Lando Norris called out Netflix's 'Drive to Survive' for made-up F1 rivalries

In a YouTube video with Quadrant back in February 2023, McLaren driver Lando Norris reacted to some of his best moments in the 'Drive to Survive' series with other members of the channel.

In one of the clips from the series, Norris was involved in a collision with his former teammate, Daniel Ricciardo, at the 2021 F1 Bahrain GP. However, the team radio that was inserted on top of the video was not from the same race or moment. Norris laughed but also called out the showmakers for trying to make it look like there was a massive rivalry between the two drivers.

"They made it out like we are biggest enemies here. 'He forced me off', that was not even from this race! Look, he is not even near me!"

Netflix's Drive to Survive series might be fascinating to watch, but some of the rivalries and intense moments could feel overdramatized to some. Many drivers, including Lando Norris and Max Verstappen, have pointed it out on several occasions in the past.
