The addition of Daniel Ricciardo to Renault brings him pressure, as Ricciardo is a proven race-winner. In Canada, Nico Hulkenberg tries to overtake Ricciardo for sixth, but Renault orders him to not overtake him. In the [[2019 French Grand Prix|French Grand Prix]] (Renault's home race), Ricciardo and Hulkenberg finish 7th and 8th respectively, but a five-second time penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage demotes Ricciardo to 11th. At the German Grand Prix, Ricciardo retires after his car has engine reliability issues. Nico Hulkenberg has a great chance of getting a podium in his home race, however, at the penultimate corner, his car crashes into the barriers.

| ShortSummary = The Williams team suffered their worst season ever in 2018. They want to not repeat the woes of last year for 2019. As part of their reconstruction, Williams have made significant changes in their departments, and deputy team principal [[Claire Williams]] hired renowned engineer [[Paddy Lowe]] as their chief technical director. For their driver lineup, they have hired the 2018 F2 champion and Mercedes junior driver [[George Russell (racing driver)|George Russell]], and [[Robert Kubica]], who used to be in Formula One but his career was interrupted by a car crash. However, there are many problems with the [[Williams FW42|car]] they are making, missing even basic things like wheel nuts. As a result, they are very behind schedule, and they miss the first two days of pre-season testing in trying to build the car. Paddy Lowe leaves the team after refusing to take responsibility for the woes of Williams. A few months later, at the British Grand Prix, Williams are at the bottom of the constructor's championship for the second season in a row. George Russell notes how the car feels awful to drive and that he is not really racing anyone else because the Williams car is very off the pace.

| ShortSummary = Prior the [[2019 Brazilian Grand Prix|Brazilian Grand Prix]], Alex Albon is confirmed to be driving for Red Bull for 2020. Since moving back to Toro Rosso, Gasly is performing well. Meanwhile, Carlos Sainz is having his best season so far, consistently scoring points. Carlos Sainz starts at the back of the grid in Brazil after having engine reliability issues in qualifying. Sainz fights his way through the grid. The safety car is brought out when Bottas retires, and the tension between Vettel and Leclerc finally erupts when they crash into each other and retire from the race. As a result, Albon and Gasly are elevated into 2nd and 3rd respectively, while Sainz has recovered to 5th. Lewis Hamilton, in 4th, first overtakes Gasly and tries to do the same with Albon, but he crashes into him, robbing Albon of his first F1 podium. Lewis Hamilton then fights Gasly for 2nd but fails as Gasly takes his first Formula 1 podium. Sainz finishes 4th.

Lewis Hamilton is penalized post-race, elevating Sainz to 3rd. As a result, Sainz takes a maiden podium. Instead of having the podium ceremony with Gasly and Verstappen, Carlos Sainz celebrates with McLaren, who have ended a podium drought that lasted five seasons. Lewis Hamilton is crowned a six-time World Champion. He celebrates this with the Mercedes team, who are for the sixth season in a row, the Constructor's championship. Nico Hulkenberg bids farewell to Renault and Haas resolve to get back to where they were in 2020.

In 2020, a lot of the driver's contracts will expire, and in [[2021 Formula One World Championship|2021]], a budget cap will be implemented to reduce the advantage of the top teams.

| ShortSummary = After several months without any races, Formula 1 has worked out a new, modified calendar. The season instead will start in [[2020 Austrian Grand Prix|Austria]]. The rivalry between [[Red Bull Racing|Red Bull]] and Mercedes heats up, as it is discovered that Mercedes has invented the [[dual axis steering]], an innovative system which would give Mercedes an advantage over the rest of the field. Mercedes are allowed to keep this system for the remainder of 2020, frustrating Red Bull. [[Alexander Albon|Alex Albon]], coming on the back of a strong 2019 season, aims to improve even further and help Red Bull in their fight for the Constructor's championship. At McLaren, [[Lando Norris]] wants to have a stronger second season and be closer to his teammate [[Carlos Sainz Jr]]. Mercedes dominate qualifying, occupying the front row of the starting grid, but Red Bull urge the [[Federation Internationale de l'Automobile|FIA]] to penalise [[Lewis Hamilton]] for ignoring yellow flags during qualifying. As a result, Lewis Hamilton will instead start in fifth. Albon seems to be on his way to getting a podium, but towards the end of the race, he collides with Hamilton, who is subsequently penalised for this incident. [[Lando Norris]], running in fourth, becomes aware of this penalty, hunts Hamilton down and sets the fastest lap of the race. This is enough to elevate Norris to his first podium in his Formula 1 career. Lando Norris celebrates his podium, while Albon reflects on his missed opportunity.

| ShortSummary = Formula 1 heads over to the [[2020 Russian Grand Prix|Russian Grand Prix]] as Mercedes driver [[Valtteri Bottas]] is repeatedly frustrated at finishing behind his teammate Lewis Hamilton. Bottas has a long history of being asked by Mercedes to let Hamilton through to benefit him in his title fights. Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton has a chance of matching Michael Schumacher's record of 91 career wins. In qualifying, Lewis Hamilton gets pole position, but Valtteri Bottas deliberately gives Max Verstappen's car an advantageous tow so that he will start 3rd (this would give him an advantage when the race starts). This upsets both Hamilton and Mercedes. Pre-race, Hamilton practises his starts as anticipation to this but ends up doing so outside the designated area. Hamilton manages to keep the lead from Bottas when the race starts. However, during the race, Hamilton is penalised with a 10-second penalty for his illegal practice starts. This hands Bottas an easy win, while Hamilton is only able to recover to third place. The Mercedes team express frustration at Hamilton's penalty but are still happy with the overall result.

After showing how important the relationship is between [[Guenther Steiner]] and [[Mattia Binotto]] for their respective teams, the [[2022 Formula 1 season]] opens with pre-season testing at the [[Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya]]. The teams and drivers all prepare their cars for the upcoming races. This year also marks the largest changes to the cars in many years. Controversy arises when [[Haas F1 Team]] drops its major sponsor [[Uralkali]] along with its sponsored driver [[Nikita Mazepin]] due to the [[Russian invasion of Ukraine]]. Haas brings back [[Kevin Magnussen]] after he was let go from the team back in 2020. Current World Champion [[Max Verstappen]] finally makes an appearance on the show after having declined to appear in previous seasons. In the early races many teams, especially the [[Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team]], have to deal with issues of [[Ground effect (cars)#Porpoising|porpoising]], a potential problem related to Ground Effect, which returned after having been banned in 1982. The first race, the [[2022 Bahrain Grand Prix]], is shown with both of the Red Bull cars losing power, [[Scuderia Ferrari]] achieving their first win in 910 days with their drivers [[Charles Leclerc]] and [[Carlos Sainz Jr.]] taking first and second place respectively and Kevin Magnussen achieving fifth place on his first outing back at Haas.

| ShortSummary = Mercedes' W13 Is put to the test at pre-season tests at Bahrain with [[Lewis Hamilton]] and new teammate [[George Russell (racing driver)|George Russell]] behind the wheel. However, the car exhibits an incredibly unpleasant drive with an excessive amount of porpoising. The team has noticed the issue and plans to work on it before further tests commence. However, for Mercedes, the issue seems to remain unfixed. Indeed, the issues are present coming to the races at [[2022 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix|Imola]], [[2022 Spanish Grand Prix|Spain]], and [[2022 Monaco Grand Prix|Monaco]], before arriving at the [[Baku City Circuit]] for [[2022 Azerbaijan Grand Prix|Azerbaijan]]. Lewis' back starts to exhibit pain as he goes down the straights of Baku as Max Verstappen takes home the victory with Lewis taking fourth. After the race, the team principals convene for a meeting, where [[Toto Wolff]] of Mercedes expresses his dismay and concern about the safety of the drivers. The [[2022 British Grand Prix|Silverstone]] round, which also coincided with [[Zhou Guanyu]]'s big crash coming into Abbey, finishes with Lewis taking third place and Carlos Sainz Jr. taking his first career victory in Formula One. Lewis, having questioned the possibilities of retirement following the 2021 season, announces he is here to stay with Mercedes.

| ShortSummary = The [[2022 Miami Grand Prix|first outing]] of the [[Miami Grand Prix]] is starting, and Ferrari looks to continue their successful streak starting from Bahrain and [[2022 Australian Grand Prix|Australia]] into Miami. Ferrari's two drivers Charles Leclerc - who is leading the Drivers' Championship coming into the race - and Carlos Sainz Jr. lock out the first two rows of the grid. In the race, Verstappen immediately takes second from Sainz, and would take the lead by the ninth lap. Soon, McLaren's Lando Norris makes contact with Pierre Gasly of AlphaTauri, bringing out the safety car. Leclerc's old tires soon give him a disadvantage, which Verstappen exploits in his first victory in Miami. Leclerc finishes second ahead of his teammate. As the season continues, Ferrari continues to make errors that end up costing their drivers the win; in Monaco, Leclerc leads the race as Sainz is brought in - but Leclerc, having been told to come in too, follows Sainz into the pits - only being told to stay out after he had already came in for his stop - handing Red Bull's [[Sergio Pérez]] the victory as Leclerc finishes fourth; in Baku, both Ferraris - Leclerc leading - retire due to mechanical failure with Verstappen winning; and in [[2022 Canadian Grand Prix|Canada]], both Ferraris stay out again and are inconvenienced by their old rubber, handing Verstappen the win once again. At a rainy Silverstone qualification, Sainz scores his first pole position in his career, and Leclerc, having spun earlier in quali, takes third. The race starts with a big crash for Zhou Guanyu, red-flagging the race. The race starts with Sainz, having retained his grid position, getting a good start; by lap ten, Sainz continues to control the field, but makes an error, allowing Verstappen to take the lead. However, the Red Bull driver reports a puncture and pits, allowing Sainz to take the lead again with Leclerc behind. Soon, the Ferrari pit wall tells Sainz to give the position to Leclerc as [[Esteban Ocon]] retires due to mechanical issues, bringing out a safety car. As Leclerc is told to stay out on his old tires, Sainz is brought in for fresh rubber. The race restarts and Sainz overtakes his struggling teammate for first, going on to win his first race in his career. [[Mattia Binotto]], acknowledging the strategical errors made throughout the season thus far, resolves to fix them in the following races.

| ShortSummary = In his second year in the team, Haas driver [[Mick Schumacher]] faces a lot of pressure, which is not helped by a lot of expectations from being a Formula Two World Champion and being the son of [[Michael Schumacher|a seven-time World Champion]]. The paddock travels to the [[Jeddah Corniche Circuit]] for [[2022 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix|the second running]] of the [[Saudi Arabian Grand Prix]]; as qualification for the race begins, Mick's run grinds to a halt when he suffers a big crash, ruling him out of the race due to the damage sustained to his car. Schumacher continues to struggle after Saudi; in Miami, Schumacher, in ninth place, collides with [[Sebastian Vettel]], taking both drivers out of the race; he starts his Monaco run at the back of the field, only to lose it coming into the swimming pool section and splitting his car in half in the ensuing crash. By the time the paddock has traveled to Baku, Magnussen has led the championship for the Haas team with 15 points against Schumacher's 0, and faces a lot of pressure over his future in the team. Schumacher starts the race in last place, while Magnussen rises up the field. However, Magnussen's race is stopped due to an engine issue, leaving Haas' chance for points in the hands of a slow-running Schumacher. Indeed, Schumacher is running very slowly to the point he is lapped by the leading Verstappen. Away from the track, Schumacher trains with his personal trainer, convinced he can still score points. At Silverstone, Schumacher starts at the back of the grid, but the session is red-flagged due to a big crash for Zhou Guanyu, which the Haas drivers manage to avoid. Schumacher and Magnussen are due to start 16th and 14th, respectively. Schumacher pushes through the field - and with an overtake on Ricciardo, a DRS-assisted overtake on Vettel - and ultimately Verstappen, he ultimately manages to finish eighth - his first points in Formula One, sending the Haas pit wall into a celebration; Vettel and Verstappen also congratulate Schumacher for his efforts during the race. However, despite his efforts in the race, Mick's seat in the Haas team remains open.

| ShortSummary = Under the management of new team principal [[Otmar Szafnauer]], [[Alpine F1 Team]] goes into 2022 retaining their drivers [[Fernando Alonso]], a veteran of [[Team Enstone]] and two-time Champion, and Esteban Ocon, the driver who took Alpine to their [[2021 Hungarian Grand Prix|first victory]] since [[2014 Belgian Grand Prix|2014]], with a new reserve driver in Australian driver and 2021 Formula Two champion [[Oscar Piastri]]. Alpine scores consistent points scores in Miami, Baku, and [[2022 Austrian Grand Prix|Austria]]. By the [[2022 French Grand Prix|French]] round - the home race of Alpine - McLaren and Alpine are tied for sixth in the Constructors' Championship. Early into the race, Alonso edges past Norris for fourth, with Ocon behind him. However, Ocon inadvertently takes [[Yuki Tsunoda]] out of the race, giving him a five-second penalty. Pitting soon after drops him down out of the points, with Alonso now sixth and a second behind Norris. Alonso holds the McLarens up to buy enough time for Ocon to pass them. Alonso finishes sixth and Ocon eighth in their home race. Before [[2022 Hungarian Grand Prix|Hungary]], it is revealed that four-time Champion Sebastian Vettel will retire from Formula One, sending the paddock and media into a frenzy with the prospect of a "silly season" on the horizon; Szafnauer is adamant that Alonso is staying with Alpine for 2023. Hungary is the make-or-break round for Alpine - both drivers need to score higher points than McLaren to achieve fourth in the Constructors' Championship. Ricciardo and [[Lance Stroll]] both overtake the Alpines, but Ricciardo punts Stroll off the track, giving him a five-second penalty. Alonso and Ocon barely hold on to the points, and Ricciardo finishes fifteenth after his penalty, allowing Alpine to secure fourth place. The team and their title sponsors [[BWT (company)|BWT]] celebrate at a sponsor dinner. The next day, Alonso reveals he had received a call from Aston Martin team owner [[Lawrence Stroll]] to replace the outgoing Vettel, moving him out of Team Enstone. Left with no other option, Alpine announce Piastri for the 2023 season, and McLaren are looking to replace Ricciardo with Piastri, who they have had eyes on. To make matters worse for Alpine, Piastri announces on [[Twitter]] that he will not be driving for the team, considering he had not signed such a contract with them.

| ShortSummary = As the season goes into the summer break, the effects of Oscar Piastri's refusal of his Alpine seat are still felt - and right in the line of fire is McLaren's [[Daniel Ricciardo]], who had been struggling throughout the season. Indeed, McLaren has announced Ricciardo's retirement from the team after the season, with Piastri taking his spot. Meanwhile, Alpine are still reeling from the losses of Piastri and Alonso, but the Piastri fiasco has backed both Alpine and McLaren into a wall, with Alpine potentially taking Piastri to court and McLaren CEO [[Zak Brown]] potentially having to pay Piastri and Alpine - and given Ricciardo's near-consistent results back at Team Enstone back in the 2019 season, it remains unknown if he would return considering his decision to move to McLaren in 2021. The [[2022 Dutch Grand Prix|Dutch]] round is the first ever since the announcement, and Ricciardo and Gasly, both winners of past races, are looking to perform their best. Gasly fights with Alonso in the midfield as Ricciardo, having received fresher rubber, pushes on Vettel while Alonso manages to take Gasly up. Ricciardo continues to drop down the field as both Haas drivers pass him. Gasly finishes eleventh with Ricciardo in seventeenth. By the [[2022 Japanese Grand Prix|Japan]] round, Alpine announces will have a new driver in Pierre Gasly for the 2023 season.

Formula 1: Drive to Survive is a television documentary series produced in a collaboration between Netflix and Formula One, to give a behind-the-scenes look at the drivers and races of the Formula One World Championship. The series has received one season per year since 2019, and a total of six seasons have been released, with the latest season aired on 23 February 2024. A crossover event with Full Swing broadcast on Netflix in November 2023 called The Netflix Cup.

Production and concept

On 24 March 2018, Formula One announced that Netflix had commissioned a ten episode docu-series giving an exclusive behind the scenes look at the 2018 Formula One World Championship.[1][2] On 24 July 2019, Formula One announced that a second season would premiere in 2020 covering the 2019 Formula One World Championship, involving all 10 teams.[3][4]

The series is executively produced by James Gay-Rees and Paul Martin for the production company, Box to Box Films. Sophie Todd is the production's showrunner.[5]

Gay-Rees subsequently went on to reveal to The Fast Lane Podcast that Drive to Survive had originally been conceived as a series revolving solely around Red Bull Racing before it evolved into a series about F1 in general.[6]

Filming began for the 2020 season in March but was suspended until July due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[7]

Reception

The show has received recognition for the additional insight it offers fans,[9] and is credited with attracting new audiences (particularly American) to the sport.[10][11][12] The condensing of season-long themes into single-episode narratives has drawn praise for adapting "the natural drama of a racing season into a narrative that can encourage a fan to tune into the real thing."[13]

However, Drive to Survive has been criticized for including fake or misplaced commentary and team radios,[13][14][15][16] staging certain scenes,[13][17][18] placing undue importance on test and practice sessions,[16][17] and over-dramatizing or misrepresenting certain events and relationships within the Formula One paddock.[14][16][19] The continued criticism from both audiences and drivers led to discussions between Netflix and team managers and between Formula One and drivers.[20]

Max Verstappen notably refused to participate in interviews for seasons 3 and 4 as he believed that the show dramatized some drivers by portraying them as villains and that the show manufactured fake rivalries.[21][22][23] However, Verstappen confirmed his participation in season 5 after reaching an agreement with the producers to "keep it real".[23][24][25]
