Drive to Revive
Formula 1 has reached a whole new audience because of the Netflix treatment in Drive to Survive.
And I am happy about that - no question.
These new fans are now discovering the best kept secret about F1.
It is boring. It will put you to sleep.
The races are processions - and you already know the winner.
We saw it with Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton and now with Max Verstappen.
I have been watching F1 since 1996 and this has been true since then - A big rule change of any kind is followed by a dynastic performance by one team.
There will be an odd exception here and there - but the fight to be top dog is decided outside the racetrack.
The team that wrangles the new rules the best - will have a champion.
So, what keeps me interested? It’s the technology. It’s always been about technology.
From the aerodynamics to chassis dynamics to electronics to race strategies. F1 is at the pinnacle for each one of these. No expense spared - so far.
The budget cap might have a small impact on it, but F1 will still remain at the bleeding edge of automotive technology.
If you find your jollies in the geekery of engineering, F1 is definitely for you. Siempre.
