The first F1-sanctioned TV drama series is in development, and it sounds a lot like another non-sanctioned project in the works at a rival studio. Felicity Jones is attached to star in and executive produce the drama, which has landed at Amazon MGM Studios for Prime Video, Variety reports. Much like Brad Pitt's and Jerry Bruckheimer's creatively-titled upcoming movie "F1", the series in development is called "One." The premise of the show bears an uncanny resemblance to Daniel Ricciardo's also-in-development Hulu comedy, which has its pilot in testing.
Jones' series, which doesn't have a confirmed official order, will focus on a "failing family-owned racing team, led by Jones’ character, as it contends with fierce personalities, ever-changing rivals and multi-million-dollar stakes," according to Variety. Ricciardo's comedy series, "Downforce," centers on an heiress to a racing dynasty after she is thrust back into the family business and forced to make difficult choices about legacy and the team's success.
