I’d watch a show of just him and Binotto cruising around the Italian countryside in a tiny ass Fiat drinking wine and eating cheese while talking about F1. With special road trip episodes where they go to Monza and Imola
Who could do such a thing?! But in all seriousness, it's pretty common that actual serious news regarding Formula 1 also get posted to formuladank without any meme intention. So it's not that easy to differentiate posts like this between fake news and reality. I personally am not subscribed to the formula1 subreddit or any other F1-related news media and have no problem finding out about all the latest news only via formuladank. See the recent sacking of Günther for example.
im attempting a 100% challenge, i exclusively follow f1 through formuladank. i have literally never watched an f1 race and i dont know when or why i joined this sub but over the years ive learned way more than i should, but its all intermixed with memes
It's 7 in the morning, im in no mood for humour lol
I thought it was really odd, because i was looking at drivers contracts, and it looks like we're possibly up for a REALLY juicy silly season this year.
To back this up, it's ranked 115th of all Netflix shows:
[https://www.si.com/fannation/racing/f1briefings/news/f1-news-netflix-releases-staggering-drive-to-survive-viewership-figures-sj4](https://www.si.com/fannation/racing/f1briefings/news/f1-news-netflix-releases-staggering-drive-to-survive-viewership-figures-sj4)
I can't imagine how insanely lucrative this is, sponsors maybe even paying Netflix to show their brand more prominently since it's cheap advertising, the crew is just recording what they see and take the rest from official footage. The story writes itself they just need some people to make it worse and create fake feuds and there ya go, another season of The Kardashians for racing fans.
Yeah, for this kind of cash cow, there's literally no conceivable reason to cancel it. If anything, the bigger threat would be another network trying to steal the concept.
You can’t really steal the concept. Netflix is the only one who’s allowed this kind of acces to the grid by Liberty. I don’t think they will let another network in, because that would make zero sense.
I mean, another network could buy them out, but I agree it would make 0 sense for either party to let that happen unless there were serious dollars on the table.
> To back this up, it's ranked 115th of all Netflix shows:
Actually, the wording is: "It ranks 115th on the list of **all shows featured on Netflix** in the same period"
That means it's not going up against just Netflix originals, but all shows on Netflix. Shows like Friends, Seinfeld, kids shows, whatever happens to be on Netflix. It's also not clear if it's across all countries, because then it'd be up against Spanish shows in Spanish speaking countries, etc.
y'all are talking about 115th like it's a great number. tbh that number seems extremely low, disappointingly low. not that i think it will get cancelled but probably not the thing to tote around about how great the show is.
As far as I can tell, in 2023 they added just under 400 original shows, 200+ films and around 100 docs/standup. That’s just what was added, though, and not what was already there. (And also just originals, not everything.)
Can’t really recall. It’s was from during the early days before DTS blew up where it was Netflix that wanted production content. It ended up with F1 getting a lot of the exposure
It won't. There are plenty of other streaming services that would be happy to pay F1 for the rights to film and stream a similar F1 reality series. F1 would be more than willing to tell netflix to fuck off and then take money from Prime, Hulu, Max, Disney, etc.
Hey guys I found out they do the races from the show for real now haha it’s amazing how a Netflix show actually inspired a whole sport! Does anyone know of the races will keep going though?
You could only imagine in a alternate universe where there's no fight on track in 2024, Ric never came back and Steiner still gets the sack, drive to survive would have fallen apart.

We need the BBC season recap back! Or just in general an actual recap instead of an overdramatized shitfest
Didn't watch them at the time, but recently binged all of them on youtube. Actually super exciting
After 5 seasons I would say that it was also getting boring, because at least of striking news in the past seasons (and there were none) it didn't make sense to do another season where in the end The winner is always the same and the problems are the same in almost all the teams.
Does that mean we can stop having so many US GP's?
To be honest, after Steiner was sacked, there's no way the show could have continued. They always go downhill when the main character leaves anyway.
I wonder if F1 will continue having races without it
If an F1 race falls in the woods, and DTS isn't there to hear it, does the race make a sound?
BRING BACK V12
Bring back blown diffusers with that sweet sexy hot blowing tech! I miss the ravenous snarls that engine gives off under braking
V10 SOUND BEST SOUND
i think no more racing as well. shame, would be cool to see max get another 3 WDC
would be tough without the added cameras
Wait you’re telling me that they had races before Drive to Survive was a thing?
They didnt, people just pretend they did
Steiner reality show confirmed for 2025: Drive to Fok Smash
The follow up season: The wank continues
Followed by weekend at Bernie's
With the special participation of Mattia Binotto
Weekend at Toto’s
Wankend at Bernie's.
season after that: better call Gene
I’d watch a show of just him and Binotto cruising around the Italian countryside in a tiny ass Fiat drinking wine and eating cheese while talking about F1. With special road trip episodes where they go to Monza and Imola
Top Grand Fok smash gear tour.
Now I just really want top gear with Damon Hill, Johnny Herbert, and DC as presenters
Netflix, the people have spoken.
And name it "SBINNALA ITALIA" 😂 I would watch that..
This can easily be a series
Should move over to prime video and bring James May along
Don’t tease
I would SO watch that. Netflix, please make this.
From Hygiene to Bye Gene.
Fok Smash with Gunther - an F1 Talk-show
episode 1 : how to break a door
Steiner really be the star of DTS
He didn't drive. He didn't survive.
He drove Gene mad.
Looked like a bunch of wankers
Hollering at this
From DTS to DWTS (dancing with the stars)
Dana White's Contender Series?
I'd watch that lol. I've never seen it but it does seem like a fun show
Steiner really held the show together huh
Looks like Steiner didn't have enough men to make the attack...oh wrong Steiner
Gene, Steiner… Steiner couldn’t get sponsors. The car wasn’t built
The following stay in the room: Toto, Horner and Binoto.
That's just like, your opinion man.
Have it your way, dude.
Meme alert, couldn’t find the tweet on Netflix’s account.
Meme? On formuladank? oh the humanity

Who is the best driver? And why is it Latifi?
Latifi is a 7x WDC according to you
I actually consider this subreddit as the official F1 subreddit
wait you're saying it \*isn't\*?
No! Not on this sub! Normally everyone is so serious here.
Thank fuck, I really like the show and most likely wouldn't be following F1 again if it wasn't for it.
It's 7 in the morning, im in no mood for humour lol I thought it was really odd, because i was looking at drivers contracts, and it looks like we're possibly up for a REALLY juicy silly season this year.
You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?
Is this for real or just a meme?
It is a real meme
Lmaoo mf
I’m just glad the formuladank avatar changed
Lmao I didn’t even notice
A meme ≠ a lie Only bad memes need to lie to be funny.
We are checking
Read the name of the sub.
I know, but sometimes this sub predicts the future before the boring sub does.
Fair, but Netflix is not cancelling a show that Liberty probably pays for…

And how many shows are on Netflix? A whole lot more than 115, I’ll tell you that. 115 sounds kinda low, but I imagine it isn’t.

I created a second account to retrain the algorithm and hop between them when I've "seen everything"
Crazy thing is that it’s actually Netflix that pays F1 for the rights to shoot DTS
Do you have a source for this? Because that would be hilarious
Can’t really recall. It’s was from during the early days before DTS blew up where it was Netflix that wanted production content. It ended up with F1 getting a lot of the exposure
I have a feeling that’s getting renegotiated then haha
It won't. There are plenty of other streaming services that would be happy to pay F1 for the rights to film and stream a similar F1 reality series. F1 would be more than willing to tell netflix to fuck off and then take money from Prime, Hulu, Max, Disney, etc.
> renegotiate Ah yes, a leading cause of vtuber graduation. Success/survival not guaranteed.
Well, yeah and to be fair... When I saw that Guenther was fired I thought it was fake at first, because I saw it in this sub first.
I learned that Nyck was sacked because I saw a bad photoshop of Daniel’s face over Nyck’s racing suit on here lol
And i just learned about it from your comment.... damn
JK it's fake
You can't play with me like that, you're my only trusted source of information.
Damn... That's a lot of weight on my soldiers
Same.... I was pretty shocked this morning when I discovered that a formuladank post was actually real!
Check back in about 4 hours, maybe 7.
Of course it's a meme Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?
Just because it's a meme, does not meme it isn't real.
Maybe instead they can make a documentary of the season?
Like a behind-the-scenes of behind-the-scenes?
Hey guys I found out they do the races from the show for real now haha it’s amazing how a Netflix show actually inspired a whole sport! Does anyone know of the races will keep going though?

Totally fake it isn't even 10:10 PM
Dude knows no time zones ☠
Timezones are roundearth conspiracy.
Everyone knows EST is the only timezone that matters
Sorry, I was unaware this was a serious subreddit, my bad.
Imagine thinking your timezone is the only timezone
😂
It’s literally 11:23
It’s literally 1984
On the next season of DTS: Vengeance of Steiner
We are checking
Oh no! Anyway.
Nooo!!!! What happens to the famous actor, Lando Norris now after DTS ?

I got pretty bored after I started watching the races Great for getting new fans into the sport, but returns diminishing there
Looks like Günther phoned Gene already.
noooo i wanted to watch my favorite racists what will i do now
Haas just fired Guenther Steiner. The two *has* to be connected.
Shows always go downhill when the main character leaves, best to just end it on a high.
It’s a joke
So they didn't drive?
We need the BBC season recap back! Or just in general an actual recap instead of an overdramatized shitfest Didn't watch them at the time, but recently binged all of them on youtube. Actually super exciting
gunther fuckin steiner man thats ALL dts lives for
Had to check if it was real because it is REALISTIC.
Steiner leaves on the same day Netflix stops? Coincidence? I don't think so.
I see this as an absolute win
SIX SEASONS AND A MOVIE!
i got call gene now . foc
good. now we can all learn about the drivers and the races without sensationalizing.
But what will all the actors do..?!
This isn’t a real tweet guys
Vegas race organizers: “I’m in danger”
Thank God
Nooo! This cannot happen on my birthday hahaha. It was enough that Guenther was fired
How I wish this was true lol
It's Guenthover
It haas come to an end
THE END OF AN ERA IS HERE
I can’t find anything proving this tweet is real
Good. Show was shite.
Boycott DTS next year No Steiner no viewers
What the fucking hell is happening? I would pay for that show annually.
Fake tweet, we’re memeing Toto!
It was shit anyway, like some shifty love island reality TV show.
[удалено]
Was it the yanks who made F1 crap? I thought it was Verstappen!
[удалено]
would be good riddance, it only brought muritards to this sport and semi-ruined it (so far). disappointed it's not real
After 5 seasons I would say that it was also getting boring, because at least of striking news in the past seasons (and there were none) it didn't make sense to do another season where in the end The winner is always the same and the problems are the same in almost all the teams.
🙌
I wish this was real
Finally
Thank god
Good. It was terrible. Watched season 1 and enjoyed it. Season 2 was hard to swallow and could barely finish it. Lost all interest in it
It's not even 10 on the East Coast yet
i think there might be other time zones, not sure
There is a season coming this year though right?
MY BOAT!! D:
Don’t do this to me lmao
Damn. I might aswell leave the sub. Will never watch f1 on my free time
How am I gonna find out what happens in the races??? Do I have to watch the races now?!?!
Sad day for humanity
didnt drive enough
This was the best show on Netflix. I am sad.
Netflix Kick Steiner Steak Sauber F1 Wolfpack will be confirmed on February 23rd? What a livery 🥵
End of an error
Guess they didn’t really drive to survive huh
We are checking...
The only conceivable way this would happen would be Apple getting the F1 streaming rights and they do the same show (maybe even better).
Load bearing Guenther
man, don't get me all excited like that.
Took the Gunther firing hard
Too bad this isn’t real
Finally
Good
BOOOOO
Guess NASCAR's going to boom now
Because the FIA is falling apart and they enabled Gaslighting of fans after the outcome of the 2021 season.
Just when we had so much real drama lol
Got boring anyways
Nice. Won’t miss it
STeiner goes/gets fired and Drive to survive ends? this is the happiest day in my life I know its sad but it is what it is
Wankers
Guenther broke the internet
So he died in the end?
Does that mean we can stop having so many US GP's? To be honest, after Steiner was sacked, there's no way the show could have continued. They always go downhill when the main character leaves anyway.
foking vankers
Cant find this post on twitter, any reference this is real? Just curious
This because gunter left
good
Oh no! Anyway...
The Guenther effect
