It is a series on Netflix on Formula One. They basically have cameras behind the scenes and interview and document one or two major team issues an episode. This is the third season (10 Episodes). It is not bad, although if you faithfully follow F1 it sometimes looks like a poorly organized recap. This season covers last year.
This is the stand out worst series. It's just not gripping me. The previous two series were really good viewing.
EDIT:
Am I right in thinking they only seemed to film at Austria, Silverstone, Spa, Monza, Mugello and the middle east?
I've been going through the series and there seems to be hell of a lot of footage from Austria and Silverstone cut in. Plenty of examples of reactions on/in the pits at Silverstone, and then cutting the Austria for the racetrack.

Well, IMDB rating for the whole series is 8.6 (out of 10). The ten episodes of season 1 are rated between 7.7 and 8.4. The ten episodes of season 2 are rated between 7.7 and 8.8. The ten episodes of season 3 are rated between 6.4 and 9.2.
Yea, I wasn't too impressed with the first four episodes. I liked Episode 5 better. But in general, I don't think it is as good as the previous two seasons.
I suspect they were also suffering from an inability to get camera crews out to all the sites.
P.S. Ratings breakdown by age:
Under 18: female 7.1, male 8.4
18-29: female: 8.8, male 8.7
30-44: female 8.7, male: 8.6
45+: female: 8.6, male 8.4
Female under 18's are upset that they're trying to make out there is a rivalry between Lando and Carlos, and that they didn't do a big focus on George Russell.

I'm in episode 5. First time I'm watching and jumped straight to this season. How do people enjoy this? I think the problem with it is that it's trying to attract the uninitiated but the unitiated still has a massive learning curve to understand any of this stuff. As for people like us, well, we already know it all so it feels more like a season recap than anything.

It's worked best doing the personal stories, Gasly especially in S2. Cyril and Horner winding each other up was good too. This series seems a bit less intriguing so far. Less access
The board equivalent of the Jody scheckter chicane. Fast but pointless

I never bothered with series 1 or 2 and feel the same. I watched series 3 episode 1,2,3 together and not bothered to watch any more. I cant see it happening either unless I am completely bored.
