Since the gift that was Drive to Survive, fans of F1 have come to realise that what happens off the track and behind the scenes is often just as thrilling as the races themselves.
Take last weekend, for example – the leaked radio exchanges between Lando Norris and our very own Daniel Ricciardo at the Russian Grand Prix were even more exciting that the race itself.
So, ahead of the upcoming Turkish Grand Prix, we’ve pulled together a watch list for F1 fans – from unmissable classic F1 documentaries to where you can catch all the live races.
McClaren
New Zealander Bruce McLaren only lived to be 32 years old, but during that time he became a racing legend. Directed by the acclaimed Roger Donaldson, this documentary takes a trip back to see where it all started for Bruce McClaren, who rose from humble beginnings to become the founder of the legendary McLaren Motor Racing team. As one of motorsports’ most innovative figures in history, McLaren is the ideal subject for a documentary. The film chronicles the incredible life and untimely death of one of the key players in revolutionising Formula 1 racing. Watch it on FOX DOCOS.
Daniel Ricciardo: 2021 Season So far
Australia’s own Daniel Ricciardo has had a turbulent season with McClaren so far. You can catch him on Fox Sports sharing his insight on the struggles he faced early in the season and his recent victory in Monza. Ever the candid interviewee, he shares that seeing his team doing ‘shoeys’ has been the most memorable part of his recent win.
Lauda
The documentary looks at three-time champion, Niki Lauda, and the effects of his infamous 1976 crash at the Nurburgring – arguably one of the most famous crashes in Formula One history. Viewers are taken through the aftermath including never before seen footage of his recovery and miraculous comeback just weeks later. The film also looks at how his crash affected the sport and the safety developments it triggered. Watch it on FOX DOCOS.
