Perhaps this was aimed at people who don't follow F1. For those who do it was a superficial review of problems from a year ago.
Purportedly a behind-the-scenes look those shots were carefully planned and orchestrated.
We see some engineering outputs. Some carefully constructed sound bites. We don't see passion.
Given that MCLaren is now led by a marketing man perhaps we should have expected this approach. But I didn't feel any more connected with the team at the end of the four episodes than I did at the start.
That might also be why they have had trouble finding a title sponsor. Everyone knows what McLaren once was. It's not so clear what someone gets today.
Like the team, the documentary could have been a lot better.
