A 10-part documentary of the 2018 Formula 1 season – Formula 1: Drive to Survive – will launch on March 8 on Netflix.
Written by James Gay Rees, who penned Senna, this new series will show each round of the 2018 championship beginning with the opener at Melbourne and ending in Abu Dhabi.
The series will feature F1 drivers, team bosses and owners to provide a “unique insight into the teams and the people…”
