It's a shame that all this lovely artwork and data is trapped in this horrid presentation automation.
PS I am sure there are some examples but you get what I mean.
I’ve been getting into F1 this summer since the movie got my interest up.
No affiliation, no interest in F1, just basking in good work.
Finally, the v12 Ferrari engine sounds the best. Fight me.
I think even Hamilton agrees! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_I0R5yZ80rA
Here it is, after winning the championship at the hands of Alonso, “singing” we are the champions:
How to build a car by Adrian Newey
Total Competition by Ross Brawn
You will know more about the world of F1 than you need to
Bonus:
The Mechanic by Marc Priestley
Of course with 75 years of history you need to trim it down, but that's an interesting choice...
I've only recently gotten (back) into F1 but a lot of the technical stuff is really interesting to read about. Like the Williams FW14, which absolutely dominated for a season before its active suspension technology was banned: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Williams_FW14
Ground skirts, banned, and then Lotus 88 immediately after that also banned. McLaren's multiple brake pedals got banned after like one race?
Pretty sure if you go back to the 70s and earlier there's a long list of banned tech.
It is honestly bad practice that Chrome does not provide proper user-level control over autoplay anymore. This encourages lazy design patterns where autoplay is assumed as default behavior and accessibility or user preference gets ignored.
That said, Firefox could improve too. At least show a play button, a poster frame, or something to indicate there is a video element there. Right now it just looks broken. Both browser vendors and designers need to do better.
4 consecutive world championships. Most wins in single season ever in history.
Though no one probably got to the end due to the horrible UI of that page.
He was on track to easily surpass Prost in titles. 3 vs 4.
Maybe give it another try? I'm on Safari as well.
Sucks that you even have to consider this though.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Is this causation or correlation ? Should your comment have a "in the US" asterisk? The series premiered in 2019 and F1 still had global audience drops in 2020 and 2021 (TV, so covid isn't solely to blame). Meanwhile, F1 audiences is now growing while DTS viewership is dropping [1].
> Netflix have tried to replicate it for other sports but, I believe, without the same success.
Maybe because F1 has long been one of the most popular worldwide sports and DTS wasn't actually driving the increase. The cumulative DTS viewership is in the single digit (edit: mid double digit million, actually) millions. Global F1 viewership is in the high three digit millions and the increase in viewership from 2020 to 2024 is in the hundred million range.

I’ve been catching up by binging a lot of content that was recommended to me. The movie Rush (2013) was great. Brawn on Hulu was a fantastic story. Currently shopping for some vintage gear from them.
Watching a little Drive to Survive on Netflix too.
