The much anticipated F1 series Drive to Survive season 3 will be streaming on Netflix from March 19. But what does the third season of the action-packed Netflix special have in store for us?
The first two seasons of DTS followed the events of the 2018 and 2019 season, respectively. They took the viewers through some exciting moments like Leclerc’s win at Monza, Sainz’s first podium for McLaren, and the tension between Vettel and Leclerc.
The coronavirus pandemic hit in 2020, which raised the question if the F1 season will take place or not. But, fortunately, the sport restarted, and as the 2020 season began, so did the filming for the third season of DTS.
