    DTS first debuted on Netflix in early 2019, in which they covered the 2018 season with 10 episodes pers series focusing on teams and drivers.

    The series, has grown more popular over time, with Season 4 attracting the biggest audience to date, with it breaking into the weekly Top 10 in 56 countries!

    The series offers unprecedented access, with the new season once again taking fans behind the scenes to witness first hand how the drivers and teams prepare to battle it out for the 2022 and 2023 championship.

    It is said, this is the reason why Formula 1 has broke America, and seeing more American races on the calendar, this year us having two and next year three, with Las Vegas joining the calendar.

  • DTS date announced

    Netflix and F1 have announced the date in which Season 4 of Drive to Survive will be released… that being on the 11th March.

    The long-awaited fourth season, builds on the success of the first three seasons, as cameras once again go behind the scenes to capture the dramatic 2021 championship, which included one of the all-time-great title fights between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton, a 22 race calendar, which went right down to the wire.

    But the intensity didn’t stop there, McLaren was the only team to take a one-two at Monza, Hamilton storming through the grid at Brazil, Ocon winning in Hungary, Perez winning in an dramatic Azerbaijan GP and of course Verstappen taking his maiden F1 title.

  • DTS Season 4 confirmed

    Over the weekend we had an announcement that Drive To Survive will be returning for season four in 2022.

    The Netflix series first aired in 2019 and has been a great success within interest in the sport within the young fans/ American too. It has won numerous awards such as Bafta and Telly award on its ongoing success.

    The series picks up story lines from each team over the course of the season, which offers fans a unique perspective of a race weekend.

    “What it really demonstrated to us is how many fans might be out there, and how can we talk to existing fans but in a different way,” said Holmes. “What the Netflix series shows us is that there is this appetite for content that has no place to be in a [regular] pre-race show. But there is a place for it and people are genuinely fascinated by it. The other thing it’s really demonstrated to us is that what interests people most is the individuals, the personalities, the rock stars, the drivers, or in some cases maybe a few team principals. It’s that sort of personality-driven programming.”

    My Opinion-

    I actually don’t mind DTS, I watch it as its funny, entertaining and gives us F1 fans something to watch whilst F1 is preparing for the new season. But I have always been wary since it started that its giving a false perception, not every race weekend you see is put onto the series and every teams is different. However, i’m happy its back and cant wait for the trailer and release date!
