Loving this so far

Oddly 2 eps missing from nefarious means, same as last season. Almost like they chase 2 eps for copyright? Enjoying it so far.

What’s the story there?

Racing Point and Alfa Romeo noticeably absent. Those must be the two episodes missing.

Just watched the williams ep (9 I think). Jesus. How is that woman still in a job?? Completely clueless and reactive. I read a piece by Windsor last year about how Frank chose the wrong kid as the son is a real racer. He was the guy in charge of the Williams historic racing stuff if you remember him from the episode of Speed. Windsor not very complementary of Claire, and you can see he has a point.

Claire spent Series 1 saying she wasn’t sure she if was fit for the job, a load of other self doubt and said she wanted to prove she could turn Williams around. Well she dug them in even more of a hole so surely she should resign.
I also read that Windsor piece, I reckon Frank picked Claire as he wanted to remain the ultimate puppet master and feared losing autonomy by giving it to his son and I don’t think he’s all there these days but still making the major decisions.

By all accounts they have hundreds of staff making their own gearbox which is shite, a development resource drain and just doesn’t work well with the engine. If they’re really struggling for money they could bin them, have a better mercedes gearbox for much less money and the car would be a crap load faster and better packaged because of it...

Haven't seen this series but looks interesting. Will have to give it a watch ahead of the season starting in a couple of weeks.

2 Episodes in and really good, I'm amazed they still got such good access again.

Funny to see the rather warm handshake/bump between Vettel and Webber at the Aus GP.

I’ve seen a few - s1e1 and now s2e1. It’s just a season recap - I haven’t seen anything I didn’t know already, maybe a few more sweary shots, but not much more than you see on the build up before each GP.

S2e2 has Gunther giving Grosjean and Magnussen a proper bollocking.

S1 Grosjean admitted visiting a psychologist because he’s a basket case
Don’t know why they keep renewing his contract...

Should get round to watching this after my mate spotted me in it.

Watched the whole thing, I like the wider insight into the people behind it and also how interconnected it all is.

Very excited for the season start!
