one big whatsapp advertisement.

Kimi Antonelli has a great life-story so far. But this video is a bit too constructed. With obviously scripted dialogue that is presented as "in the moment" and of course tons of whatsapp calls and whatsapp text messages and whatsapp voice messages.Kimi Antonelli has a great life-story so far.

Really solid pace

I'm a big fan of Drive to Survive, but this documentary has a far superior pacing. I really appreciate how much time is spent just living with this young driver, especially the scene with Bono where he's talking about his weight. So much of the short film breathes so well and feels far more intimate that DTS does sometimes.The interviews are beautiful, have great lighting and lenses. They utilize expert camera movements that were a lot more planned and careful than DTS feels at times.Overall, it's just wonderful to learn more about Kimi in this way. He's so likable and I can't wait to see more.

WhatsApp ad on Netflix I paid for

This could've been a really highly rated short about the interesting progress to date of a young rising star, but the some of the content felt too constructed, and the WhatsApp calls/messages and pop-ups and bings throughout felt forced and were irritating and distracting and left me feeling more negative about WhatsApp.It has still raised his profile for me, and helps promote this season of F1 a bit by giving added dimensions to a new name on the starting grid, and he came across as likeable, confident and humble, it's just disappointing that I've had to come away with negative feelings about the film and the product it was hamelessly plugging (WhatsApp, not F1).
