Opinions on 🔵Red Bull’s glaring omission in Season 6️⃣ of Netflix’s Drive to Survive can generally fall into two camps:

1️⃣ Did we really NEED Red Bull’s storyline to have a successful season of DTS, especially when there are so many other stories to share from the other teams?

2️⃣ Ignoring Red Bull as much as DTS did means failing to provide necessary context to fans who are being introduced to F1 for the first time, and are going to have NO idea what really happened on track, especially considering how historic Verstappen’s season was.

The answer is a bit of both.

Like Emily said, we didn’t need Season 6️⃣ to ALSO be the 🇳🇱Max Verstappen show, since we all lived through that live last year.

But on the other hand, Red Bull’s 🇲🇽Sergio Perez had a challenging season (despite ultimately managing to hang on to P2 in the championship in the end) that was fully relevant to the AlphaTauri/Daniel Ricciardo/Nyck de Vries/Liam Lawson/Yuki Tsunoda storyline that dominated more than half of season 6.

DTS could have easily shaved off 10 minutes from the Alpine coverage and another 10 from AlphaTauri (did we REALLY need a Nyck de Vries Monaco apartment tour?), and it still wouldn’t have overwhelmed the season with Red Bull’s accomplishments.

At the very least they should have shown Verstappen clinching the world title in Qatar.
