Netflix eye live F1 broadcast rights after Drive to Survive success The streaming service is set to air the seventh series of Drive to Survive before the 2025 season starts.
The seventh season of Drive to Survive, which has made icons out of the likes of ex-Haas boss Guenther Steiner and F1 race winner Daniel Ricciardo, is set to air prior to the 2025 season starting on 16 March.
Currently, Netflix does not have a contract for any further seasons of Drive to Survive but, given the success of the show for both the streaming service and F1, it would be a huge surprise if it wasn’t renewed for another series.
The streaming service has played a vital role in growing F1 stateside, with the hugely popular Drive to Survive documentary series expanding the sport’s fanbase to include a younger, female demographic.
Netflix is eyeing the live broadcast rights for Formula 1 in the United States with the bidding process for the 2026 season onwards set to begin in the next few months.
