Lando Norris has publicly criticized the Netflix series 'Drive to Survive' for its falsely dramatic portrayal of Formula One drivers. Norris, who plays a significant role in the latest season depicting his rivalry with Max Verstappen, feels producers have manipulated footage, giving the false impression that he and Verstappen are at odds, despite their friendship. He emphasized the need for factual representation, arguing that the narrative should reflect reality rather than fabricated drama. His comments have drawn attention to ongoing concerns about the editing practices of the series, which has contributed to F1's growing popularity since its debut in 2019.
Before the first race of the season, Norris expressed dissatisfaction with how producers manipulated footage to suggest he and Verstappen were adversaries when they are actually good friends.
Norris criticized the show for adding fabricated drama, stating, 'They don't need to create. There's drama, they can just show the facts of the drama.'
The portrayal of his victory in Miami was inaccurately depicted in the series as a close contest, despite Norris winning comfortably.
He emphasized the need for the series to return to portraying reality: 'They need to come back to reality a bit more, it's drifted too far away.'
