Netflix’s ‘Drive to Survive’ Season 7 Tackles F1 Drama and Controversy

The new season highlights Sergio Pérez's struggles, Max Verstappen's potential ban, and Daniel Ricciardo's possible return to Formula 1.

Season 7 of Netflix’s ‘Drive to Survive’ premieres on March 7, 2025, and covers major storylines from the 2024 Formula 1 season.
The series delves into Sergio Pérez’s underperformance at Red Bull, which contributed to the team losing the Constructors’ Championship in 2024.
Max Verstappen faces a potential one-race ban in 2025 due to accumulating penalty points, which could open the door for Daniel Ricciardo’s temporary return to F1.
The show continues its dramatic editing style, with Will Buxton criticizing Netflix for creating misleading narratives, including one that allegedly misrepresented his comments about Pérez.
Other key moments include Lewis Hamilton’s move to Ferrari, Lando Norris’s championship battle with Verstappen, and behind-the-scenes footage from the Singapore Grand Prix.
