The Red Bull driver, Max Verstappen, will be the main focus of Season 5 of “Formula 1: Drive to Survive” following a contentious Season 4.
Verstappen, who was one of the key contenders for the 2021 Formula One World Championship, has already voiced his disapproval of the dramatic tone of the series and was absent throughout Season 4. Will Buxton and other knowledgeable F1 journalists are anticipated to contribute analyses to the series.
The television programme has already been renewed for Season 6 while viewers wait for Season 5.

Formula 1: Drive to Survive: Plot
Naturally, this season is heavily focused on Verstappen and Hamilton.
Another season of the Drive to Survive premiere, another year. Talking heads discuss what it takes to become a team boss while drivers elaborate on the new “energy” in their teams as improvements are in the works for the 2021 season (extravagant breakfasts and lots of swearing, apparently).
Unexpectedly several well-known F1 figures make jokes about wanting Mercedes to eventually lose the championship in 2021. All in good humour, but as the saying goes, there’s no fire in the jokes.
In Bahrain, everyone who matters is quite hopeful that Milton Keynes will finally defeat Brackley this year, but Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton end up winning once more.
Never rains, but pours anyway: Ricciardo struggled in the beginning of 21.
The first of two programmes analysing Daniel Ricciardo’s mentality. The Australian now enters the McLaren Technology Centre for a second high-profile shift in two years, only to discover Lando Norris has already moved in.
The Australian seemed to have had high hopes of using his teeth to flash the car into Q3, only to discover that it isn’t that simple. Ricciardo is having a lot of trouble understanding the peculiar MCL35M, but it gets worse: his boyish, witty, charismatic (we’ll stop now) teammate Norris consistently outperforms him.
The Honey Badger is genuinely upset, and the two drivers’ relationship is likewise getting worse. Can Ricciardo get back into shape?
Short segments starring Ferrari drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz (yeah, we don’t know either) are oddly interwoven throughout the footage.
More Mercedes vs. Red Bull, with a dash of Ferrari. Again, at the first meal of the day, Wolff and Horner converse with their loved ones in what appears to be fairly scripted conversations about the intensity of the championship fight and pumpernickel.
Red Bull and Mercedes perform admirably and terribly, respectively, in Monaco, but numerous laps in Horner’s backyard still appear to be more thrilling than the race around the principality in 21.
At the British GP, everything comes to a head, and we all know how it goes. Bring on the cursing and breakfasttime war preparations.
Formula 1: Drive to Survive: Review
Guenther Steiner and his eclectic Haas crew are back as the dependable Netflix gang-show entertainers. What could possible go wrong when they recruited a Russian oligarch to sponsor them this time along with his spoiled son to drive?
It soon becomes apparent that Mick Schumacher, a teammate, can easily outperform Nikita Mazepin, who is unable to manufacture either the head or rear diffuser of the VF-21 car: Poor Niki says, “I don’t know how he drives that vehicle.”
Soon, the team and driver start exchanging some very crude words, and the senior Mazepin threatens to sever his sponsorship at the start of the season.
However, young Maz saves the day and sets the record straight to finish, oh, last at his hometown grand prix in Sochi thanks to what can only be described as a brilliant tyre call. We all give each other kudos.
Daniel Ricciardo celebrates his victory at the 2021 Italian Grand Prix with Honey Badger.
Ricciardo shot again. As the races go on, things between the Macca teammate grow tetchier and tetchier while he continues to struggle with that annoying papaya number. We’re quite different, Norris says menacingly.
Fortunately, there is a sprint race for Ricciardo to practise his Mansell-like skills in before everything clicks into place. Verstappen and Hamilton walk off the track together, Bottas receives a grid penalty, and Norris makes a commitment not to pass the elderly driver in front à la Damon Hill and Ralf Schumacher in Spa ’98.
The Honey Badger has returned.
Formula 1: Drive to Survive: Episode 6
- Williams Racing is the main topic of this episode. After more than 40 years in Formula One, the team’s eponymous family sold out and was replaced by the very unominous-sounding Dorilton Capital, which is now ringing the changes.
- Jost Capito, a former Volkswagen WRC principal, is their choice to run it because he is a true motorsports enthusiast. The new manager quickly begins to decimate the team with merciless German efficiency.
- George Russell quickly gets into the spirit and says that some team members need to be given the shove, acting like a prefect joining in with the teacher shoving someone. Under Claire, things weren’t like this!
- In Budapest, the team does manage to score a heroic eighth and ninth goal. The new administration is thriving.
- Growing Pains’ YTsunoda Tsunoda is the show’s cheesiest new character in episode seven.
- This episode, with its horrifyingly worded title, naturally centres on Yuki Tsunoda and Esteban Ocon. Due to his apparent lack of genuine interest in becoming an F1 driver, the former makes this episode television gold.
- The poor kid had to relocate from Tokyo to Milton Keynes, his mother is no longer there to do his laundry, and driving an F1 car is proving to be a little more challenging than driving the blunt-knife F2 machine in which he won races.
- Ocon is a member of Alpine’s all-French attack (from Enstone) and is coping with the pressure to win the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Formula 1: Drive to Survive: Episode 8
Two into one won’t work.
Ah, yes, Valtteri Bottas’ well-known and adored existential analysis. This time, Mercedes’ golden child George Russell is breathing down the neck of the not-so-ice-cool Finn, who appears to be inexorably caught up in the predicament of a one-year contract expiring.
The situation escalates when the young British driver collides with Bottas at Imola and goes full-on BTCC, using foul language, pointing, and other BTCC-style tactics. Scandalous.
But Bottas can’t help himself, and it appears to be over after Russell qualifies the F1 equivalent of a Scania truck on the front row at Spa while the Finn can only manage seventh.
Thus, in a scenario that appears to have been orchestrated to the point of embarrassment of (insert West End celebrity here), Wolff informs Russell that he has the Merc seat.
Formula 1: Drive to Survive: Episode 9 and 10
The press preview does not include the contentious Abu Dhabi season finale, but the last two withholding episodes will undoubtedly include it. It delivered all the drama one could ask for and more, but will it appear on streamers’ screens?
The Brazilian and Azerbaijan GPs are two potential major events, but as we have already seen, fantastic races don’t always translate into spectacular Drive to Survive episodes.
Could Netflix look into the farce of the Belgian Grand Prix being a non-event or its own part in influencing F1’s behaviour in Abu Dhabi? Although unlikely, you never know.
