2016 F1 world champion Nico Rosberg believes Netflix’s Drive to Survive would have been “horrible” and “a disaster” for him if it existed during his time in the sport.
Nico Rosberg believes that if the Drive to Survive documentary had been released during his championship-winning season in 2016, it would have been distracting and taken away from his focus. He thinks the documentary has been successful because it is like a reality TV show, with some team bosses and individuals being real and taking risks. Rosberg acknowledges that Formula 1 has seen a significant increase in viewership thanks to social media and Netflix, as well as the excitement of the new generation of fans. However, he believes that other series, like Extreme E, still need to find different ways to engage and grow their audience.
