Daniel Ricciardo to make Hulu show as Max Verstappen lift his Netflix boycott
McLaren driver Daniel Ricciardo has a new fictional F1-based TV series which will be shown on the Disney-backed channel, Hulu.
There hasn’t been much information regarding Ricciardo’s new project but the Australian will be executive producer, while American film and TV production company Temple Hill Entertainment is involved.
It’s a fictional F1 TV series,” Ricciardo said. “So, I would say, think Ballers or Entourage in the world of F1. “I teamed up with Temple Hill, they know what they’re doing in that field. I’ve got my full trust in them.
“But I’m basically going to act as its executive producer, try to – where I can – steer the ship a little.”

Given F1’s boom with Drive to Survive, it comes as no surprise that other streaming services want to get involved.
Seven-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton is working on a documentary series with Apple TV, centred around the British driver.
Additionally, Apple is working on a movie starring Brad Pitt, with Hamilton set to be involved.

“With Lewis’ thing, if anyone’s thinking of it like competition or something, it’s not at all,” Ricciardo added. “Obviously with what he’s doing, with Hulu and me and Netflix and all that, I think it’s cool that we’re using the growth – or the pace of growth – of Formula 1 to get into projects like this and push the sport out.
“In a way I see it as like we’re all supporting each other to support the sport.”
