Drive to Survive season 6 preview
It's fast becoming the real season opener. The team launches are great but F1 fanatics know that the real business is about to begin when the next season of Formula 1: Drive To Survive drops on Netflix. To find out where to watch the races this year go here but to find out what what's happing behind-the-scenes, you are going to want to watch Drive To Survive season 6.
Everybody will have their personal highlights and flashpoints from 2023 that they will want to receive the Drive to Survive treatment – the return of eight-time GP winner Daniel Ricciardo to the grid with Red Bull’s sister team AlphaTauri, Lance Stroll’s hissy fit in Qatar, the emergence of Oscar Piastri and the bouncebackability of Lando Norris and everything to do with last year’s race of the season in Singapore - but two questions persist.
Will Red Bull’s temperamental Max Verstappen be making an appearance after famously refusing to participate in season 4? Yes, he will. More importantly, will season 6 be the swansong for Guenther Steiner, the potty-mouthed boss of Haas who recently left the team "with immediate effect"? Hopefully not, thanks to Drive to Survive he now has a real cult following and is a gift to both the show and F1, but time will tell. Anything can happen in F1.
As with previous seasons, all 10 episodes of Formula 1: Drive to Survive season six will drop on the same day: Friday 23rd February, just before the Bahrain Grand Prix on 2nd March, 2024. You can watch Formula 1: Drive to Survive on Netflix. And if you're abroad, you can watch it from wherever you are using a VPN.

What to know about Drive to Survive
What is in Drive to Survive season 6?
Netflix says: "Season 6 follows the action of last year’s 23 high-speed races, alongside the moves and machinations that take place before rubber even touches the road. At the start of the 2023 season, Red Bull is keen on securing a third consecutive championship for Belgian and Dutch driver Max Verstappen, while the rest of the grid fights to improve on the previous year’s stats. As 10 teams and 20 drivers vie for the 2023 FIA Formula 1 World Championship, the series presents never-before-seen footage of the action both on and off the track — from mid-season team roster changes and simmering rivalries to internal struggles and race day revelations. New talent and familiar faces get a chance to prove themselves behind the wheel, disappointing results force teams to quickly regroup, and team principals fight to keep their teams afloat."
