Formula 1: Drive to Survive is a television documentary series produced in a collaboration between Netflix and Formula One, to give a behind-the-scenes look at the drivers and races of the Formula One World Championship. The series has received one season per year since 2019, and a total of six seasons have been released, with the latest season aired on 23 February 2024. A crossover event with Full Swing broadcast on Netflix in November 2023 called The Netflix Cup.

Production and concept

On 24 March 2018, Formula One announced that Netflix had commissioned a ten episode docu-series giving an exclusive behind the scenes look at the 2018 Formula One World Championship.[1][2] On 24 July 2019, Formula One announced that a second season would premiere in 2020 covering the 2019 Formula One World Championship, involving all 10 teams.[3][4]

The series is executively produced by James Gay-Rees and Paul Martin for the production company, Box to Box Films. Sophie Todd is the production's showrunner.[5]

Gay-Rees subsequently went on to reveal to The Fast Lane Podcast that Drive to Survive had originally been conceived as a series revolving solely around Red Bull Racing before it evolved into a series about F1 in general.[6]

Filming began for the 2020 season in March but was suspended until July due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[7]

Reception

The show has received recognition for the additional insight it offers fans,[9] and is credited with attracting new audiences (particularly American) to the sport.[10][11][12] The condensing of season-long themes into single-episode narratives has drawn praise for adapting "the natural drama of a racing season into a narrative that can encourage a fan to tune into the real thing."[13]

However, Drive to Survive has been criticized for including fake or misplaced commentary and team radios,[13][14][15][16] staging certain scenes,[13][17][18] placing undue importance on test and practice sessions,[16][17] and over-dramatizing or misrepresenting certain events and relationships within the Formula One paddock.[14][16][19] The continued criticism from both audiences and drivers led to discussions between Netflix and team managers and between Formula One and drivers.[20]

Max Verstappen notably refused to participate in interviews for seasons 3 and 4 as he believed that the show dramatized some drivers by portraying them as villains and that the show manufactured fake rivalries.[21][22][23] However, Verstappen confirmed his participation in season 5 after reaching an agreement with the producers to "keep it real".[23][24][25]
