The American political commentary doesn't really hit, but honestly nothing did with Trump being a caricature incarnate. The British commentary and humor still hits though.
This is by far the weakest season, if it weren't for the cool intimate looks behind the scenes I would not be watching it. The show's format in season 1 worked well to introduce laypersons to the sport, but continuing that now completely disjoints the true storylines . For example, episode 2 was complete nonsense, how are you going to completely ignore Charles smashing into the barrier in Monaco and just say "o he's out with a gearbox issue". The show needs an overhaul and probably try episodes being race focused instead of character focused so everything makes sense chronologically, otherwise it's absolute chaos and half truths, you don't know when the highs and lows are for each of the drivers and teams.
Edit: Episode 7, Ocon's win, no mention of Alonso defending against Hamilton to keep him behind Vettel and Ocon. It's unconscionable to be this lazy with story telling.
I hope everyone that wanted a second season is happy with this shitfest they got. Dropped at 2x07.
