F1 | Netflix Announce 'Drive to Survive' Season 2 Release Date

[Paul Jeffrey]

The start date for the second season of the popular F1 series 'Drive to Survive' has been confirmed by Netflix...

... and it is set to air this February 28th.

Produced by Box to Box Films, giving viewers unprecedented access to the world of Formula One, the original Drive to Survive series very quickly proved a hit with both insiders and fans alike, so much so that Liberty Media were quick to sign up the company for a second series - following the Formula One field throughout the highs, and lows of the 2019 Grand Prix season.

The original series, filmed during the 2018 season, would have two significant omissions from the Formula One grid - with both title protagonists Mercedes and Ferrari declining to be involved in the new show. However, for season 2, both teams have granted Netflix full access to their respective championship challenges, potentially opening up some explosive footage from behind the scenes as Lewis Hamilton secured his sixth World Title success - and Ferrari once again found a way to implode when the odds were beginning to look firmly in their favour following the conclusion of pre-season testing.

Drive to Survive Season 2 will air in full HD on the Netflix subscription service, from February 28th 2020.

Been waiting for this...watching the Ferrari camp from Canada onwards should make for some interesting viewing.

 

[robopirate]

Great, so we'll be able to watch Ferrari fail at strategy again much sooner than I thought we would be.

 

[Dave Stephenson]

GuntherCam please

 

[Ricoow]

This is good

 

[Alex Townsend]

Cannot wait

 

[roguk]

Great news can`t wait loved season 1.

 

[wombat999]

Meh.

My biggest takes from last season were that Steiner is a legend and Horner is a bellend.

I hope Ferrari get alot of airtime this season, plenty of drama there while the non-battle between Ham and Bottas was hardly Prost v Senna.

 

[Nick Hill]

Awesome news! I'm not the only one saying this, but I think Drive to Survive is possibly the best marketing F1 has ever done.

 

[Brendan24]

Looking forward to it! I love how this show has even got some people who aren't big racing fans to watch and take interest in F1. A few of my friends who aren't really into racing watched the first season, and I watched it together with my dad!

 

[daceaki]

I think they should give Helmet Marko some airtime Straight talking is fun

 

[captain flat spot]

Nice. The first season got my girlfriend interested. Like game of thrones but in another setting =) She watched over 50 % of the races with me

 

[RichardHessels]

It's a great series, giving some otherwise never to be seen footage about the massive operations behind the scenes. Love how they light up midfield battles that are not interesting enough for regular airtime.

Jack Nicholls, Ben Edwards, David Croft et al must have been very busy the last month or so, then, re-recording their original commentaries for each race to better suit the narrative of the respective episode.

Nice. The first season got my girlfriend interested. Like game of thrones but in another setting =) She watched over 50 % of the races with me

First season got my wife interested. So after 4-5 races she was watching 2019 alone.
But anyway, this is as others said, the best marketing F1 could have done for itself.

Say wut?? Netflix advertisement @ RD?

 

[Filip Carlén]

The Mercedes episode gonna be... interesting. They chose the German GP to be followed by Netflix. Gonna be fun to see how that race looked like from "behind the scenes"

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

Love how they light up midfield battles that are not interesting enough for regular airtime.
