Set your alarm clocks: the newest series of Drive to Survive is arriving March 7.
Just in time for the launch of the 2025 Formula 1 season, Netflix confirmed on Friday that the seventh installment of the documentary-style show — that gets audiences inside the garage and amidst the sport’s biggest stars — will debut in one month.
“New season, fresh rivalries,” Netflix‘s X account said in the post.
Since its 2019 debut, Formula 1: Drive to Survive has been met with critical acclaim, many putting the hundreds of thousands of new F1 fans down to the series’ impact. The program follows the 10 teams competing for the Constructor’s Championship, as well as the 20 drivers — Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris included — competing for the driver’s prize.
In recent years, Red Bull have consistently dominated, handing Verstappen four back-to-back World Drivers’ Championships. But things started to shake up in the latter half of last season when Norris and the McLaren team fought back and put the pressure on. While Verstappen still nabbed the Drivers’ Championship, McLaren won the Constructor’s.
The seventh season will no doubt spotlight Leclerc’s win in his native Monaco, Norris fumbling his first WDC and Carlos Sainz’s search for an F1 seat after Hamilton’s shock move to Ferrari.
Viewership figures from Netflix last year showed that 2.9 million people watched the sixth season during the first three days in February 2024.
From Box to Box Films, Netflix has tried to repeat the Drive to Survive effect with sport shows like Full Swing and Break Point.
