One of the, you know, just cinematic backdrops for Formula One.

That's very emblematic, isn't it?

To go for three races in the States when for so many years there wasn't any U.S.

Grand Prix just shows where the attention is market-wise.

And those are three great events on the Formula One calendar.

You had a young pretender in Max Verstappen who had been waiting for his chance up against the statistical greatest driver in Formula One history, Lewis Hamilton.

Most wins, most pole positions, most podiums.

And you very rarely get an opportunity to see...

a future great up against a current great.

And yet in 2021, right off the back of the pandemic, when so many fans had discovered Formula One through the digital channels and through Drive to Survive, suddenly the second shoe drops and one of the greatest seasons that Formula One has ever seen.

It was gladiatorial.

It was physically painful for both drivers.

It was aggressive.

They were constantly side by side, wheel to wheel, on the edge for the entire season.

Not just a phase, not just a race, not just a moment.

Nine months around the world, high speed.

And these are the two of the greatest to ever do it, fighting for the titles.

It just, it happens so rarely.

And it happened straight after Drive to Survival caught fire.

Yeah.
