Drive to Survive, Season 6, Part 5: All Bets Are Off

Mel & Jill Geek Out

The besties start this episode by ranking the F1 drivers, and honestly, the results are not surprising.

Episode 9 is our only real glance and Red Bull, but mostly focusing on Alpha Tauri (today known as RB Cash App). Unfortunately, just a few races after getting the set at Alpha Tauri, Danny’s in a crash, which was not his fault, and breaks his wrist and is out for 6 weeks. Enter Liam Lawson, who honestly does a great job. There’s a ton of rumors that they may not bring Danny back, but ultimately they do. It’s only a matter of time Liam!

Episode 10 is the big conclusion to the season, and ‘big’ is a very generous word. Most of the season is pretty lackluster at best thanks to Max’s dominance, so Netflix focus the episode on the shitshow that was the Las Vegas Grand Prix. Between track issues (poor Carlos), to a generally unexciting race, the third US race left a lot to be desired. But we jump to Abu Dhabi where honestly, nothing really happens. And they give Guenther a terrible send off.
