Rev your engines, F1 fans – Netflix has officially locked in the release date for Season 7 of Drive to Survive!

The highly anticipated new installment of the hit docu-series will premiere on March 7, just one week before the 2025 F1 season roars to life at the Australian Grand Prix.

The series’ ten episodes will take fans deep inside the dramatic 2024 season – one filled with unexpected twists, fierce rivalries, and shocking headlines both on and off the track.

Max Verstappen and Red Bull, after a dominant start, faced a worthy challenge from McLaren and Ferrari, with seven different drivers taking the checkered flag over the course of the thrilling campaign – a first in F1 history!

The Dutchman ultimately clinched his fourth consecutive Drivers’ title, while McLaren grabbed their first Constructors' crown in 26 years.

Netflix has yet to reveal episode details, but the official poster sets the tone: Verstappen checking his rearview mirror as Norris and Charles Leclerc loom ominously behind, with the tagline “Watch your back.”

But last year’s drama didn’t stop on track. So, expect Drive to Survive to cover bombshell moments like Lewis Hamilton’s shock move to Ferrari, an explosive FIA controversy, and Verstappen’s public spat with George Russell.

Mark your calendars – March 7th is race week for Drive to Survive fans!

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.
