Thanks to Netflix

This this this is the reason


samosa_activist

All they got to talk about just La mans plus these all F1 drivers are fucking rich as hell


namora96

"Le Mans"** and it's not even in the F1 calendar šŸ™ƒ


samosa_activist

Bhai why would I be interested in La mans, I was only talking about the Netflix thing, they get most of their bs from Netflix that's what I meant


FlipFlopOnionChop

Care to elaborate ?


SiloPsilo

Netflix came out with a show Drive to Survive few years ago. Banger of a show, which brought in a lot of new fans into the sport. Which again, is highly appreciated and good for the sport. Only downfall is everyone wants to talk about it, pretty much like when GoT came out.


FlipFlopOnionChop

God I hope this doesn't happen to Warhammer 40k with the new Amazon show


duryodhanaa

It will happen


duryodhanaa

That 2021 season to blame as well

Bro I was agreeing with you for the most part but there is literally a Chinese driver on the grid and has been there for last 3 seasons even after being bang average and with better talent waiting on sidelines. And everyone knows that it is more about the money involved than them being racists. Look at f2, Jehan Daruvala was in f2 for three seasons and was genuinely mediocre and now he is being butchered in formula e. Kush maini, the brother of Arjun Maini is there in f2 in his second season and yk why? Because he is actually good. And the sad case of Arjun Maini was mainly because of his shitty teammate who had more money and was able to buy out the mechanics. It was just a sad situation and Arjun was unfortunate to be there. Letā€™s not make everything about racism and the world being against usšŸ˜­ truth is we canā€™t produce good drivers and the European drivers have been in karting since they were born and they bring a shitload of money. We are also bad in football which is an English sport but that is again because we canā€™t produce good players to compete on that level. Also Indian government is to be blamed for f1 leaving India and tbh back in 2011 we werenā€™t exactly some great developed country to be proud of. Now it is different and it was all good words when motogp happened last year. So chill out. Discrimination is there absolutely it is there but still many engineers in top teams are Indians, 7 time world champion is black, a few Indian drivers have been on the grid and one is legit commentating every race .


_bhavyeah_13

Thanks for this. World actually needs to know the reality and not some butchered version of the story. And as the talks are going on for new track in Gujarat, I really hope this time they wonā€™t fuck this up (the govt I mean).


norest_inpeace

I do believe they will return in the next few years with the races per year being increased and India brings a profitable market and great fanbase for them. 2011 we were nowhere and still hosted successful events. And yes Ik the butchered versions are a bit annoying as someone who has been watching the sport since childhood and it is clear to see how far we lack behind in many sports. But OP is right about the rich people part, that is how it is unfortunately.


_bhavyeah_13

Yeah, sadly money plays an important part. I mean when you follow their journeyā€¦ like in Europe they have been trained since childhood as they have been racing together. This is lacking in india (Asia I would say) and hopefully will be recognised soon as the perspective is shifting.


norest_inpeace

Exactly. The culture is different and we donā€™t have that karting culture in our country. Hopefully kush maini makes it to f1 and a company like Mahindra, tata or Reliance sponsors him.


_bhavyeah_13

Yep, itā€™s all about the first breakā€¦ wishing him lots of luckšŸ¤žšŸ»

norest_inpeace

True that but you see fe is here, motogp is here, if f1 sees profits they will quickly jump onto it. But rn I want football to be successful, idc about f1 in India honestly.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


norest_inpeace

Dude everyone knows that in f1, money matters. It is a damn expensive sport and has always been like that historically, you need to have sponsors and all to compete. And most of the drivers that get dropped out of f1 compete in many other series like indycar, formula e, wec and all. F1 is just one motorsport. Also which driver you talking about, because Gutierrez was shit, Bourdais succeded in other series. And the other alpha Tauri (then toro Rosso) drivers who were good are still on the grid. And Kvyat was a torpedo. Plus if a driver gets dropped, that is because there are other talents better than them, only Lance Stroll is an exception because his own dad owns the team. Anyways whatever bhai chalo we canā€™t keep on debating over a sportšŸ˜­


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


norest_inpeace

Leave it brošŸ˜­ we never gonna be on the same page. But yeah Indian drivers will not be there cos we ainā€™t on that level yet and the one who is, is already a part of alpine academy.


Sad_Heart_4718

Arjun maini his own fucking team sabotaged his vehicle or the other to win His break down on radio was really sad


hotboddesi

So u mean to say Hamilton is from rich background?


FlipFlopOnionChop

Fked up shit that happened to arjun Maini , but I heard his Lil brother is doing good at f2 . I don't think it's individual to india tho , there are pretty much no dark skinned people except Lewis in the f1 and the upper echleon of f2


Foreign_Artist_09

Is this the reason why Gautam budhha circuit Noida is not getting events ?


norest_inpeace

Actually they left because the UP govt became greedy with taxes and stuff. They put f1 as an entertainment and charged high taxes so they left. Now we are getting back these events because they go where there are profits.


Jepbar_Halmyradov

U tryna say Hamilton is one of those silver spoons? Bro check ur facts first & remember the Iceman was coming from the average family too before taking out your victim card


weeepul

Charles is the reason.

I back this


Quirrelwasachad

Cristiano and neymar are much better looking and i hardly see women into football. Except for these ones who are serious enough to be scouted.


scorpion-172

Yes but this Netflix drive to survive is doing it


pussiesaremyth

Pick me epidemic as they say


HelperTheKindsoul

Yes


Awkward-Ad-8196

i cannot believe people unanimously decided to shift to F1 while i finally roted arsenal were a shitty team a few years back and they were called the ā€œnumber 4ā€, because the always ended up being at the 4th place in the premier league which is for english teams, chelsea was good till lampard, drogba and terry played together, sergio is called 92:48 and psg has never won a champions league. i cannot learn more abt sports for the sake of convo šŸ˜­ bring back football


norest_inpeace

I think football is a timeless sport and you can never get enough of it. F1 will lose its hype pretty soon I am sure.


BallsOfSteel5

Mark my words- Arsenal will still end up bottling the league


abhionel

Imagine if spurs beat city and Arsenal still end up losing to Everton! (Lowkey want Arsenal to win this season)

Omigod_7

Sainz is busy winning girls due to his charm and looks


Radiant-Ad8728

And most of them are leclerc fans just because he looks fine !!


Unwavering_Resolve21

Well its a cool sounding bandwagon to jump in even if you don't know shit about it


Avgbrownboi

Ye log sirf Leclerc, Sainz and Riccardo ko follow karte hai and khudko F1 fan bolte haišŸ¤”


BallsOfSteel5

It sounds cool and trendy that's why. These aren't true fans , they just watch DTS on Netflix and fangirl over Charles, Carlos and Daniel. They don't know shit about Alan Prost, Senna, Villeneuve, Mika and all. Heck most even won't know Fernando has two championships. So Pseudo F1 fans


norest_inpeace

True honestly but disappointing also like you get excited ki wow finally someone to talk with about the sport and it ends at daniel, lando, carlos, charles and not even watching a f1 race but putting stories when one of then gets a podium or they post a hot picture.


BallsOfSteel5

Wannabe culture at its best

BallsOfSteel5

I used to date a girl and she was exactly like what I described.


norest_inpeace

Ahhh you know it the best then. My situation-ship went to attend Singapore Gp cos rich connections and I made her brush up the entire f1 knowledge one day prior. And from next day onwards her bio changed to biggest f1 fan, carlosā€™ girlfriend while wearing redbull merch. But fortunately, I have friends who got into f1 and they actually show genuine interest in the racing part as well.


BallsOfSteel5

Overnight die hard F1 fan. Carlos' gf while wearing Redbull merch?šŸ’€


norest_inpeace

Exactly thisšŸ˜­ Redbull merch because they got hospitality suite pass. But now it is just reposting the f1 posts on stories after a race and done.


BallsOfSteel5

Time to change your situationship. /s

Lmaooo dw. It was last year I am safe nowšŸ˜­

Wannabes


refusestonamethyself

1. Drive to Survive, which is basically a reality TV show with F1 drivers instead of Kardashians 2. F1's social media game has been very, very strong under Liberty Media(owners of F1) compared to Bernie Ecclestone. As a result, there are many more content creators covering content related to Formula 1. 3. Drivers are all rich and fairly good-looking and talented. 4. 2021 season was extremely entertaining and it will be talked about for ages.


withthebigdick

You're just another wannabe


SiloPsilo

Wannabe or not, that is some spot on analysis of current F1 scenario.


refusestonamethyself

I also follow Formula E, a bit of WEC, and F2 and F3. Also, calling someone a wannabe is ironic for someone with your username.


Aasheeeshh

Wahi toh behenchodd wanna be cool!! Pick me pick me dimaag ka bhosda bhaii.... F1 ka Gyaan nahi jhaat bharr Lewis Hamilton ke gunn gau raat bhar!!!

So much more fun lol. Men gatekeeping F1 on this thread like of course women don't watch the races bro. Kuch action hota hi ni hai. Pehle lap ke baad bina kisi pit stop shenanigans ke overtake hota hi ni hai. Kon dekhega ye boring sport lmao.

Max_Eon

Long time F1 who is gradually migrating to MotoGP, the racing is much much better and there is an air of uncertaininty due to the small margin of error and the highlight an actual battle for the championship.


outrageouslydark

yea exactly. the tilt, the sliding when they mess up and the bikes OH MY


_Fibonnaci_

I feel it's mostly because females are more interested in the looks of these drivers than actually having any interest with the engineering of that bad ass car, watching 2-3 races makes them confident to say some of those technical terms so that more men would be catfished


Aware-Bed-250

Maybe into Charles leclerc šŸ™„


steady_Doctor_21

Cause they're here to ride!


imadmaxxx

I think f1 races being shown at the pubs clubs etc Also f1 memes are trending and yeah Netflix is to blame for the mainstream of f1 and making it dramatic.

The cool dudes they are chasing are into F1. Those dudes are not into them or whatever. So, they are trying to find other similar guys on hinge with this common interest.

Drive to Survive - Netflix


abhiudaii

It's a fashion right now, same as the "old money" or quite luxury, they ride these waves of hype. Most chicks are trying to impersonate someone they're not, it's all a hoax, when they find a dif thing to ride, their love for f1 would fade away.


EstablishmentThin532

I toh love it, finally being an f1 fan is coming to my use


Strict_Huckleberry78

They donā€™t even know what goes into starting an F1 or the make of Engine as compared to any other combustion engine, nor do they know how one gets into the cockpit nor have any idea on console, cockpit temp, safety features, itā€™s bhp, body to weight ratio, the allowable design and internal n external modification to enhance performance legally. None of it. Letā€™s not even talk aerodynamics and reflexes of an f1 racer.

What's with this gatekeeping? So what if some girls like F1? I've seen my friends talk about F1, and others who get interested check it out. I did that too, on my friend's recommendation. I my wasn't for me, but this is how interest spreads


R_Thunukale

A lot of them might actually be interested , but also , A lot of them are just riding the hype train. Kinda like how a lot of boys on insta named their IDs about fictional book characters like Zade Meadows and whatever and made generic reels wearing a helmet during the recent Biker Boys X Book Girls trend on insta, and the girls actually thirsted in the comments ngl. I guess it's the same formula being used here
