Lando Norris has also questioned the depiction of his relationship with McLaren’s teammate Daniel Ricciardo in the latest series, and has since cast doubt on the credibility of the show.

Pierre Guthrie added that he was “satisfied” with appearing in Drive to Survive on the condition that “as long as it reflects who we are personally”.
