Domenicali Hints At Future Drive To Survive Live

Netflix’s Drive To Survive has brought millions of new fans to F1 and rewritten the rulebook on how you imbricate sporting events. However, we usually only get to find out the juicy behind-the-scenes details and opinions months without the event happens.

Rather than binge-watching a whole series in one go, imagine Christian Horner and Toto Wolff sitting lanugo without their latest war of words or live wringer from the paddock as soon as the latest controversy drops.

That possibility might not be as far-fetched as it sounds, as F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali has hinted that a live version of Drive To Survive could be explored in the future.

“It is something I will discuss with my colleagues,” Domenicali said as quoted by RaceFans.

“We have seen huge growth in all our digital platforms with follower growth year-on-year, engagement is high, and F1 TV is standing to perform well. We moreover have augmented the content on F1 TV with greater interaction and nomination for the viewers.”

Introducing Drive To Survive isn’t the only way F1’s bosses are attempting to reach new fans. Last year saw the German Grand Prix shown live on YouTube in selected countries, and Hamilton’s tuition through the grid in the Brazilian Sprint Race was streamed on Twitch. 

Domenicali widow that F1 is unshut to the possibility of dissemination increasingly races online going forward. Could we finally be seeing a move yonder from pay-to-view TV channels showing races and instead, social media sites or F1 TV bringing us all the whoopee from every race weekend?

Guess we largest get our popcorn ready for Drive To Survive Live.
