Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen has declared he is ready to end his boycott of Netflix ’s successful docu-series Drive to Survive.
The Dutchman has criticised the show, which became a phenomenon and helped the sport break new ground in international markets like the United States, for the way protagonists were portrayed and rivalries fabricated. As a result, Verstappen refused to take part in interviews for the fourth season of the show, which was released in March.
His absence was particularly felt, as the show followed Verstappen’s explosive, intense and controversial battle with Lewis Hamilton for the 2021 world title. The Red Bull star ultimately emerged triumphant over the seven-time champion, securing the title on the last lap of the final race of the season in Abu Dhabi.
