“It’s lights out and away we go!” yet again as Netflix has dropped the trailer for Formula 1: Drive To Survive Season 4. The 10-episode annual documentary is scheduled to air on March 11, just a week before the first race of the season in Bahrain.
Fans of Formula One are eager to see what took place behind the scenes during one of the most memorable and controversial seasons in the history of motorsports. As expected, plenty of attention will be focused on the season-long duel between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton and their teams, Red Bull Racing and Mercedes.
This includes the crashes at Monza and Silverstone, a hefty fine on Verstappen for touching Hamilton’s car in the pit area and, of course, Toto Wolff destroying banging his headset a few dozen times.
Apart from the championship drama, the series will explore the dynamics between the two Ferrari drivers: Carlos Sainz and Charles LeClerc. Along with Esteban Ocon’s sensational victory at the Hungaroring, aided by a sensational defence put by teammate Fernando Alonso.
“You have to stay tuned to the new series because I’ve just had the possibility to see it and it would be fantastic. And with the right tone and, as you can imagine with what has happened last year, there will be a lot of action on. So that’s good.” F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali was quoted saying during a conference call with investors last week.
As expected, fans of the docu-series have not held back their reactions. Here are some of our favourites:
