The critically acclaimed hit show Drive to Survive drops its newest season on Netflix this week and the timing could not be any better. The seventh season continues to pull the curtain back on the Formula 1 season following along as new team lineups, management takedowns and fierce friendships battle it out to a glorious end. The new season will see 10 episodes and follow along as McLaren race to the finish and we get to see behind the scenes footage of what went on with Mercedes as Lewis Hamilton raced his final season for the legendary team.

With never before seen interviews from team principals and drivers, expect to see lots of differing perspectives on Lewis Hamilton’s decision to transition to Ferrari. One driver is even quoted as saying: “Good for Lewis, good for his bank account”.
McLaren vs. Red Bull
Another big surprise this season was seeing McLaren supersede Red Bull as the top team in Formula 1. What will make this more interesting is discovering the inner turmoil within the Red Bull team, particularly around Checo Perez’ drop off in performance as the year went on and Max Verstappen single handedly carrying the team while Lando Norris and the papaya put peddle to metal.
The new season of Drive to Survive drops March 7th on Netflix with ten episodes and will make for premier viewing as the 2025 F1 season prepares to kick off very shortly afterwards.
