Let Netflix’s Formula One Racers Drive Straight Into Your Heart

No plans this weekend? Well, get ready to start your engine because we have the binge-watch you’ll speed your way through.

Netflix’s Formula 1: Drive to Survive—which offers an intimate behind-the-scenes look at the drivers of the Formula One World Championship—is arguably one of the most gripping docuseries in recent history, revealing rivalries, covering crashes and deep-diving into the racers’ personal lives. And its finally back for its fourth season, which dropped on March 11, and details arguably the sport’s great showdown in recent history between seven-time champ Lewis Hamilton and young challenger Max Verstappen. (Though true fans may be even more excited to watch the Toto Wolff vs. Christian Horner rivalry.)

Sure, the public already knows how the 2021 season ended and who won, but that has never stopped the series from being one of the online streaming giant’s most successful releases, Drive to Survive ranking No. 1 for TV shows worldwide last March after season three dropped, according to FlixPatrol. 

“It’s quite unbelievable, people’s reactions,” executive producer Paul Martin told The New York Times of the overwhelming response. “Our show only works because, actually, the sport’s an incredible spectacle. It is incredibly dramatic and tense. There’s mistakes, and there’s huge characters. Our show only shines a light on what’s there.”
