Is there a season 8 of F1: Drive to Survive?
Yes! The eighth series will take viewers into the 2025 Formula 1 campaign and will be released just days before the 2026 series begins.
The 2025 Drivers’ Championship battle saw Oscar Piastri emerge as an early favourite before Max Verstappen threw himself into the fight.
However, it was Lando Norris who ultimately lifted the trophy, and Drive to Survive will show you exactly how he got there.
“Offering unprecedented access, this new season will once again take fans behind the scenes, to witness first-hand how the drivers and teams prepare to battle it out for the 2025 FIA Formula 1 World Championship,” a description of the show reveals.
