One Formula One driver was not happy with Netflix because over what they decided to do during the Miami Grand Prix.

On Sunday, McLaren star Oscar Piastri claimed his fourth Grand Prix race win of the season at the Miami Grand Prix, finishing ahead of teammate Lando Norris and Mercedes driver George Russell.

As always, Netflix attended the race to capture footage for the popular Drive to Survive series which is released shortly before the start of the season each year, acting as a behind the scenes look at the season gone by.

But one driver was clearly not happy with the cameras being on him on Sunday as they looked to capture his immediate reaction to what was another tough outing this season.

Ever since his introduction to Alpine at the end of the 2024 season, Jack Doohan had been under considerable pressure, with many speculating that he would be shortly replaced by talented youngster Franco Colapinto which was officially confirmed on Wednesday.

Unfortunately for the Australian, things have only gotten worse as he has failed to impress the the opening six races of the season, and Miami was just another example of this.

After Saturday's sprint race didn’t go to plan with a Q1 exit and P16 finish, Doohan needed a big performance on Sunday to salvage his weekend, but failed to do so after colliding with Liam Lawson on the first lap, leading to him retiring from the race.

In the wake of the performance, it appears to be all but confirmed that Colapinto will take Doohan's seat for the next race at the Imola circuit, and Doohan clearly knew it as he was spotted becoming upset at Netflix as they immediately crowded him after Sunday's disaster.

Speaking on The Race F1 Podcast, journalist Scott Mitchell-Malm revealed: “I think he got told off in public view by Oli Oakes in hospitality, it’s certainly what I was seeing.

“And I think he was also getting a bit upset at the fact that the Netflix cameras descended on him on the way back straight away and were quite in his face.

“The Netflix cameras also chased Oakes out of the paddock on Sunday evening as he left a bit early to go and get the flight.

“So, there was a lot of attention on the Alpine camp this weekend and it doesn’t mean there’s definitely going to be a change, but having been told on the record and off the record a couple of races ago that Doohan was safe for a bit longer certainly until the summer, it now looks like a change is back on the agenda after all.”
