The producers of Formula 1: Drive to Survive have praised Daniel Ricciardo for opening up to the cameras in moments of \u201cgenuine crisis\u201d in season 4.<\/p>\n
Executive producers James Gay-Rees and Paul Martin picked out Ricciardo as one particular character who has bared his soul to the cameras with \u201cpretty brave\u2026 pretty incredible\u201d moments throughout the run of the show.<\/p>\n
The fourth season of the smash-hit Netflix<\/a> series aims to spotlight on McLaren in episode two as the experienced Ricciardo struggles to get to grips with his new surroundings.<\/p>\n Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com, Gay-Rees said: \u201cObviously, [the F1 drivers<\/a>] want to come out of it well but they\u2019re being very honest about it, the access is pretty authentic.<\/p>\n \u201cA character like Daniel Ricciardo, who we have filmed with a lot over the years, has some tough times and we highlight them in the season and he doesn\u2019t shrink away from that.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s there\u2019s one bit with Daniel Ricciardo, when he\u2019s really struggling and he\u2019s having a genuine crisis. He didn\u2019t tell us to turn the cameras off and if I had been him I think I probably would have done. He was very low and you\u2019re in there with him and it\u2019s pretty arresting.\u201d<\/p> Ricciardo started the season in the shadow of young teammate Lando Norris, who went on to finish sixth in the F1 2021 standings, three places and 45 points ahead of Ricciardo.<\/p>\n The Australian driver isn\u2019t afraid to bare his emotions in front of the camera and that\u2019s not an exclusive aspect of season 4.<\/p>\n Martin said: \u201cWe\u2019ve probably run the spectrum of Dani, from from being at Red Bull, the big decision that he made going to Renault, the situation with Cyril and then getting to McLaren.<\/p>\n \u201cYou think this is a perfect fit for Dani, he\u2019s with Lando, it\u2019s just going to work\u2026 and then it doesn\u2019t. For the first six months of last year, it really felt like this is really not going to work out for Dani.<\/p>\n \u201cHaving spent a lot of time with Dani and got to know him, you felt that on a personal level as well. What\u2019s great about it though is that he has consistently given us access at all those different points. At the highs, the wins and the real lows.<\/p>\n \u201cIt always surprises me every year when you\u2019re in the edit and you\u2019re like: \u2018Did we really get that moment? That\u2019s pretty brave, that\u2019s pretty incredible.’\u201d<\/p>\n Formula 1: Drive to Survive season 4 arrives on Netflix Friday 11th March.
