Daniel Ricciardo: "Drive to Survive put F1 on the map in the US"

Formula 1 has never really been able to take the American market by storm but Renault driver Daniel Ricciardo believes that the 'Drive to Survive' Netflix series has put the sport on the map in the United States.

“I definitely feel F1 is becoming much more of a thing here in the States. Drive to Survive put it on the map,” Ricciardo said to Motorsport.com.

Not only has the documentary series helped grow an audience in America but also younger people have become more interested in the sport. Netflix are releasing season 2 of the show in a few weeks and it will be interesting to see if this helps increase the sports audience once again.
