In a recent exclusive interview with Formula1.com, Gay-Rees reflected on the impact of Drive To Survive and expressed his enthusiasm for the series' bright future.
He shared, “We are enormously proud to be a part of it. It feels like the first major access show, especially out of the UK, that has had this profound effect. Considering the changing younger demographic, it’s tough out there for any big organization to maintain its reputation amidst the abundance of consumer choices."
The thrilling series has acted as a brand-new window opening millions to the euphoria of F1, an achievement Gay-Rees finds "massively satisfying." He also takes satisfaction from the fact that its success was not a one-off event; the series has consistently grown with every season. Despite the challenges faced during its production, the team holds a deep affection for the process and the world it brings to life.
