Make Yourself (un)Comfortable with F1

The 2021 season of F1 begins in Bahrain on Sunday. To draw in new fans and build upon the success of the Netflix series Drive To Survive, we didn’t want to show the obvious things you expect to see in an F1 trailer. Rather than showcasing the cars, we wanted to focus on the extreme emotional state those cars put people in.

We found amazing reactions from fans, drivers and pit crew to tease what people are missing out on if they don’t tune in on the 28th of March. Brilliantly edited by Joe Guest at Final Cut, this F1 film takes you places that other sports can’t.

So sit back, relax and Make Yourself Comfortable.
