episode 1 season 1 and the first driver we get introduced to is daniel ricciardo the ‘car mechanic’ we watch his narrative throughout the season and there’s no denying it he is the main character. he’s the guy who introduced f1 to a whole host of people. people who never would’ve been interested in cars going around in circles but get drawn in by the personalities. and netflix knows this and there’s no bigger personality than that ‘good looking guy from australia’ with the big ass smile. we get introduced to him and then to his family and he offers us access and insight like not a lot of other drivers are used to doing at that point. we follow his highs and lows throughout the seasons and can’t help but root for him. he goes on to promote the sport on jimmy kimmel, the late show, the daily show, makes an appearance at the met gala. other than lewis, no one else has had that much reach and he's been one of the best ambassadors for the sport. his impact can't be quantified but a huge chunk of the sport's popularity stems from him. he showed that it was okay to have a laugh off track and still get the work done on it. and you're not gonna know what you've lost till it's gone.
