It’s all about speed, thrill and high-octane action not just in real but on screen too. The seventh season of the hit Netflix show Formula 1: Drive to Survive premiered on the streaming platform on March 7, a week before the season opener Australian Grand Prix. As the fans of the motorsport have waited impatiently for the new season, Netflix gave a tease about the 10 episodes and what they would be all about.
What Drive to Survive season 7 will touch upon
Catching a glimpse of the episode titles makes it clear that a tonne of action is not just expected on the track but in the lives of the F1 drivers too. While Lewis Hamilton’s announcement of quitting Mercedes doesn’t go down well with team boss Toto Wolff, his move to Ferrari also keeps the town talking. Lando Norris and Max Verstappen’s tug of war for the champion’s title also forms the subject of an episode and more.
Interestingly, the spotlight is not just on a few names like Hamilton, Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc and George Russell. The show also takes the viewers inside teams like Alpine, McLaren, Williams, Red Bull and others and gives them an uninterrupted view of all that happens off the track.
