It looks like the fourth season of the Netflix series Drive to Survive will be available for viewing in early March. Every year the series about the previous F1 season is put online just before the start of the new season.

Drive to Survive to be seen March 9, 10 or 11?

Fox Sports ' Spanish motorsports journalist Luis Manuel López is reporting that the fourth season of the F1 series will appear on the streaming service between March 9 and 11. Netflix itself has not yet confirmed the news that López is now bringing, but these dates seem quite possible since in recent seasons Netflix also made the series available to F1 fans a week in advance.

The third season of the series, after two well-scoring debut seasons, was viewed more critically by the public and by the protagonists themselves. For example, the reigning world champion Max Verstappen is not happy about it and said even before season three that a lot is fake in the series. The Dutchman therefore no longer wants to participate in the series. Former F1 driver Stefan Johansson recently said that he always would drop out of the series after fifteen minutes. Daniel Ricciardo last year did have a positive sound about the series after his victory in Italy. He said that the "exaggerated" drama we see in the series is sometimes just the reality of Formula 1.

Whether the series is fake or too sensational; for most F1 fans this fourth season must have a golden edge. The battle between Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton for the 2022 title unfolded into a scenario only imaginable in Hollywood movies. There, given the nature of the criticism they received for last season, Netflix could only do something wonderful with it.
