Lights Out and Away We Go

Formula One 2021

Director: Kathleen Bu — Committee Type: Crisis Committee

It’s 2021 and the stakes are higher than ever. 

Returning from a devastating shutdown due to COVID-19 the season before, 20 drivers from all around the world are beyond buzzing to get their hands on the wheel. From a calendar spanning over 23 races and 5 continents, from the rough corners of Belgium, the historical race of Monaco, and the blazing heat of Qatar, this season proves to be relentless and unforgettable. Drivers and teams are pushed to their limits, competing for the ever-glorious World Drivers Championship all while dealing with new FIA regulations, whispered contract negotiations, a spiraling rumour mill, and an audience that is hungrier than ever. Which teams will come out victorious, and which will be left watching from the pit lane?

It’s lights out, and away we go.

  • For years, Lewis Hamilton has dominated the tracks, winning championship after championship. Is this the year another driver finally takes the crown away from the reigning champion? From eager new drivers to seasoned veterans, everyone is grappling at the chance to finally stand on the top step of the championship podium, but how far are these drivers really willing to go, how much are they willing to risk?

  • New rules shake the paddock, and every turn of a screw, a bump in the carbon fibre could change the championship. From a new and controversial team cost cap sparking whispers of secret loopholes, to restrictions on car design fueling the accusations of spying between teams, these regulations promise closer racing. But, with so much on the line, who will follow the rules…and who is willing to bend them to win?

  • The cameras are rolling 24/7, nothing is off the table. Netflix is breathing down the backs of these 20 drivers, capturing every argument, secret alliance, and behind the scenes conversation, nothing and no one is safe from the limelight. How these drivers act off the track will make or break their reputations. Which drivers will step into the spotlight, and which will be left in the shadows?.
