Formula 1 is the world’s most popular motorsport, but just a few years ago it was on the brink of losing cultural relevancy. Then Drive to Survive happened. This is the story of how one show saved an entire sport.

Congrats on 200!
Hey @Driver61!
I like when CZcamsrs appreciate other’s content
Damm its you
F1 🤝 Driver61
Thank you Scott!
Now us Brits need to make a reality show about Nascar (The Only Way is Left)....Ok that title probably wouldn't go down well with the Nascar lot 😅
Lololol I'm not American but that's a great title
I’m American and I love that title lol
They actually turn right sometimes.:.they even have some street circuits.
But yeah it’s a funny title hehe
Give NASCAR a chance tho..it’s high speed chess. It’s not about the tech, the cars are basic American muscle cars. It’s about the alliances that are built, alliances that are broken, strategy, scheming, faking, even intentionally crashing. It’s far more complicated a sport than it seems. It’s barely controlled war.
As far as I know, the production house behind "Drive to Survive" is British?
In case you're curious, they turn left because there's 200 lbs (90.72 kg) more weight on the left side of the vehicle, making left turns more stable. They can go faster turning left than turning right, and more speed is more fun to watch, I guess. The reason for the 200 lbs on the left of the car is that's where the driver sits in American vehicles (most NASCAR folks take immense pride in being American, in my experience). Drivers apparently have to weigh 200 lbs or less, and then they add weights to make all the drivers effectively 200 lbs. I've also heard it came from the tradition of horse racing, where the track runs counter-clockwise; because British tracks ran clockwise and we couldn't possibly do things the way you do over there haha
the big thing with DTS is that it dipped your toes in a massive pool of F1. It did a good job of explaining the sport, the tracks, how the cars work. But it also introduce the drivers, and not just the top 3 or 4 drivers. If you watch a race, you usually don't ever see people like Nico get interviewed when he places like 10th or 15th in a race. So if you just stepped into F1 with no previous knowledge. It takes a season or two, plus a good amount of personal research to really understand it and the drivers. Where DTS kind of condensed all it down into something more digestible for new fans. I honestly wish every sport did this.
I don't like a lot of sports because if you haven't been following forever, you just don't know. Its the same with baseball, or football, or soccer or any sport. You need to spend you time, watching a sport you don't understand and then taking time to learn how this works and why something happened.
So very true! As a young woman in a male-dominated occupation, I was trying to learn football to be able to follow a lot of the conversations going on at work. Unknowingly, my first introduction was to Canadian Football. I was walking by the TV room one day and something caught my eye with the football game being watched without sound. Ever trying to learn, I asked a question about what I just saw. "Oh, that's American Football, it's different" was the answer.
What? I give up. Don't even attempt to get me interested in hockey. I'll watch bits and pieces of the Olympics but now? ... Now I'm scouring CZcams every Monday looking for F1 videos. I might even spend some money so I can watch it live!
DTS also created LOT of fake drama. That's why I only watched half of the 1st season. And I follow F1 for almost 20 years now. But hey, I don't judge, who likes it watches it, vice versa.
@@0okyo True, but I think that DTS did that, to make the season more exciting. I'm new to being an f1 fan, and the most exciting thing about f1 was last year's rivalry between Verstappen and Hamilton. I don't think that the previous seasons had something as exciting as that.
Also, the rivalry of the 2021 season is easily noticeable, and was the highlight of the year. It was so popular, that even someone like me who only knew that Hamilton was a 7-time world champ, felt the thrill. I'm not saying that the previous years didn't have similar exciting events, but to understand those, you need to be a "true" f1 fan, who has been watching f1 since the 90's, to know and understand what's happening. But DTS was for those fans, AND for new viewers.
So maybe because of that, they created something fake to keep the viewer count constant.
This is my assumption btw.
Exactly.. In fact Merc and Ferrari not agreeing to shoot made the whole series damn interesting.. I missed the Red bull and cranky Verstappen in the last season though :D
Fun Fact: I actually became an F1 fan and even a car guy, just by watching Drive to Survive! Its crazy how many more viewers F1 has because of netflix.
thats good to hear ngl, considering how normies keep hyping "oh the end of car culture" again and again
Fun fact f1 was more enjoyable before all these new fans showed up with their sh!t social media takes.
Not saying you personally have bad takes. In general these new "fans" don't respect the history and don't seem to understand what fair clean racing.
when americans think f1 needed netflix and forget that before Mercedes destroyed the sport in 14’ , we didnt need netflix and we had goldon seasons like 2012, 2010, 2008, 2007, 2005 and so much more...
2012 had a viewership count about 1billion if i remember correctly, one of the highest viewed sport at the time
Insaneeee how far donut has come and how much they have done !! Congrats on 200!!

Bruh my F1 CZcams worlds colliding

So true about the show bringing in young people and women. My wife couldn't care less about all sports, until we started watching the show together. Now she watches the races with me and knows all the top drivers by name, and team. I'm surprised sometimes by her interest and knowledge of the sport. That show is a godsend for F1.
Same here, my wife hates traditional sports but is borderline obsessed with F1
Yes, same here.
That's because women are very social/emotional and shows like Netflix fleshes out the characters, the story, real emotions....the humans and it grows on them. In a race, you don't get much story at all about the actual drivers as people. Normally, you would have to research and follow stories outside the race....but that only works when the interest in the sport is already there.
I'm female and it was my ex-boyfriend who introduced me to F1, He didn't even force me, he just said to watch 1 race and maybe I would like it. I think my first race was the 2003 Hungarian GP and in that race, I witnessed a very young driver who I thought was kinda cute but also very ballsy go and win the thing and in the process lap Schumacher. The next year I met that driver in a meet and greet on route to Japan. By then I was hooked. I voraciously soaked up anything I could get my hands on. I familiarized myself with not just the teams but with a lot more. I collected F1 Racing Magazines (now GP Racing) more than I did Cosmo. I looked into the strategies (back then refueling was still allowed so I was very much interested in strategy regarding how much they'd fuel and how many stops), car specs, etc. Few women even go that far into the fandom. Still a Fernando Alonso fan after all these years. Btw, the documentary about his last race for Ferrari is a must-watch.
DTS is a good way to get someone into the sport but to really experience F1, is to watch the races, and interviews read about the inside stories, etc. And you decide on what to feel about a certain thing without the show leading you to it. Let's face it, DTS is biased.
I started watching F1 after seeing DTS. I was always intrigued about F1, but not knowing any of the drivers or teams makes it hard to enter the world and become a fan. We all know that the producers create drama and their own story lines, but it was still informative to see who all the characters are.
I've always loved cars and racing, and I had surface level knowledge of F1, but I never followed an auto racing championship. Except in high school when I tried for 3 weeks to follow Nascar. I lost all interest in watching auto racing from that point on until a co-worker recommended Drive to Survive to me. I had expressed interest in rallying during a conversation one day and he nudged me constantly to check DTS out over the course of a work week. To my pleasant surprise, I binged the whole series one weekend and was actually looking forward to the next season when he asked why not just watch the races live. Thus, I discovered F1TV and I've been following the sport like a crazy person since 2020. I honestly think F1 saved me from going insane during the lockdowns lol
Jake, agreed! I am 100% in the same boat with you.
@@ParkingLotGod Same here. I've been interrested in motorsports all my life, but it has been more sporadic (WRC, MX/Enduro, Dakar Rally). After watching the first and second season of DTS, I purchased F1-TV subscription and have watched all races live since then. MotoGP has a show on Prime, but I was a bit disappointed. Hope next season will be better.
F1's CZcams channel is what got me into it to be honest. I saw a couple Race Highlights and Compilation Videos 2-3 years ago and was hooked.
Same here, I watched one highlight video, then another, then 20. Now I experience heartbreak if I miss a full race
Same, I became a fan at the end of the 2017 season because of the race highlights and couldn’t wait for the season to start again in 2018
Exactly the same for me
yep the person managing their F1 youtube channel deserves the biggest raise ever
Tbh up to speed and just donut F1 content influencing my algorithm got me into it lmao.
It's a double edged sword. Yes, it gave an influx of USA fans, but a lot of em also believe that drive to survive is factual. Like in the first season where they portray Max vs Ricciardo. They're still good buds on the track, but in the series it's presented like they couldn't stand each other.
That's the main gripe.
They try to create narratives out of thin air which don't remotely exist in real life.
Plus the Will Buxton narration is very annoying.
The overdramatised narrative is very annoying. Sainz vs Norris was even worse. Take a look at the F1 Insider series on CZcams, that’s what DTS should be.
I wonder what people who watched the episode on the Lando X Carlos "bitter rivalry" thought when they actually got into F1 and discovered that they're actually great buddies.
@@sandenson +1. That was the moment where they went too far I think. Especially with Carlos, this guy is as sweet as an ice cream.
@@sandenson that was absolutely ridiculous…these 2 had one of the best bromances if F1 history
A bunch of people at my job, including my boss are OG F1 fans and recommended I check out DTS. After the first episode I was hooked! Seeing that it is more than just racing and how much strategy and logistics go into it is really cool! I watch a bunch of F1 channels on CZcams now, this is one heck of a season, although admittedly I have yet to see an actual race as I'm busy on Sundays and I don't have cable. lol
Hopefully you get to see one soon, especially with these last two races of the season!
Make sure not to miss the final race this Sunday. It will be a legendary race
oh buddy, you better catch the next one. this one is gonna be a doozy
im taking off work for it
As someone who started watching f1 due to drive to survive, I can safely say that they’ve done their job well
Too bad DTS has now had an influx of fans who have no clue but think they do.
I think drive to survive sparked my interest in cars again and turned me to this channel in the end. Keep up the great work guys!
@Catherine Not clicking those sus links, thank you very much *BOT*
Same here! And I’m glad for it. Love this channel and the sport.
Same here
Happy 200th!
I’ve been a fan of F1 for around 15 years and I have to say I’m happy DTS exists and I can’t for the new season to come out. They do a decent job presenting the season’s events and create interesting storylines for more casual fan and that’s the point of it…I watch all sessions and closely follow F1 news so of course the created storylines feel a bit odd but if that introduces new fans to the sport and helps the sport grow so be it…except the Carlos-Lando rivalry…that was inexcusable!!!
This is SO TRUE. I went from a very casual fan to being absolutely obsessed over the last 3 years. I've now been to a Grand Prix and spent thousands of dollars on a high end racing sim. It worked on me.
As simplistic as it sounds, learning that there are tire performance levels they have to pick from, and that they have a fuel limit, was enough for me to be interested in F1. It wasn’t the series exactly that convinced me, it could have been any one to tell me about those two very basic rules of F1. It just happened to be the first episode of DTS that told me. Those two rules made F1 seem more real, because it resembled racing video games and having a selection of parts to customize your car. And video games are something I play, so by extension, it meant F1 was something I should watch.
Can we get a special guest Bart!? I miss my science-garage buddy.
@@user-zh1ds5ht3p I am sure those sus links won’t lead us to Bart, thank you very much *BOT*
Bart! That was a good cat. Science Garage helped me understand sooooo many things for the first time. Congrats Nolan! Here for 200 more.
Another great thing to mention is how clear and concise David and Martin are when explaining things mid-race. They clearly understand that a lot of new fans tune in every race and make an effort to ensure that they know whats going on.
Congrats on 200! I remember watching the first Wheel House and thought, I really like this Nolan guy. I haven't missed one since. Keep it up!
Congrats on the 200!
Would love to see Bart on this channel for a special episode or something like that. Really do miss his energy and way of explaining a lot!
I miss Bart, he made difficult concepts easy to understand
@@phoenix1279 for example the tubes which is to this day one of my favorite videos by Donut
Guest staring on episodes would be a great idea. Another channel I watch had a very similar thing happen where a well liked host had to leave and they brought him back to host a couple segments of different shows. They are very similar to Donut just for esports.
Bruh Bart left donut a while back
@@camogap7392 I know that, which is why I specified...for a special ep or something like that
The Drive to Survive result was seen in 2021 USGP!! Crazy amount of people... I was shocked to meet so many new F1 fans who started after Drive to Survive
With the outcome of F1 2021 season, Season 4 of DTS would be lit.
I wonder how they're going to do it without Verstappen. He already announced months ago that he doesn't want to be part of DTS anymore. I can't even blame him...
I found donut media right when my career shifted into automotive and it´s been a blast to learn my way into this world with you guys. Thank you!
If only NASCAR can get a show like this.
Drive to Survive was so engaging that my parents were saying "one more episode" and they don't follow automotive anything ... sure it's not super accurate and sensationalizes a lot (like Verstappen vs Ricciardo) but they would never have cared about F1 otherwise.
If Max Verstappen is reading this comment (doubt), I'd tell him not to worry since new F1 fans will consume other F1 media and learn the truth about drivers, whereas people who just watched DTS for the entertainment value probably aren't gonna affect anything...it's a win win.
This man gets it. Well said
the drivers title all he cares about
same tho
This is exactly what happened to me! I’m not naive enough to think that the rivalries were ‘real’; reality tv always does that…but it got me interested and then I did my own research. And btw….GO MAX!!!! (My fave, so DtS didn’t have any bearing on that whatsoever haha)
I haven't ever watched DTS but one sensationalized "rivalry" I always hear they've tried really hard to milk is Lando and Carlos Sainz. This is my first full year watching F1 (before that, the only races I ever saw were Spa and Monza in 2020) and even I know they have just about the closest bromance you can imagine
@@armadillolover99 that's true; by the time I watched that episode, I was a committed fan and knew about 'Carlando' well. I rolled my eyes through that entire episode. I can understand why Max is the only one who absolutely refuses to work with DtS or even do an interview...because they make up stories and sensationalize. Daniel and Max had (and still do) one of the closest friendships on the grid.
Congrats Nolan! This is my favorite show on the channel and I hope it's around 200 more episodes and beyond
Love you Nolan, you guys have really helped me know more about Cars, Motorsport, etc. And DTS is a awesome series and I’ve got so many of my friends watching F1 now because of it.
Rest in peace Uncle Jerry, you will be missed
rip uncle jerry fr
Can't believe uncle Jerry is gone :( I keep watching the ads in hopes of some more anctics... On a different note, congrats to Nolan and team on 200!!
Congrats on 200 episodes of wheelhouse Nolan and the donut team. You've become my favorite show on the channel especially once up to speed went on vacation for a while.
Congratulations on 200 i love your f1 video please consider doing more of them 💜
Big Ups on 200 Nolan! We're always waiting for you video of Wheel House. This was a great 200th episode! Love the show and love how you explained it!
I couldn't watch a single race of f1 before DTS, it was just like yea fast cars making a lot of noise driving around. After watching Drive to survive i've realized that there's so much more depth in this sport and it turned me and my friends into hardcore fans watching races every sunday, watching F1 youtubers, hell i even plan to go to a race in person next season.
Welcome to the pinnacle of motorsport community
Hate to break it to you. F1 races in real life aren’t as entertaining as TV. True race fans don’t care of course, because they actually love the sport.
@@midknight don’t listen to this guy watching races is real life are amazing you get a real experience of the speed and sound of the cars and it has a great atmosphere
@@midknight tbh its in every sport..if you watch some random sport with zero knowledge like if you watch cricket and simply see it with no idea what they are doing you might not get the importance or get any fun out of it..its just hitting the ball and run..but when you know the strategies,rules, what the players experience while playing the sport..it changes a lot of things..I used to watch F1 just because I like seeing fast cars and listening to the engines roar..and it used to be highlights and not full races as it obviously bored me in the end..later on when i learnt about drafting, the different strategies for pitstops and the various terms used (like for tires i didnt know initially what soft medium hard were supposed to exactly mean) i got more engaged in motorsport overall and not just F1...its crazy how it changed and so i think its natural..the more u learn the more interesting it gets..just need to use that opportunity tho...
F1 was fine without netflix in most countries other than the US
I appreciate what DTS is trying to do and I can live with some sound effects, but I had a real issue with fake storylines and drama. I guess it's fine if you don't follow the sport, but I felt a little like I was being gaslighted when I was watching it.
It got way worse in sesson 3 and 4 with the fake rivalries
The first seasons were very mild fake drama. This new season is the worst so far, 80% of the stuff they say is fake
I think existing fans might hate the drama and forced reality TV of DTS, but regular people wouldn't be as bothered. I can't stand DTS, I find the entire thing a little much, especially when they are about recent events. But, I am glad other people are enjoying it. I much prefer the tone that of the short documentary segments produced by Top Gear about motorsport, they are less about human drama, and more about passion.
Great episode Noles. "Drive to Survive" got my 50 year old ass into F1. I honestly didn't know why Donut Media was so in love with a mostly European backed race scene over some more local American scenes like Indy, Score, Nascar, etc. Netflix really embraced the adrenalin using great POV onboard cameras. I can't wait to see the dramatized buildup and aftermath of "Max touching Lewis's illegal rear wing" debacle from this season.
It’ll be funny to see how much they play it up. If there’s not a super duper slow mo of him reaching towards it with an explosion sound when he touches it, I’ll be disappointed.
If you're 50,then I recommend you to know more about the F1 Drivers of your Era as well,like Senna,Prost,Mansell...
@@jiyanmehta7250 Gotta say, Formula 1 was a rich man's sport. I grew up and remain on the Canadian prairie where hockey and mma were the only popular spectator sports. Jaques + Gilles Villeneuve were of course household names. The CBC would broadcast racing if we had a potential homegrown champion in F1 or Indy. Our local motorsports was top fuel drag cars (which was $$$$$) , dirt track oval, snowmobile oval which all were kinda boring. Left turns or straight line 1/4 mile.(yawn)
Things are changing, kids now have an indoor Karting track. I always appreciated the top level drivers/team engineers/techs. And the Netflix series was the first inside view of the F1 world. It was silly not to do a reality based series 10 years earlier.
Request : Up to Speed on Williams Racing.
Rip sir frank
Happy 200th episode of wheel house congrats to all of the team involved in it and big ups to nolan for keeping us entertained
Love you guys. Congrats on 200. You make me happy.
Official F1 youtube channel also deserves mentioning. I don't know how much effort it takes to make videos they make, but it is excellent, on-time, sometimes educational and historic.
Wheelhouse is the only reason I look forward to Mondays. Congratulations on 200! Been here for every one
Thank you Adam!!
It’s very double to me. Sure DTS has been very good for the sport and it’s following, but part of the following has become so toxic since DTS..
Truuue
I'm glad it's not only me who thinks this... the days of a good post race debate as a neutral are disappearing.
F1 community has always been toxic, it one of things best things about the sport.
@@rhyswilliams4893 Yeah same, I'm a Lewis fan, and I remember back during the Nico and Lewis rivalry, the fans weren't nearly as toxic even though the rivalry was a lot more toxic. Yeah people liked making fun of the other fans and would argue why one driver was better than the other, but not to the extend of today. Nowadays many of the fans are so radical and say such stupid remarks out of their feelings instead of logic and facts.
@@garythefishable it's never been like it is now? You could have a debate about the sport without the mud slinging. The teams themselves have always been at each other but thats be cause they are competing.
I just recently caught up on all 200 episodes. Congrats dude! Fantastic series that answers so many questions i really never thought to ask!
Congrats on 200! love the show, watch it every week!
Nolan! Thank you and everyone at Donut for everything you guys do! I wish there were more youtube channels that are this entertaining as well as educational for all the hobbies I'm interested in hahaha! Anyway. Thank you for giving me the confidence to get into cars and purchase my first project car (1978 Ford Bronco). You guys are literally amazing and make cars way more approachable and I cant thank you enough for helping find my new favorite hobby! Also Congrats on 200! Cant wait for the next 200!
Congratulations on making it to 200 videos!
Congrats yall....your channel is amazing and has made me realized how awesome the 90's cars are and how much I want one ...love everything you guys do
Many salutations from Greece!!! I travel a lot on the road due to work and past gas has been my one and only option to listen to every single trip :D
Congrats guys! (Random FYI.. I actually miss Bart. His goofy science antics grew on me. Hopefully he is well and still around behind the scenes of Donut.)
he's left donut. for good.
As a long time F1 fan I can't say I enjoyed DTS. But I welcome all the new fans to the sport, the series has done an incredible job.
Congrats on 200. It’s amazing how far you guys have come
This is my favorite series on here since the first era of UTS ended. Congrats on 200 and heres to 200 more!
I haven't watched DTS but oddly enough I started watching F1 this year mid season. It was a combination of watching an old video of Lewis Hamilton on TopGear, watching RUSH, and hearing that F1 is coming to Miami.
I has a very similar way of getting interested in F1, though over 2 years ago now. It was watching interviews with Hamilton and Ricciardo being interviewed on The Daily Show w/ Trevor Noah. It's crazy how the little videos out there can get us so invested in F1!
@@cmac907 In a really roundabout way, Drive to Survive had a hand in getting you interested - Danny Ric's interview w/ Trevor only happened because of DTS (could've sworn that was one of the first questions Trevor asked in the interview, if we're talking about the same video)
@@awijaya2116 Oh dang...that is true huh. Up until now I just took it as Trevor was a longtime F1 fan (which is true), but I also remember that question being asked up front. It's just ironic that I'm not too interested in DTS itself (I think I'm still on Season 2). Thanks for the brain blast! 😂
Congrats Nolan and team! You guys sure have come a long way! Love the content as always! Man, Nolan looked REALLY young in that first episode, lol!
Congrats on 200th episode guys ..you guys are brilliant ..please never stop makin videos cuz v freakin love ur content ..
Good job Nolan! I felt the passion and emotion similar to how James becomes emotional just watching this.
Gratz on the 200th.

netflix does a horrible job portraying F1. My recommendation to anyone who really wants to know the sport is by watching the actual races and watching videos from Tommo, Driver 61, WTF1 etc. great videos and not cringe like netflix at all.
Well yes but if it wasn’t for them f1 wouldn’t get as popular as it is now
And even donut they give you a good understanding of the sport
@@Juanguar it was only in America F1 wasn't popular
Did you even watch the video?
@@kingkhoma8669 nah
It’s everywhere
F1 was a niche but now it’s more mainstream
Day 206 of asking Donut to bring old B2B back
That's alot of days
i remember watching F1 in the 90's with my dad, and even got to watch senna's crash, my dad was a really hardcore fan, but after sometime i just dropped it and stopped watching it, then time went by and there was a ton of new racing teams and new names i've never hard of
enter drive to survive, my younger brother showed to me late 2020 and because MR C was going around acting like crazy we binge watch all 3 seasons just in time for the 2021 f1 season, dude! it was awesome! it has the drama, the names the teams everything really well explained!
we became also big fans of F1 too, and abu dhabi! men! i've never screamed and cheered so hard like that day!
Congrats on the 200!!!! Absolutely awesome!
Well... this aged like fine milk
As a ''true'' fan I love to watch it, getting me hyped for the new season
CONGRATS BOYS!!! i love what you you do and keep "em coming!!! thanks for all you have done!
I am one of those. My son was always into F1 but never talked about it. Then I saw DTS and I was hooked. This year we were in Austin with, as you said, 400,000 of our closest friends in pretty hot conditions. Loved every minute!
Gotta say that Keeps advert was fucking folded gold 😂😂😂
HAPPY EPISODE 200! Wheelhouse has zoomed past Up To Speed in episode amounts ever since it was gone..
I'm glad he threw a shout out to Bart. Nolan remembers how far he's come and acknowledges who helped him.
Love your work Nolan!!
Your sincerity and relaxed but informative presentation style makes it a joy to watch 😀
I gotta say DTS sparked my interest in F1, i was really only watching nascar, but the insane engineering and cost it takes to build and race them cars is unbeleavable, good shout out to Donut on educating the masses on how f1 is set up. Drive to survive i have binged each season since 2018. too hot for tv
I can thank Formula DTS for reinvigorating my passion for the sport of Formula One racing. I'm personally stoked for season 4.
Go Lewis!
GO MAX!! 😎☝️
Oh boy... You're gonna love season 4.

Happy 200 Nolan!!! Nice that you remembered Bart miss him in science garage.
I grew up watching motogp and f1 with my dad , so I knew about the sport and followed a little bit but after watching drive to survive it made me enjoy the sport way more and even start playing f1 on my racing simulator .
Yes it’s over the top , but it’s a very well done series , the editors probably deserve a raise to pull some stories and make interesting out of thin air
Please do up to speed with the unicycle
On the other hand DTS make F1 community to become toxic and lot of troll, anyway congrats on 200
Been watching F1 for years. Also love DTS it shows a lot of behind the scenes that doesn't get published or spoken about by team principals or drivers.
Keep up the good work. Love these and love the passion you guys have and share
I'll gladly admit drive to survive got me into f1 2 years ago on a business trip 👍
These days “OGs” will shoot you down if you say you watch f1 because of dts
I swear uncle Jerry saying "thanks to keeps" is my sleep paralysis demon
It annoys the bloody bullcrap out of me.
My first ever formula 1 race I watched was the one in Monza, the one Daniel Riccardo won, after watching DTS Season 3.... haven't missed a race since and in a way watching F1 helped me discover this channel
I’m one of those people that really got into F1 because of DTS! The 2021 season is the first ever season I’ve watched and I even flew out to Texas and went to the race!! One of the best experiences ever!

This was a GREAT 200th episode!
RIP Senna. Thanks for the years of enjoyment when I was a kid… and for making the NSX the car it needed to be!
Day 1 of asking for y'all to stay just the same and do nothing different because we love the hell out of you.
I can credit nearly all of of my current car knowledge and interest to you guys and I've never been happier.
facts. it all started here.
Wheel house is my favorite to watch on y’all’s channel. Thank you Nolan!
DTS made me a forever f1 fan! My first full season was the 2021 season now tuning into every GP and qualifier for the 2022 season
F1 was fine. 'How Netflix got the USA hooked on the already massive F1' more like
err no, if Ecclestone keep doing his shit, F1 would've died by now
Yeah, um I guess entertainment went too far *cough* Abu Dhabi title decider
Happy 200 thanks for the videos💯💫
Congratulations on 200.!!
F1 is life ❤
Covid stole my last f1 experience with my father before he passed, I now watch every race an practice religiously.
I love your content but I can't help but get mildly infuriated when you guys have video titles like this.
Blame the algorithm. The more click baity the title the more it gets promoted. You usually see channels change the title after the first day or even a few times to try to get more visibility.
@@davehoffman515 I've noticed Donut do that a lot, but yea I understand why. The title now seems pretty accurate, what was it before?
Not only the title, but content in this video is really shit!
@@parthvashisht528 then don't watch?
@@parthvashisht528 we can agree to disagree i guess lol I don't understand what's shit about an accurate analysis of F1s recent revival
Congrats Eclair Production for the 200th episode of “House of Wheels”! 😄
F1 has really become one of the best sports in the world in the past few years and especially with the season we just had! I was never into watching racing but I got into watching people play F1 2020 and then I started watching DTS and loved every minute of it which got me into watching every race now!! Great video!!
Congrats on 200 🎉🎉🎉🎉
It didn't , it accelerated what was already the world's most famous and prestigious motorsport into the modern age
It broke into America. Which some people consider the whole world.
@@rhyswilliams4893 I agree
I think DTS really helped them in the US market, and allowed old faithful fans who grew up with it, get an extra perspective and BTS video. The drama is a bit excessive, and IMO this joke of season FIA wise is a result of Netflix and Masi desire to make it more “entertaining”. At the end of the day, I wouldn’t say it saved it from itself. It’s just technical, and if you don’t LOVE racing, it just wouldn’t be your thing and it would have survived with just being that.
I'm here because of DTS - I'm on the second season trying to get it all in before March and I'm hooked... I used to work in sports media and I didn't know the ins and outs of the sport so it didn't mean anything to me when Lewis got his 200th pole or whatever. But now that I know the story of the teams and drivers it's interesting!
Growing up, I only knew about F1 from the car magazines coverage of Micheal Schumaker, I never saw races, I had never even heard of Ayrton Senna or Niki Lauda. DTS was my first real opportunity to connect with the modern grid, the teams, drivers and circuits. It gave a face to the name and greatly increased my hunger for all things F1. So hats off to all involved, and congrats to Nolan on 200!!
Yep, putting Ellie Norman in charge of the whole marketing was a genius move. You see F1’s new logo? That’s her doing. Trying to get Americans more involved in the sport with Netflix? Yep, her too. She paved the way to give more access to the drivers using today’s electronic tools. Fan base hasn’t been this high due to all the electronic means.
F1 has always been internationally known. Only now more Americans are aware since they’re presented more like a “reality tv” spotlight.
I’ve always been a fan since I first got here to Canada. Back when you actually have to get up super early to catch race since there were no pvrs. We barely had cable to capture the tv feed. 😝
I hated drive to survive because of all the toxicity it brought to an already toxic fan base. Now I love it, Im glad all those people came to enjoy this wonderful sport and Im glad F1 got the publicity in the US that is deserved. Plus it gave us a behind the scenes I had never seen in 11 years of watching it.
The toxicity is becoming unbearable. The joys of a good post race debate is almost impossible to have these days.
@@rhyswilliams4893 That is true, but remember the Vettel days. People hated the guy and would criticize every single thing he said. I think this toxicity will calm down a bit within 2 seasons once people start settling down
@@brayan_m I hope so. Getting called stupid/clueless/salty by someone who's entire f1 knowledge comes from DTS is just laughable ATM
@@brayan_m People hated Vettel for a reason because he acted like an insufferable teen who whined when things didn't go his way. One specific one was Vettel insisting on getting the new front wing which should have been Webbers because it was Mark's turn. Vettel complained until RB relented. There was another incident when he brake tested Alonso at the Italian GP and got a penalty. When he was ok with team orders as long at it benefitted him but refused to do the same when asked to let Webber pass. Or did you forget Multi 21? Multi 12 was called on Webber plenty times but Vettel refused when it was his turn. There was a reason Vettel was criticized and much of those were valid.
Not just getting new people into F1, but also bringing back old spectators and their friends, too!
I didn't watch DTS, but one of my best friends did. I also used to be a F1 spectator until around 2012. Because I now had a friend who likes F1, I also have someone to talk about it with, which brought me back into the sport!
Congratulations on 200 man! This episode speaks truth. Drive to survive is the only reason I got into F1 after a long break from watching Nascar. Would be interesting to see if Nascar follows.
