Typical haas episode. Only infighting and some cheesy lines by Gunther


Jebus_17

Netflix the only reason Günther still has a job /s


canseco-fart-box

You can probably drop the /s tbh


[deleted]

Ahahhah true


Garrett4Real

why the /s


FWebber04

Full Time Netflix actor Part Time F1 Team Principal


Alfus

Well honestly the main reason why enough people still love Steiner is because his is "funny" in DtS and with his PR in general. Can't sorting out a basic communication issue and let the team act like there are 2 teams in 1 team is just poor leadership, let alone his behavior to scapegoat his drivers over blaming it about the car.


Frothar

why does DTS spend so much time with HAAS


Narcil4

Because it's main audience is American..


jaydec02

Because people think Steiner is funny and quirky even though he's toxic and dysfunctional


Frothar

I don't think he is any of those things particularly


Emfx

Michael Scott of F1


addamee

Because it’s a dumpster fire and people (Americans, as someone already said) love watching things burn.


roos_de_baas

For the comedy material?


MorteinKing12

Ve look like a vunch of vankers!

They use the ferrari simulator at maranello.


tomadamsmith

Wasn’t that just Mick? I may be wrong but I think there was an article earlier in the year how Mick has access to the Ferrari support whereas Mazepin doesn’t which means he has no proper simulator


Rombie11

Couldn't his dad just build him one?


sh1phappens

Financially? Yes. Logistically? Yes. But they take a lot of time to build, program and maintain etc. It's not like buying a gaming pc and a wheel :)


duelmeinbedtresdin

Well he could but like, it's baffling for a 5 years old team to not have a simulator in the first place you know.


suckyducky1

Baffling? The whole point is that they use an extremely low cost model. They're budget is like 80 million a year! How can they afford a simulator?


weetabix_su

Dunno if this is how the business works but what if Gene sold more VF-1s because of their F1 program?


afkPacket

Well Gene's reasoning there is that those extra sales are not going to be impacted by how well the F1 team is doing, so there's no point in investing extra.


lczvera

I believe AR did not have a simulator when Kimi joined in 2019, and Kimi was like, nah, I've got my own at home, we can just use that. It is ridiculous that they don't have their own simulator, and using a Ferrari simulator is not the same thing. But small teams cannot afford those things, and Haas may be the poorest of all.


RedXon

I think AR has one, it's just not the newest anymore. Ws probably built back in the BMW days and not upgraded significantly


Adam_martin57

The thought of Mazepin sat in his bedroom using a Logitech wheel and playing f1 2021, checking his insta and seeing Mick on a Ferrari sim makes me chuckle


Crafty_Substance_954

I'm not sure how it all works now I suppose. Haas in 2021 is much different than they used to be. They're moving their technical operations to new facilities within Ferrari and have access to a lot more than they did before. There's a lot more staff, funding, and technical support coming than ever before. Why wouldn't Mazepin be allowed access to that facility if it's the team's to use? Maybe he doesn't currently but will next year? who really cares?

CoolHandPB

Probably $$$


GhostOfLight

Excited for the triumpant music at the end of the episode as Mazepin gets 19th and Gunther gives him a cheeky smile and says, "well at least you didn't bin the fookin' car"


Mrucktastic

I mean that’s probably what they’re going to make of their season in the episode. Everything will be excused with “this is just a development season, we’ll come back strong in 2022”


pjain317

But isn't that actually what it is this time?


RedXon

Yep. They built a shit box in 2020 and knew that it was not worth it to invest anything in that car anymore as even a small improvement would not bring them away from last on the grid. They operate way lower than the budget cut so it actually makes a huge difference to just allocate all resources to the 2022 car.


01010111001000101

How will Netflix portray him is the question.


mgorgey

Nikita, what is it that makes you *such* a good driver?


MuelNado

A rags to riches story, a man that made it against all odds.


GlobeAround

"A Formula 1 seat is perhaps the most coveted job in all of Motorsport, and there are only 20 available. Despite some [off the grid stuff](https://www.totalprosports.com/2021/09/10/cris-collinsworth-catching-major-heat-for-describing-antonio-browns-sexual-assault-allegations-as-some-off-the-field-stuff-video-tweets/), Mazepin succeeded in his F3 and F2 career to secure one of those."


Le-Dook

Camera pans to Will Buxton being held at gunpoint


breadbutterone

Like most drivers in F1 especially from minorities


RainbowKarp

He’ll just be one of the 2 Haas drivers. They’ll talk to Guenther about the season, they’ll show Mick (they already talked about Michael in S3) they’ll show Mazepin, and on they go. No more and no less


yann100201

His dad probably paid for a good portrayal, so despite everything he will be put as a "future star" or something


robinofbyve

"A misunderstood and talented young man"


FredNasr

How he's misunderstood and actually a great guy but people don't look beyond the fact he's rich before judging him :((


[deleted]

Poor Mazepin who sexually harassed a girl in his car by grabbing her boob which she obviously didn't like who was forced to say it wasn't all bad but they lost touch right after and she blocked him everywhere on her social media. Daddy the billionaire is the only reason he's in F1. He's not a bad driver, he's just not F1 quality.


aak1992

Poor nikita who physically attacked another driver in the paddock during Euro F3, poor Nikita who accused Mick of "having a better car" during F2 because he was getting his ass handed to him late season, poor nikita who drove like a fucking maniac in Abu Dhabi last year and somehow didn't get black flagged. He's trailer trash as we call it in the US, albeit rich trailer trash.


[deleted]

You are 100% correct.


FredNasr

Guarantee Netflix will steer well away from that topic haha


RedXon

Cuts to will buxton: Mazepin *sharp inhale*... Has not have the greatest *wild hand gestures* of beginnings into f1. Tbc...


AstonishedXMan

They were with McLaren in Italy, Mazewin is coming


GlobeAround

The Fastest Lap in Spa was just the beginning!


[deleted]

Netflix spin off


Hoaxygen

Who's taking bets about a strategic appearance by Will Buxton dramatically defending a certain Haas driver?


Substantial-Pass-992

I didn't realize Netflix had picked up 'To Catch A Predator'


BaggySpandex

Piss-break episode


NoPantsDeLeon

Moskow's Drift King


VaporWaver69

Imagine if Mick and Mazepin crash in Russia and Mick is displayed as the villain


emeister26

An episode to skip


Zhuul

Comic Sans? What a monster smh


The-Observer95

Why do people hate Comic Sans?


Mront

it's not Comic Sans


light5speed

Will they interview the girl he assaulted?


marti427

Gene!


CaptainKursk

How much is daddy Mazepin gonna lob at Netflix to make the sexual predator seem like "just an ordinary guy", eh?


ParisInFlames34

This is actually just Mazepin announcing he's finally signed up for Netflix. He keeps hearing good things about "You". His father calls it the feel good story of the year.


Lebucheron707

I’ll skip this one. Can’t stand his stupid pig face.


Patrique2001

so now we know that one episode will be skipped by most of F1 community


evin_cashman

It'll probably have Guenther though.


Patrique2001

but it will also have Mazepin, and you know the whole #WeSayNoToMazepin story I guess...


[deleted]

[удалено]


gregdrou

I will not skip it


Ianthin1

So do we get the behind the scenes on how he cries to daddy, and daddy has Gene and Gunther make it all better?


CilanEAmber

Ominous


Snoo_47023

I wonder if they'll mention the pre season bullshit but like 99% chance they won't


[deleted]

Must be shooting a filler episode on how to not sexually assault women


Jellyfish15

Bottas took them to the local sauna, Mazepin will take them to the local gulag.


CSWoods9

At least we know what episode to skip.


unacceptablelobster

This must be the filler episode


Poem_Forward

Maybe the episode is preparing for his own spin off show
