The Birth of an F1 Driver
Overview
Fu Films served as offline editor on a documentary series following Yuki Tsunoda during a turbulent Formula 1 season with Scuderia AlphaTauri.
The series documents a year defined by performance pressure, internal team dynamics, and the demands placed on a young driver competing at the highest level of international motorsport.
Constructed from season-long behind-the-scenes material, interviews, race footage, and DAZN archive content, the films balance the spectacle of Formula 1 with a character-driven examination of progression under scrutiny.

Post-Production
Fu Films handled the offline edit on two of the six episodes, shaping narrative structure and pacing across a hybrid mix of observational material, race coverage, and retrospective interviews.
A key production requirement was rapid turnaround following the conclusion of the Formula 1 season, ensuring the series remained temporally relevant for audiences. The editorial process operated within a compressed schedule while maintaining structural clarity and tonal consistency across the broader series arc.
