‘You need to ignore it’ - Max Verstappen’s latest Drive to Survive irritation
Max Verstappen once again calls out Drive to Surv𒁏ive over the way he is portrayed in the pဣopular F1 Netflix series.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen has once again taken aim at the Netflix F1 documentary series Drive to Survive over the wa𝕴y he has been portrayed.
The source of Verstappen’s latest irritation stems from how he was made to look after the 2024 Miami Grand Prix, where McLaren’s168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lando Norris claimed his maiden F1 victory.
Norris capitalised on a well-timed safety car to beat Red Bull’s Verstap𝔉pꦿen to the win by 7.6 seconds.
Verstappen is portrayed as being unhappy after theℱ race after labelling his car a “disaster” over team rওadio.
The four-time world champion called th🐎is out during a recent Twitch stream.
"Apparently I was very upset after Miami," he said, laughing. "I literally had the best time ever Sunday n💙ight, so I don't know whꦆat I was upset about.”
Verstappen was asked abo𝓀ut his thoughts on season 7, which was released earlier this month, but he says he h🐓as purposely avoided watching the show.
“I’m not surprised. I didn’t watch it, just unfortunately you see these things pop up on X,” Verstꦗappen said ahead𒅌 of the Australian Grand Prix.
"But you just need to quic❀kly i꧋gnore it so it doesn’t come up again in your feed.”
Joining Verstappen in the FIA press conference on Thursday, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Doohan suggested he should block the clips, to which the reignin♉g world champi✨on responded: “Not blocked, if you ignore it then no one knows!”
What has Verstappen previously said?
Drive to Survive is famous for exaggerating F1 s🎃torylines but the series has helped boost the sport’s growth and popularity, particularly in the United States.
Despite its success, deb🔯ates have raged over whetheﷺr the series should focus on authenticity over entertainment.
Speaking about Drive to Survive back in 2023, Verstappen commented: “Of course, I understand when you create a show, there needs to be drama, it needs to be excitin🍌g.
“But I'm a guy who finds it als♓o very important that y♔ou're portrayed well, and that they do not start to copy comments on the different kinds of footage while it didn't happen like that.
“I had to explain it to them 🐻that that was my view. Oth꧂erwise, I didn't want to be part of it. But yes, they understood.
“Let's see, once it comes out, wh𒆙at they made of it. But I'm positive of course, because I know it's also very imp𝓀ortant for Formula 1.”
