+
+A series about Formula, pretty close to [Drive to
+Survive](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8289930/?ref_=fn_al_tt_4), although the
+later focuses more on the pilots and this one focuses more on the team, the
+tech and the car -- and a bit on the driver.
+
+While more interesting than "Drive To Survive" by showing the whole aspect of a
+Formula 1 Team like a living organism, it falls short by looking at only one
+team: McLaren. There was a great potential to make more seasons, each season
+focusing on a different team and their fight in the year -- and the only team I
+can think of that would have a problem with someone showing what they do is
+Ferrari; all others would welcome some exposure.
+
+So, while interesting, it was killed too soon and not explored fully.
