Red Bull's Max Verstappen during practice for Formula One F1 at the Canadian Grand Prix, Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Montreal, Canada, on June 18, 2022.SILVERSTONE, England — Formula One world champion Max Verstappen says he is now ready to work with the Netflix docu-series Drive to Survive after previously shunning it for the way the protagonists were portrayed.
The latest season covered Verstappen's controversial and heated title battle with Mercedes rival and seven times world champion Lewis Hamilton. "I just sat together with them and I explained how I thought about it and what I thought went wrong in the past and it was actually a very good, quick little chat and we'll try to improve from there," he told reporters at the British Grand Prix."That's all I'm asking for. That's it just more realistic, at least from my side," he said.
"I hope, of course, that it's going to be good, because I also understand that Netflix really helped a lot for the popularity, especially in the US, and I don't mind playing a role in that but it needs to be good for both of us."
