Netflix F1 Drive to Survive Season 7: Release date, where to watch and what to expect

Netflix's F1 series, Drive to Survive, will release its seventh season on its streaming platform on March 7 this year. The series has captured the imagination of people across the globe and even introduced new fans to the sport and taken it to new heights.

There has been a lot of anticipation regarding the upcoming 2025 season given the close nature of the grid after a highly exciting campaign last year saw Red Bull driver Max Verstappen win his fourth consecutive driver's championship.

The 2024 season started on similar notes to its predecessor but quickly unraveled from Miami onwards after Lando Norris took his first win and Red Bull showed signs of weakness. From there onwards, the season witnessed seven different drivers winning multiple races from the top four teams.

Several pundits and fans have predicted the 2025 season could prove even closer with multiple teams fighting for race wins and championships. Ahead of the start of the new campaign, the official pre-season testing will commence in late February.
