I mean they literally cut the footage of the last couple of laps to make it look like Norris didn‘t exist and only the Merc‘s were battling Sainz. That‘s why you always skip the race scenes in DTS and just watch the paddock and behind the scenes stuff which can be interesting.

[@rosek7114]

@Dyils The situation of Perez failing so hard under pressure and Max completely crushing him could've actually been a great storyline on the show. And it would've also given them the chance to highlight Max's amazing achievements in the process. So I don't really agree with you on this. Edit: they could've even tied Daniel in there with going to AT, being another factor of pressure for Checo.

I only got through like 6 or 7 episodes, but I can't believe they didn't say anything during the McLaren episode about Piastri getting pole and winning the sprint race in Qatar, or pretty much anything after Silverstone for them when they had a lot of good races at the end of the season. They basically just showed them being terrible for the first half of the season, then showed Silverstone with them finishing 2nd and 4th, and that's it.

[@youbetu18]

I feel like they follow teams for a bit and see what stories they get. They stopped following McLaren at that point of the season and therefore have no good unseen footage for Oscar’s time in the limelight. It’s speculation. I couldn’t believe it wasn’t part of it either.

[@JozeyGirl79]

Not talking about Qatar at all, whether it’s Max clinching the title, Oscar “winning” before Lando, the Mercedes colliding on lap 1 or the extreme heat conditions was an absolute travesty. For how often the “fighter pilot mentality” is brought up, not bringing up Ocon throwing up, Lance basically collapsing on an ambulance or Sargent retiring on his own was odd. Almost forgot. Ocon nearly lawnmower-ing people in the pitlane in Baku was a perfect opportunity to talk about safety.

⁠Not to mention that they forgot a lot of stuff. Especially Qatar and what happened with the Mercs, Oscar’s first W, and Max winning his 3rd WDC.

[@yourDecisi0n]

I would prefer them to build up stories throughout the season. The first episode: car launches, testing, Bahrain, where they would start to build the stories for each team. Depending on what’s happening, they should grab onto each story and tell it further until the end of the season. This would have a natural flow while filming, still following the team's journey along the way

[@tomas.lambert]

They kinda did thought. They took the biggest stories of the season and ordered them chronologically. Like 1st aston being good, McLaren struggling, and so on till the ferrari vs Mercedes fight at the end of the season

[@sirsancti5504]

I guess they still follow a team every two weeks, then mount everything overvthe knee.

[@randome.p.wvideos]

What I found hilarious was when they used onboard car footage (of the camera facing the driver) from Bahrain, in the last episode where they covered Ferrari’s and Merc’s championship battle in Abi Dhabi. What they basically did was jump from the very end of the season to the very start.

The best part was the f2 grid shot for Silverstone which was funny

[@AegrusYT]

While people might not like him, RocketPoweredMohawk showed that there was definite storyline to be made out of the RB year. The contrast between Perez's struggles and Verstappen's success is too staggering to not go into. Also, saying that one of the most successful seasons ever by a driver is not DTS episode worthy is a bit much. Like I get the point and agree that you don't want it to be a season recap, but that would be the case if were talking about something like the 2022 season where, yes, Verstappen was great, but not to the extent of winning a historic 19/22 races in a season.

[@Synur97]

I agree with Matt. It's good, when you love watching every bit of F1 content. But I personally hoped for more. My main issue with DTS is, that it has a great potentional, but o lot of this potentional is just wasted. For example I got really pissed of when race engineer said to a driver "gap 1.5 behind" and there's a rear wing camera of a car being like 0,4s behind, or there were some weird radios during quali. I mean.. I'm not a driver, but I don't think a race engineer talks to his driver every corner of a quali lap. A lot of things like that can really annoy F1 fans. They have all this footage, driver radios and all this amazing stuff, but they often ruin it by trying to overdramatize everything. 6.5/10, once again a lot of wasted potentional unfortunatelly.

[@abuhrman989]

Still can’t believe they didn’t do anything with Qatar or Oscar getting his first sprint win before lando got a win, Charles and Hamilton DQ, and the Monaco Quali. They showed Monaco in 3 different episodes and they didn’t even show the best quali of the season. They had the perfect opportunity with the Aston Martin episode

I agree with a lot of it and also talking about the Zak Brown / Lando golf situ. it might have been slightly scripted or performative but they both go golf together very regularly so it was nice to see that side of their relationship. I also didn't know how far their relationship goes that far back either!

[@vanamonde2]

Best moment when George and Lewis were talking about Netflix eavesdropping and George's having his mic on when he was on the toilet. Lewis's laugh!

[@SamanthaKavuma]

The wildest part of the editing for me was the diary cams of Charles talking about finally getting to the end of the season and they showed clips of Charles in the mountains… in the winter break BEFORE the start of the season 😂

Not having a feature episode of Oscar in one of the best rookie seasons in history is criminal.

[@jpk22265]

Watching DTS, I wasn't sure Max was going to win the championship🤔

[@billystanford275]

Lawrence clearly paid for EP 1, they tried to make lance look like a superhero. They still wanna try and make Norris an A-hole. where was Piastris Win in the sprint? Etc etc

Drive to survive mixed footage from previous races to make an incident seem more dramatic.

[@winapp22]

I think its nice, we see a lot more behind the scenes, even though some of it might be forced. But still get to see things we don’t see in the season

[@JWF111]

It’s kind of ridiculous how they just ignored Max for the whole season except for a 30 second clip in the last episode..

[@jasonhenry9440]

I mean they did the same with Lewis in the first season and no one complained😂😂😂

[@nielsdorhout058]

Because nobody wants to see lewis 😂

shits thats missing - fernando alonso - the entirety of brazil interlagos - oscar piastri's first win (sprint race) - alpine losing oscar piastri to mclaren (post trade feels) - carlos's strat for helping lando norris in SG - whole qatar race and the insane 42 degrees heat (+ lance stroll shoving his trainer) - max verstappen breaking records - sergio perez struggles - fk you max miami gp what was useless - we didnt need to know how richy rich AMR are that was already said in prev seasons - danica stewart - alpine in general lol

[@mv3380]

Danica Patrick. Yes she's useless.

[@maxx6282]

Half of this shit they've done before and they did the heat stuff with Singapore.

[@dimitrijensk2845]

I loved the focus on how Vowels is a huge data driven guy. Really displays how he thinks or views the sport.

[@colpul2103]

The story they missed that is kind of similar to Checo's struggles was Lance choking. The had the whole 'Lance diving in pain, what hero' but ignored Lance being a total failure the rest of the season. They had the whole 'Aston Martin v Mclaren for 4th place' and didn't even mention AM dropping to 5th because Lance was rubbish and it was literally Fernando v Mclaren. Other than Logan and Zhou you could have put any other driver in the second Aston seat and they'd have finished 4th easy. Lance was by far the biggest bust/under performer of the season. Is daddy Stroll such a hen that they were worried about putting his little boy in a bad light and making him mad?

[@Cidereater]

What I love is when you're reminded of specific developments during the season that you might have forgotten.

[@holapetunia001]

28:54 “spoilers of what?!?” This was so funny to me💗💗 Much love thoight!!

[@lydiatoy516]

I was definitely expecting a lot more Oscar. Astonishing rookie season, we know he’ll be around for a while so could have been a great story to follow from the start, and SPRINT WIN!! And he’s super popular with fans. Hopefully next season.

[@bousk123]

It’s like watching the DTS on the 1998 NBA season and not mentioning Michael Jordan at all until the final three minutes

[@joshuastanaland7099]

Fun Fact about Danica Patrick: She openly claims she is not a car person, she has made it clear she knows nothing about engines or car designs nor cares about them.

[@narcez5797]

Matt disliking alpine episode shows you how far the brits v french conflict goes

[@missashleymacmacmac]

[@teetle0]

They probably needed to swap one of the 2 alpine episodes with one on max and checo

[@henriquedaumas9934]

Red Bull probably didn't allow it though

[@katy4523]

I think it was perfectly fine. It gave me exactly what I was expecting. Would there be stories I would have included they didn't? Yep. But that's fine ETA: I think covering Perez's story would have been difficult because the most criticism was from his own team when they're having such a dominant year. It makes RBR seem ridiculous to casual fans. Plus i think they're saving it for the upcoming season

[@mdo]

Fred being pissed off at the entire F1 for the whole Vegas mess of a track was gold. I was surprised they put that in.

[@gavin1641]

I'm just about to watch s6 now. I felt very very deflated last year after watching s5 and they left it all the most exciting bits in that season. Thanks for the heads up with s6. I'm not expecting much from it but must get through it before next weekend - like a school project looming over me needing to get done so I can relax afterwards.

[@NoxTM]

The DRS strat from Carlos and the whole Qatar weekend are the 2 things i missed from this season of DTS. I don't really understand why they didn't include those, considering they were huge talking points.

[@arturocolin2292]

I haven't watched one episode of drive to survive since season four and by reading the comments, I realize I'm not missing out much.

[@Zzzlol94]

The "overtake available" thing is also nearly 1 to 1 translated in other languages in the subtitles, so they give no emphasis on what's actually being said. In Norwegian, it's literally translated to "you can now overtake". Only when the engineer says "overtake button is available" it makes sense what's meant in English as well as the subtitles. I had to explain this to my parents watching along and they had no idea it was referring to a button and not the engineer telling the driver that they can overtake now, like they couldn't try to before.
