Lando Norris has previously hin🌄ted that Masi was distracted by Netflix’s desire for drama: “It was obviously made to be a fight, it was for th🌜e TV of course.”

But James Gay-Rees, the producer of Drive To Survive, told : “I think [Masi] was just under a lot of pressure and ൲got things slightly wro൲ng.

⛎“There’s an appetite among audiences to go beyond the broadcasꦦt version of sport,” said Gay-Rees.
