JEDDAH, March 25 — Formula One world champion Max Verstappen today slammed Netflix docu-series, accusing the show of an inaccurate portrayal of the sport’s protagonists, including McLaren’s Lando Norris.
The Dutchman has been vocal in his criticism of the show and did not take part in its fourth season, which premiered earlier this month and in large part covers his controversial and heated title battle with Mercedes rival Lewis Hamilton.“Then of course throughout the whole season they try to pick moments and fabricate it in a way and for me personally what I didn’t like, and it’s not even about me, it was about Lando and Daniel .
But it has drawn criticism for manufacturing rivalries between drivers and placing conversations and radio comments out of context. Verstappen’s comments referred to an episode from the show’s fourth season in which Norris says he doesn’t feel sympathy for his well-liked Australian team mate’s struggles with McLaren’s car.
F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali told selected media that he plans to talk to Netflix about keeping their narrative rooted in reality and would also open a dialogue with drivers, reportedVerstappen said he was happy to talk to the Italian but his stance was unlikely to change.“That’s it, you ruined it.” — Reuters
