However, he suggested women are watching the sport on the basis of ‘great-looking drivers.’
In the interview, he said:
“I’ve watched it [Netflix’s Drive to Survive] and the latest season is just coming out.
“I’ve seen a preview of the first four episodes and this latest season is just insane because of the rivalry and things behind-the-scenes.
“You’ve got to remember they’re making a TV show as well, but for what it’s done for the sport it’s phenomenal.
“F1 is bringing in a young generation. It’s bringing in a lot of young girls because all these great-looking young drivers.”
In light of this, it has put the Red Bull team Principle under scrutiny on social media.
