F1 drivers defend Netflix series after Verstappen 'fake' snub
CNN
Leading Formula One drivers defended the popular Netflix "Drive to Survive" fly-on-the-wall series on Thursday after Red Bull's championship leader Max Verstappen said he was snubbing it because he felt some of the rivalries were "faked."
The docu-series, now filming its fourth season, has been credited as a big factor in fueling the sport's growth in the United States.
Dutch 24-year-old Verstappen earlier told the Associated Press that he recognized the importance of the series but did not like being a part of it and would not be giving any interviews.
President Joe Biden has given permission to Ukraine to strike inside Russian territory with American munitions, though he has restricted their use so Kyiv can only hit targets over the border close to Kharkiv after Russia made significant advances around the city in the northeastern part of the country close to the Russian border, two US officials told CNN.
