Your support makes all the difference.For the seventh year running, Drive to Survive will air on Netflix as the cameras show behind-the-scenes access following the Formula 1 circus around the world.
Season seven will follow the trials and tribulations of a blockbuster 2024 F1 season, which started with huge drama as Lewis Hamilton’s 2025 move to Ferrari was announced.
There was also controversy surrounding defending champions Red Bull at the start of the year, with the investigation into boss Christian Horner (who was later twice cleared of any wrongdoing) and a divisive war of words between Horner and Max Verstappen’s dad, Jos.
Other memorable moments which are likely to feature in season 7 include McLaren’s ascent to constructors’ world champions, fan favourite Daniel Ricciardo being axed mid-season and Verstappen’s impressive charge to a fourth straight world title.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of season seven.
When will season 7 of Drive to Survive be released?
