Explained: New F1 TV “family drama series” will “blend fiction and real world”

report thꦡat “Formula 1 is getting into the scripted 🐷television business”.
Named ‘🍷One’, the show will be ꦯthe first officially sanctioned scripted series by F1.
Netflix’s ‘Drive To Surviv൩e’ has famously been a huge success for F1 - and is credited with increasing their popularity in the USA, in particular - but this new step represents a different route onto people’s screens.
Felicity Jones, an actress who has appeared in Star Wars and The Theory Of Everything, will star in and pr♓oduce the new show.
Formula 1 itself will also be ꧙involved as a producer.
The show will be about “the tumultuous as🐠cension of 🐼a fictitious family-owned Formula 1 team as it contends with fierce personalities, ever-changing rivals, and multi-million-dollar stakes.
“It will blend fiction with the 🍨real-world of F1.”
Jones said: “It is an h﷽onour to be part of this unique and exciting partnership with Formula 1.
“The high stakes world of F1 continually delivers edge-of-your-seat drama and to have the opportunit𝄹y to create a show based in this world is a thrilling prospect.”
Separately, F1 will hit movie screens when the film produced by Le🐈wis Hamilton and starring Brad Pitt is released.
