Drive to Survive is back for season 7, and it's absolute catnip to people like me who were converted to Formula One thanks to the hit Netflix show. It's even geared me up for a 4 a.m. GMT start for the Australian Grand Prix this weekend.

Netflix’s flagship sports docu-series F1: Drive to Survive will return for an eighth season. According to multiple persons attached to the project and the film crew spotted amongst the paddock in the pitlane for the Australian Grand Prix, we know that season 8 is a go.

The Netflix series' success relies on the invisible dance of boom mics and cameras capturing F1's paddock drama.

Mercedes F1 driver George Russell revealed he is more focused on his performance in the 2025 F1 season than Netflix's Drive to Survive.

Sports fans love an underdog story. But what happens when the sport itself becomes the underdog? That was the position that Formula One found itself in the late 2010s, as the motor sport – which had been running for nearly 70 years – fell towards the back of the pack.
