F1 CEO Considers Revamping Netflix Drive to Survive After Upcoming Season 4 Release

The new season of Drive to Survive is right around the corner. Fans and F1 teams alike are excited to see how the Netflix show has portrayed arguably one of the best seasons in F1 history. But sometimes the show has come under scrutiny for overdramatizing scenes and rivalries in their depiction. F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali mentioned he hopes DTS will continue to add value to the sport in the coming years.

Domenicali recognized the show’s popularity, and how it has helped F1. But the Italian hinted they might reinvent the show in the future to make it more impactful.

‘I think it’s better to renegotiate and see with Netflix’: F1 CEO

As reported by Motorsport, ahead of the release for the fourth season of the show, the F1 CEO believes that the sport might need to renegotiate with the steaming company about the structure of the show.

“I think that it’s important for us to be with Drive to Survive, with our Netflix friends, up to the moment where we believe that we’ll make sure that it’s a differentiating factor,” said Domenicali.

“If it’s becoming just a different way to speak about F1 without adding, or giving to the F1 platform any added value, maybe I think it’s better to renegotiate and see with Netflix and with the other partners what could be a possibility to do something different in the future.”

“But for sure, this platform has been a vital part of the growth of awareness, mainly with the young generation and with newcomers of F1. And for that, we need to thank that vision, and the process and the quality, that has been really very, very good,” said the former Ferrari driver.

There have been many complaints about maybe the show is running out of ideas and falling into a rut. So, it might be a good idea to give the show a fresh new perspective and bring in more hardcore F1 audiences.

But hopefully, the show sticks around with F1 and continues its collaboration in the future as well. Season four of Drive to Survive releases on 11 March on Netflix.
