Stefano Domenicali, President and CEO of F1 . says There are a lot of benefits to Netflix in tackling racing circus eventsBut he also understands the contestants’ critics. Furthermore, they have already consulted with the teams about this, and the makers of Netflix will be contacted with their concerns.
“There is no doubt that the Netflix project is having a very successful impact,” Domenicali told Italian Motorsport.com. “To pique the interest of a new audience, they used a tone that in some ways focused on portraying the story dramatically. This is an option, but one that needs to be understood. We also spoke about it with the teams this weekend in Bahrain.”
“Having a contestant not participating because they feel underrepresented is not a constructive situation. So dialogue is necessary to understand how it can be put into a format that feels appropriate as well. We will also be talking to Netflix because it is important that the story does not detach from reality, otherwise it will not make sense. This A topic we are working on with competitors. We need to make sure that a project that has generated a lot of interest has language that remains attractive, without distorting the image or the importance of the sport we live in.”
