The wildly popular Formula 1 documentary “Drive to Survive” is gearing up for its seventh season on Netflix, hitting screens on March 7. And here’s some good news for fans – it looks like there’s more to come.
Sources tell us Netflix is already making plans to film throughout the 2025 F1 season, setting up what would be Season 8 of the hit series.
While nothing’s officially announced yet, F1 teams are operating as if Netflix’s cameras will be rolling again next year, giving viewers those addictive behind-the-scenes moments that have helped transform the sport’s popularity.
The 2025 season is shaping up to be absolutely massive for storylines.
Several teams think they’ve got a real shot at the championship, which should make for some intense drama both on and off the track.
But the biggest story? Lewis Hamilton in Ferrari red.
The seven-time world champion’s switch to the legendary Italian team is the kind of narrative gold that “Drive to Survive” thrives on. Though interestingly, Netflix’s crew missed out on capturing Hamilton’s first moments with Ferrari, including his initial test drive.
If everything goes according to plan, fans can expect Season 8 to drop around March 2026, following the show’s usual release pattern.
It’s pretty clear that Formula 1’s relationship with Netflix has transformed the sport’s global appeal. What started as an experiment has turned into must-watch TV for racing fans and newcomers alike.
The question now isn’t really if there will be more seasons – it’s how many more incredible stories this partnership can tell.
