‘Formula 1: Drive to Survive’ Season 8

What to Watch

We’re just a few days from the first “lights out and away we go” of the 2026 Formula 1 season, and just in time, you can relive last season with eight new episodes of Formula 1: Drive to Survive on Netflix (and Apple TV). As a relatively new F1 fan myself, past seasons of Drive to Survive have been a great resource in getting to know the sport, the rules and all of the drivers on the grid, and the new Season 8 is no exception. Covering the entire 2025 F1 season, Drive to Survive Season 8 begins as the season does, with the introduction of six new rookies to the grid, then continues by breaking down key rivalries, storylines and moments throughout the 24-race slate, all leading up to the final moments of the season in Abu Dhabi.  It’s a dramatic new installment fitting of the even-more-dramatic title chase it covers.
