Drive To Survive Season 6 is available on Netflix with 10 episodes

This Friday, February 23, Season 6 of Formula 1: Drive to Survive was released on the Netflix streaming platform. A series that is of great importance and that the world of motorsport can be thankful for, as the premier category has seen a true success since 2019, the year the series was launched.

Between competition, races, doubts, and the famous world champion title that all drivers dream of, it is mainly the relationships between drivers but also between teams that are discussed. It is through ten episodes that we will delve into the backstage of the 2023 season with the debut of the two rookies, namely Oscar Piastri at McLaren and Nyck de Vries at AlphaTauri. This new season will also be an opportunity to focus particularly on our 100% French duo, Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon at the heart of the French team Alpine, which has been under tension for several reasons including major changes in the team hierarchy of the Renault group. But you will certainly notice that a big name is missing from the list, that of Max Verstappen, the 2023 world champion.

The voluntary withdrawal of Max Verstappen

In reality, the absence of Dutch isn’t that surprising. Remember 2 years ago, in May 2022, on the occasion of the release of season 4 of the series, Max Verstappen strongly criticizes the production of the series. Indeed, the two-time world champion does not hide his discontent and makes it known. Through The Associated Press, Max Verstappen speaks out and declares that the documentary invents a lot of things and creates rivalries that don’t really exist. He therefore decides to put an end to his contribution and especially to stop all interviews with the Netflix production. This explains that and allows for a better understanding of the absence of the Red Bull driver.

An entire episode dedicated to the future of Lewis Hamilton

Necessarily, Lewis Hamilton’s future at Mercedes will be at the center of an entire episode of Season 6 of Drive to Survive. Today it’s official, Lewis Hamilton will be heading to Ferrari starting in 2025. But with departure comes arrival, so many names will be mentioned as potential replacements for the seven-time world champion.
