Is there a good documentary on youtube/netflix/F1TV/whatever about the 2016 battle with Lewis and Nico that anyone would recommend? My wife has gotten interested in F1 recently and I think she'd like to watch something about that based on other things she's enjoyed a lot.

Floz has a good one called the silver war on YouTube but it's not narrated. Just cut together coverage of the races.

No but he has binned it into a wall during a drag race which is functionally the same thing.

You say that as if it is a bad thing. Can't wait for one of them (Max) to crash the kart and then beat up his competitor with his helmet like that one dude did a few years ago

i don't know if you are alluding to this, but Jos Verstappen famously beat up some amateur guy who beat him at karts one time

"The Silver War" it's a re-upload cause the original tends to get nuked.

That documentary is killing me because it’s widescreen and so they cropped off the top quarter of the onboards and it’s just grey track left.

(Or maybe that’s to stop copyright strikes, but do not like.)

Max was level on points going into the final race despite
- being punted out of one race by lewis
- getting half his car torn off in the next race by bottas
- pirelli QC costing him a win at Baku

Mind you it was more about Max driving a faultless season whilst Lewis spun himself off several times, than it was about RBR vs Merc.

Yeah lewis had a few stupid errors that cost him big. Brake magic in Baku being the one that stands out to me

I would say too the RBR/MB were dead even more or less even if Mercedes-Benz won the WCC. The RBR was slightly faster in qualifying trim, the MB better in races. I’d argue too the Honda had better drivability and didn’t have a significant power drop off as they aged, unlike the Mercedes-Benz motors seemed to suffer from.

I haven’t watched the Mick episode but it seems so revealing of people’s hearts—and therefore darkly funny—for them to take the inheritor of the mantle of one of the sport’s biggest icons, somebody who it was supposed to be a Big Deal to put into a car and who they were running heartwarming stories about at first, and then say “also now that you’re fired we’re going to let Netflix put out a whole episode of TV about how you’re a fuckup who sucks and your boss hates you, because it will attract slightly more viewers in new market segments.”

This happened to be the weekend I was with a bunch of college friends who had never watched a formula one race and they were all eager to get explanations of the sport as the race happened.

This whole sequence I just had to be like “I’ve never seen this and I have no idea what was going on.” Lol

Going off of memory, there was a crash that brought out a safety car after just a lap or two of intermediate tire running. The track was drying quickly and everyone knew that even despite the chaos in the pits, it would be better to change tires and take a pitlane start so you’d be on the right tires and not have to take a green flag pit stop.

Lewis was the only driver that didn’t do this and quickly got swallowed by the field and had to pit.

(It may have been going from wet>intermediate and not imternediate>dry, I forget)

^^ e: I could have sworn that the race hadn't even started yet

Track was wet and parts had some rain on it during the warmup and formation lap but to 19/20 of the drivers it looked like it was drying enough to start on slicks so they ate the penalty of starting from the pit to switch out.

Wasn’t it a standing restart? Or was this the actual race start lol
