'Drive to Survive': Netflix sets release date set for season 2

Formula 1 has confirmed the release date for the second season of the highly acclaimed Netflix docu-series 'Drive to Survive'.

The ten-part series which chronicled the 2018 F1 season with an exclusive fly-on-the wall approach detailing the inner workings of Grand Prix racing was a tremendous success with the fans.

Therefore, the crews of production company Box to Box Films went behind the scenes again last year for a no-holds-barred look at F1.

'Drive to Survive' - season 2 will premier on Netflix on February 28.

The 2019 season which saw Lewis Hamilton secure his sixth world title offered an abundant collection of story-lines, a highlight of which was the epic German Grand Prix at Hockenheim.

The cameras were focused on Mercedes at the Silver Arrows squad's home race, and no doubt recorded some interesting stolen moments given the German outfit's defeat on that disastrous wet day.

But the inside account of Charles Leclerc's glorious triumph at Monza on Ferrari's home turf promises to be equally polarizing.

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
