Drive to Survive, Season 6, Part 4: Yachts in San Tropez

Mel & Jill Geek Out

The Besties kick off this episode talking about some of the fun things happening at the Miami Grand Prix and some other F1 breaking news.

Episode 7 takes us back to Alpine and the many, many issues they were having in 2023. Otmar continues to live in delulu land about the state of the team, and it only lasts so long. They literally fire him mid-race weekend (yikes) after they had two double DNFs in a row. But cue Bruno who comes in and seems to put a few things together, mainly forcing Ocon and Gasley to bury their beef in the past where it belongs. And the first race after bringing in Bruno, Alpine gets double points (too bad it didn’t last).

Episode 8 is all about the intensity that surrounds Ferrari. With bringing in a new team principal, and the car struggle, the fans of Ferrari are skeptical at best about the future of Ferrari. As the oldest team in F1, there’s a lot of reputation to live up to. But the silly little french man might be the best thing that’s ever happened to Ferrari.
