Recommended by my daughter, I watched the first and second seasons, very good-looking and thrilling F1 racing, the ups and downs of several major participating companies and 20 racing players. Before, I didn't know about F1. Through this documentary and the explanation of some racing rules by my husband and daughter, I slowly understood this sport. Most of the racers are very young, with L. Hamilton (Sir Lewis) still in his prime at 36 years old. Racing is definitely one of the video games that most teenagers have played since childhood. The real sense of speed in F1 must be envied and maddened by racing fans who can only experience speed in games. Many track simulations of racing players are also simulated on a similar game car. In the actual car, the visibility of the road is not too high, so they often have to memorize the design of the track and which corners are particularly challenging. As the race progresses, they must rely on the engineers at the control center to keep track of the overall race status (e.g. which competitor is out in the car accident, where the competitor is currently standing, what is the speed distance of the other racer ahead of the racer, who is behind the racer And the possibility of overtaking, etc.) This is really a Team Sports.
Twenty racers in the documentary were interviewed about the sacrifices their families made to nurture them. Most of them come from very ordinary families, even those whose economic conditions are not very good. The training of racing players, like the training of many other sports, is very expensive. It is conceivable that the families of these players have paid and suffered hardships. These young people think of their families, and I believe their families are also very pleased.
Another great documentary series from Netflix. recommend!
