Now we have Drive to Survive Season 4 due for release shortly.....
F1 confirms season four of Drive to Survive will launch on March 11th
The fourth season of Netflix’s Formula 1 documentary Drive to Survive will arrive on the platform on March 11th, the series has confirmed.
This means the new series will launch one week prior to the start of the 2022 season opener in Bahrain.
As was the case for the previous three seasons, the latest instalment will run across a total of 10 episodes.
Series produces Box to Box filmed behind the scenes footage throughout the 2021 F1 season, which saw the closest championship fight since the series began, between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton.
However Verstappen, who clinched the title in a controversial end to the season in Abu Dhabi, said last year he would not co-operate with the makers of Drive to Survive. The Red Bull driver said the programme makers “faked a few rivalries which they don’t really exist” and had not given any interviews to them.
Other drivers said they were satisfied with their portrayals in Drive to Survive. Verstappen is expected to feature in the series, however, as Box to Box have the rights to use footage filmed by Formula 1 Management during race weekends.
F1 said the new series of Drive to Survive will “delve into fierce team rivalries, unexpected podiums, and the intense title battle between Mercedes and Red Bull as the pressure reaches an all-time high both on and off the grid.”
Not my cup of tea and I dont think I got past episode 2 or 3 last year, but no doubt I will give it a go. Im sure that there will be at least one episode that I can stomach. Interesting Max refused to take part by being interviewed for it, believing it to basically be over dramatic and contrived. Im with Max. Im sure Max will be in it given Netflix has access to all the footage and how they edit it is I guess their decision.To me its all overhyped drama queen stuff to appeal to F1's new target market.
Im sure it will revolve around the dramas of Abu Dhabi and who should be shot etc. I have read and witnessed more dribble and crap discussion about that than I want to be reminded of. I have had enough of Sir Sulkypants and his boss, not to mention Karen Horner sat in his corner.
But dont let me spoil your enjoyment of it.
Hopefully it will have me eating my words and raving about how good it is. Dont hold your breath though.
I seem to recall enjoying the Gunther bits in last years series..... but cant see that happening in this series as we barely heard from him all year.
