reduced to a minimum. In fact, Verstappen had chosen not to make himself available with Netflix for some interviews and ‘behind the scenes’ filming, judging incorrect and misleading the way the pilots’ statements appeared within the final product.
The absence from the ‘storyline’ of the orange star has disappointed many F1 fans and so, also given the increasingly prominent role that Verstappen is having in the Circus, the US company has tried to take cover. In fact, in recent times the Hasselt class of ’97 has admitted that there have been new contacts with Netflix and that the two sides have reached an agreement to return the former # 33 to appear in the Drive To Survive next season. Verstappen, however, has set specific conditions before ‘granting’ his presence. Precisely these conditions were revealed by the Red Bull driver himself, as reported by the site GPFans.
“I sat down with them and explained what I think and what went wrong in the past – said Verstappen – we will try to improve from there. I can have a little more say in how I’m going to be portrayed, instead of giving an interview and not knowing what’s going to be done with it or how they’re going to put it on the show. That’s all I’m asking: that it be more realistic, at least as far as I’m concerned. I can’t control what they do with the other riders, but I want to be in control of what I release and that’s what we’re going to do. I hope everything goes well – concluded the current leader of the world ranking – because I understand that Netflix has helped popularity a lot [della F1], especially in the US, and I don’t mind playing a part in that. But it must be good for both of us“.
