I watch a tiny bit F1 from time to time after the Netflix series. Just to have something to follow. And the many rules and personalities make it engaging. It's also easier to get into than any other sport because you just need to know 20 athletes. That's it. It's fewer performers than players on a single soccer team. You can watch it and know everything about it right away. Tour de France in comparison has 170+ riders. Plus you have more action here too.
This is a great documentary for all people. Fans and outsiders alike. Keanu Reeves does such a spectacular job at interviewing people that this should be shown in journalist schools. Some of the best interviewing I have seen. He's hype and engaged and knows the details of the story making the participants respond in a way that makes structuring this documentary extremely easy for editors. The whole thing was clearly carefully planned out before the interviews took place and Keanu is extremely focused on making it the best thing it can be with clear and direct questions about what the people felt and what happened. Removing most F1 drama and rumors and sticking to the emotional rollercoaster it is. Plus we get a ton of F1 vs. The teams drama too with both sides being interviewed. Overall everyone comes out from this looking good. It's counter to Netflix Drive to Survive that made Max look like a cold monster to create a storyline. So much so that even people who disliked him called them out for it and he refused to take part in more seasons even though the show became a gigantic hit and made F1 into what it is today.
So the interviewing is some of the best I have ever seen. They have recordings of all the races. They interview most of the important people. They structure the story so that everything is clear yet the mystery remains and you don't know what will happen next. I frankly don't see anyone improving on this. And I have seen a ton of F1 and sports documentaries. Race documentaries are usually dull and slow. This turns it around and makes it personal. The excitement is created by the guy who interviews people and structures the story. Something I have been begging for in other such documentaries about single seasons. A host tying it all together. Yet for some reason most other documentaries avoid this and instead focus on some lousy interviews with no preparation from when the event took place. Awful.
Only thing lacking is details. It's extremely shallow with basically no tech details anywhere and you feel like you don't quite understand anything about this.
I frankly want Keanu to go over modern seasons too. I want to see all Max wins too. Please.
