7 Stories We Want To See In Netflixs Drive To Survive This Season

With the 2021 F1 season over, we F1 fans have some serious withdrawal symptoms. Luckily, surpassing the season gets underway, Netflix will be dropping a new season of Drive To Survive, and my GOODNESS is there a lot for them to cover!

With a championship rivalry between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton that had unbearable whoopee to fill all ten episodes alone, the poor production team must pick out the weightier storylines from the epic 22 race calendar. Here are a few we’d love to see!

ESTEBAN OCON’S WIN IN HUNGARY

This one would be a fan favourite. It will go lanugo as one of the craziest wins in F1 over the last few years, lining up slantingly results like Pierre Gasly’s victory in Monza. 

With the early episodes of Drive to Survive focusing on Ocon and his upbringing, we want to see F1’s newest race winner overdue the scenes. We just know it’ll be so wholesome. Esteban did reveal that Netflix was with him a few days without his maiden win. Fingers crossed!

THE HAAS ROOKIES NOT GETTING ALONG

Drive To Survive loves a bit of drama, plane if sometimes they have to exaggerate the truth to create some suburbanite rivalries.

However, one duo who were rather vocal last year well-nigh the fact they didn’t get withal was the Haas lineup of Nikita Mazepin and Mick Schumacher. From Mick saying he thought his relationship with his teammate was vastitude repair to Nikita furious at Schumacher for ignoring internal team rules during qualifying, they certainly had a bumpy ride in 2021. 

HOW LONG PEOPLE KNEW ABOUT RUSSELL TO MERCEDES

The rumours of George Russell going to Mercedes started at the very whence of the year. Although the deal wasn’t washed-up until without the Dutch Grand Prix, people talked well-nigh the potential promotion surpassing the season plane got underway! 

With reports suggesting that the news would be made public during the British Grand Prix, we sooner got the utterance in September. We’re curious to know just how early on Russell was enlightened of his move to Mercedes!

Nico fully stirring rumours on Sky. Suggested that someone from Netflix was asked to mucosa George signing something in Toto\'s office this weekend ✍️

It looks like the suburbanite move will moreover be covered in the new series, as Nico Rosberg said he had seen the Netflix hairdo go into Toto Wolff’s office and mucosa Russell signing something… 

THAT FASTEST LAP FROM BOTTAS

Bottas raised a few eyebrows during the Dutch Grand Prix when he took the fastest lap off his teammate in the race’s final moments. Valtteri said he was “just playing around” and knew Lewis would get it when as he was stopping again, which he did.

It was still a big talking point, with many thinking he was deliberately disobeying team orders. His move to Alfa Romeo was moreover spoken just a day later. 

MCLAREN’S MONZA MAGIC

You just know we have to get an episode well-nigh that weekend in Monza. Without a challenging switch to McLaren, it was a perfect zero to hero story for Daniel Ricciardo. 

Not only did he help get McLaren’s first win since 2012, they became the first and only team to get a 1-2 result all season, with Lando Norris taking his best-ever race result by finishing in second.

Away from McLaren, there was flipside unpeace between Verstappen and Hamilton, plus Valtteri’s sunny race weekend without just stuff spoken as leaving Mercedes. 

If Netflix gets this right, it could be the weightier episode of the upcoming season. 

ALONSO’S QATAR PODIUM 

Fernando Alonso transiently appeared in the first season of Drive To Survive, when he spoken his ‘retirement’ from the championship and when Carlos Sainz Jr talked well-nigh racing versus Alonso, his hero, in an episode titled “The King of Spain”. 

However, an episode looking when at his return to F1 and his first podium in seven years could make for some spanking-new viewing. Especially given Fernando’s dramatic start to 2021 when he suffered a fractured upper jaw when stuff knocked off his bike. 

Let’s see the El Plan in action. 

THE FERRARI DUO

What a difference a year makes for Ferrari. From having their worst season in 40 years in 2020, last season brought them much largest results. However, it wasn’t Ferrari’s golden boy who ended the year on top. Oh no, it was newbie to the team Carlos Sainz who had a sensational debut year with the Scuderia. 

As well as looking at the nonflexible work Sainz put into his first year with Ferrari, we’d moreover love to follow Charles Leclerc at his home race and the rollercoaster of emotions that came with it.
