I just finished Season 5 of #DriveToSurive and I thought it was the best one yet! I don't think that Netflix had to invent much drama this year because there was plenty to be had throughout a wild season. Would recommend!

That being said, there were two big flaps that were notably absent that I would love to know more about:

1. The growing rift between Verstappen & Perez at the end of the season, culminating with the Abu Dhabi shenanigans with Verstappen not being a team player and keeping Checo from getting 2nd place in the driver's championship. That relationship really seemed to sour at the end of the season, and what with Max participating in DTS again this year, I'm surprised it was not even discussed. Seems like this sort of drama is something that is right up Netflix's "controversy alley".

2. Not that we'll probably ever get a real answer on this one, but I am dying to know what happened to Ricciardo at McLaren. Why was he struggling so hard with the McLaren car when Lando did so well? There has been a lot of speculation, but I was hoping that the question would have at least come up and maybe at least get Danny Ric's side of the story since he's out for next year, but it didn't.

@cami Started watching Drive to Survive last night, a nice precursor to the new season, starting this coming weekend....can't wait to see what Alonso can do with his Aston...#F1 #drivetosurive

Today has been a pretty good day. Brunch with friends, dispelled some negative energy and angst in a #rageroom , spent a little time reading #cyberpunkred , watched some #F1 pre-race testing and #DriveToSurive to get ready for the upcoming season, and finished reading #SomethingIsKillingTheChildren.

And then all y’all got to hear about it at the end of my day today once I got back to Mastodon to empty out my brain one microblog at a time. Good thing our wonderful admin upped the character limit on toots! :kekw:

Fortunately, I have one more decompression day in my weekend because I need to show my #SteamDeck and #xbox some love and check out the latest patches for #Cyberpunk2077 . Hopefully tomorrow is as good a day as today was.
