Could have been so much better

As "The Seat" (2025 release; 41 min) opens, the unthinkable is happening in the Formula 1 universe: Lewis Hamilton, the face of Mercedes and 7 time World Champion, is leaving Mercedes (and joined Ferrari), unleashing an unprecedented scramble to see which driver would get his seat. Enters 17 yo Italian Kimi Antonelli, an up-and-coming racer with exactly ZERO F1 experience...Couple of comments: this documentary, a co-production with WhatsApp (!), gives some quick impressions about what goes on behind the scenes of a top F1 team, but alas, it is done in such quick brushes that you can never really get into the minute details. I believe it took about 5 minutes in the documentary from the moment that Antonelli's name is mentioned to Antonelli being informed that indeed he will be getting the Mercedes seat. This decision pretty much stunned the F1 world, and of course it remains to be seen whether it was a stroke of genius or simply a wild and expensive gamble gone wrong. Netflix has had great success with the Formula 1: Drive to Survive documentary series (now in its 7th season). In contrast, "The Seat" feels rushed and is simply unfulfilling."The Seat" is currently streaming on Netflix. Whether you are a fan of F1 racing or simply a fan of the "F1 Drive to Survive" series, I encourage you to check out "The Seat", albeit with lowered expectations, and draw your own conclusion.

one big whatsapp advertisement.

Kimi Antonelli has a great life-story so far. But this video is a bit too constructed. With obviously scripted dialogue that is presented as "in the moment" and of course tons of whatsapp calls and whatsapp text messages and whatsapp voice messages.Kimi Antonelli has a great life-story so far.

Really solid pace

I'm a big fan of Drive to Survive, but this documentary has a far superior pacing. I really appreciate how much time is spent just living with this young driver, especially the scene with Bono where he's talking about his weight. So much of the short film breathes so well and feels far more intimate that DTS does sometimes.The interviews are beautiful, have great lighting and lenses. They utilize expert camera movements that were a lot more planned and careful than DTS feels at times.Overall, it's just wonderful to learn more about Kimi in this way. He's so likable and I can't wait to see more.
