DTS gives KMag's pole position literally two sentences in the very last episode. Bad show, not worth your time.

At least watch the Mercedes episode, just for the 40 minutes of Toto cracking into an increasingly unhinged salt elemental.

maybe earlier DTS seasons did it as well but the most recent one seems to only cover about 6 or 7 races. like the thing ends and it feels like they haven't touched half the season. then lol at "watch the next season to see the stuff we left out of this one"

Michael Andretti has had a several decades long chip on his shoulder about being on the outside of F1 looking in. Why he's shocked that he's come in, not understood the dynamics at play with adding a new team and then proceeded to run his mouth and that's been poorly received is beyond

Yeah the first 5 episodes all just go from preseason testing to Silverstone for the big teams, then 6-10 skip straight to Silly Season, the Red Bull Budget controversy, and a wet fart of a mention of Max winning the Driver's Championship. Watched that crash way too many times and THEN THEY NEVER EVEN SHOW ANY FOOTAGE OF ZHOU! No interviews, no candid shots, nothing. Other than the crash they completely ignored Alpha Romeo (along with Williams and Aston Martin.) The complete absence of three of the teams makes me wonder if they fully pulled out of cooperating with the show.

Didn’t they interview him right after the crash? Episode 4 maybe? Just finished episode 6. At least DTS is better than all of last F1 season.

They did show Zhou (very) briefly in the interview chair in ep 2 after the crash. Nothing much of interest happened with those teams ultimately, probably DeVries drive is about it otherwise. If Vettel had gotten on the podium or something then maybe but otherwise his career just dribbled to an end and it wasn't a very notable departure. Also it's just very dependent on which teams they were embedded with on what weekends, who they chose to visit and what they can pull from that and stitch together a narrative from after the fact. Element of luck there but they just spend more time with the bigger teams anyway. Max's win was a wet fart forgone conclusion that no one even realized had happened so you know.

Fundamentally DTS is built on narratives and the narratives are built on access.

Showing Otmar completely ballsing up the Alpine contract negotiations was pretty good at least. Ah yes, admit out loud that you pay your drivers less than anybody else and then wonder why they all look for greener pastures, excellent strategy ![]() Bloody Pom fucked around with this message at 00:18 on Feb 27, 2023 |

They basically have no reason for not going with a veteran where they are in the midfield. McLaren is in exactly the same position.

Rhopunzel posted:much like his stint as a driver then I'm pretty sure his stint as a driver is why he has such a chip on his shoulder over the whole thing. I'm all for more teams on the grid, especially one that isn't just a B-team buying poo poo from a larger team which seems like it's a sizeable chunk of the grid at this point. But the approach was completely wrong on Andretti's part and he's going to get nowhere because of that. ethanol posted:the dilution fee is extremely dumb tho It's extremely dumb but the teams (especially the factory/large ones) have a stranglehold over the direction of the sport and F1 is going to continue producing poo poo to mediocre seasons until that changes. The whole entry fee thing is just one of like a million broken things that don't get fixed because the teams have a say in the rules.

This B-Team bullshit is so loving bad you may as well just go the MotoGP route at this point and let the other teams buy a Red Bull, a Mercedes or a Ferrari and call it a day. They're still not going to be winning championships but they can at least win the odd race and its not a total loving farce.

Toto’s childish meltdown in the team principal meeting was worth the rest of DTS being absolute poo poo. Merc is looking equally garbo this year as well so fingers crossed he has a very Austrian heart attack.
