Tensions flare in trailer for new season of F1: Drive to Survive

Stephen Porzio

The acclaimed sports doc’s new season promises to be its “most dramatic” yet.

F1: Drive to Survive’s highly anticipated third season will roar onto Netflix later this month and on the strength of its new trailer it’s going to be well worth seeking out.

The exciting, tense teaser brings viewers closer to the Formula 1 action both in terms of incredible racing spectacle on the track and the racer rivalries behind the scenes.

The plot synopsis for the show’s upcoming season reads: “Fans will be given unprecedented behind the scenes access to the 2020 season which saw the sport dramatically halted in Australia due to the Covid-19 pandemic and making a thrilling restart in Austria later that year.

“Intense battles, fierce rivalries, unexpected podiums and Lewis Hamilton’s incredible seventh world title will ensure the series is one of the most action packed yet.”

The third season will be comprised of ten episodes and is executive-produced by filmmakers behind other acclaimed sports documentaries like Diego Maradona and Senna.

The trailer for the third season of F1: Drive to Survive can be viewed below, with the episodes hitting Netflix in Ireland on 19 March.

Meanwhile, check out JOE’s glowing review of the show’s previous seasons where we said “the temptation not to binge large parts of it in one sitting will test even the most strong-willed of viewers.”
