COUNTDOWN TO CONTROVERSY
It's that time of the year again – when Netflix drops the latest series of its super-popular F1 soap opera Drive To Survive.
The full package will go live on Wednesday, that's March 7, ahead of the first race of the 2025 season at Albert Park.
That's just two days from now.
Talk topics are obvious: Lewis Hamilton's defection from Mercedes-AMG to Ferrari, Sergio Perez's dismal season at Red Bull Racing and the end of Daniel Ricciardo's F1 career following an underwhelming run at the Racing Bulls.
But how will the Netflix crew cut it, and shape it, to create the annual must-watch series for grand prix fans – and newcomers to the F1 world?
"You cannot underestimate the mental pressure," says Claire Williams, herself a former team boss at Williams Grand Prix," in the teaser.
Is she talking about the racing, the personalities, the work by the editors, the questions for the journalists, or just the work of the camera crews?
We don't have long to wait.
You can find the first teaser at YouTube or or at Formula 1.com
