My recommendation for the class would be Formula 1: Drive to Survive on Netflix. you probably don’t know about the sport but you probably have heard about Nascar, but it’s the pinnacle of motorsports. It’s a competition where 20 drivers compete for the race win crossing the finish line first. Its a global sport where races are hosted in 21 countries across 5 continetns.There are 10 teams on the grid. Mercedes, Redbull, Ferrari, Racing Point, Renault, Alpha Tauri, Alfa Romeo, Mclaren, Williams, and Haas which is actually an American team. Formula 1 is also known as f1. It is the most popular auto racing sport in the world and is the highest level of single-seat car racing. F1 is contested in varying numbers of racing throughout a calendar year, and each race is known as a Grand Prix drivers will drive a specially designed racecar that is designed to go around a track in as fast a time as possible. there are three parts to any race. A Formula 1 Grand Prix takes place over the course of a one-weekend free practice session and qualifying and the race events are as follows. There are 3 free practice sessions, 2 are held early on a Friday FP2 is later on Friday. Practice is where drivers can test their cars on the racetrack. This is important how the car will run given the weather and environment and also get the driver used to the track. Saturday Host two seasons FP3 and qualifying. For qualifying to determine what position each driver starts in the race, each driver will complete laps of the track on their own. The fastest driver will start the race on the grid in the 1st position, the 2nd fastest in the 2nd position, 3rd fastest in the 3rd position until all drivers have an assigned position. and Sunday the Grand Prix race. once qualifying has determined the order where drivers start, the actual race is ussually held on a Sunday. Drivers will do one warm-up lap and then line up in the position that they will start as determined by qualifying once all 5 lights go out, the race begins drivers have to complete a predetermined number of laps, for the total race distance of about 305 km. Whoever crosses the line first after all laps have been completed wins the race. Drivers receive points 25 for the first, 18 for the second 15 for the third, then 12,10,8,6,4,2, and 1 for 10th place. For the driver with the most point at the end of the season wins the world championship. in the last decade, only two teams won the constructor’s championship and just three different drivers won a driver’s championship Red bull was Sebastian Vettel dominating from 2010-2013 with their design until the regulation change in 2014-2020 time and Mercedes unleashed their powerhouse power unit in overall unstoppable design with Lewis Hamilton shining for the rest of the decade only interrupted by his 2016 teammate Nico Rosberg. This season the 2021 season is an exciting battle between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen that could last until the season final in Abu Dhabi. Next season 2022 there will be a new car introduced so it an great opportunity for new eyes to the sport because there will be 23 races and one of them will be held in Miami, Florida. There are three seasons of DTS so there is enough to watch. Season 1 is based on the 2018 season. season 2, 2019 season 3 2020 season. Hope you guys enjoy!
Formula 1 always seem like a very underrated sporting event in the US.
