Box to Box Films have dropped their biggest hint yet that smash-hit docuseries Formula 1: Drive to Survive will return for season 5, following the 2022 season.<\/p>\n
The latest run of the Netflix<\/a> series has arrived with fans scouring through the footage for every morsel of drama from the 2021 season.<\/p>\n Max Verstappen recorded his first world title after pipping seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton at the post on the last lap of the final race in Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n Controversial circumstances of Verstappen\u2019s victory \u2013 revolving around race director Michael Masi\u2019s control of a safety car situation \u2013 have ramped up the interest even further in Box to Box Films\u2019 10-episode season 4.<\/p>\n The question on everyone\u2019s lips will be inevitable: will there be a Formula 1: Drive to Survive season 5? RadioTimes.com<\/a> spoke exclusively to the producers to find out.<\/p>\n Producer James Rees-Gay said: \u201cI was in Barcelona [for F1 testing] last weekend sitting down with Christian [Horner] and Toto [Wolff] and they\u2019re like: \u2018We\u2019re here again, it\u2019s started again\u2019. They\u2019re all so knackered from the last year, they had a quick Christmas break but then they\u2019ve been developing the car the whole time. It\u2019s tough for us. It\u2019s harder for them.<\/p>\n When asked directly whether the Netflix cameras would be rolling in 2022 for season 5, he said: \u201cWe hope so. We\u2019re still talking about it. Obviously the season is approaching so we\u2019ll try and pull it off. It\u2019s in discussion.\u201d<\/p>\n With a laugh and a glance, fellow producer Paul Martin said: \u201cHe wasn\u2019t in Barcelona for his holidays, basically!\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI do quite often do that though!\u201d replied Rees-Gay.<\/p>\n Martin went on to say: \u201cIf the appetite is there, I think it could it run and run. Brandon Riegg, who\u2019s the head of Unscripted at Netflix did an interview a couple of months ago where he said there\u2019s no reason that these sports franchises that Netflix are doing \u2013 and Drive to Survive is at the heart of it \u2013 there\u2019s no reason for them to not come back every year and every year.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s become part and parcel of the Formula 1 world now. You have the season, and then you have Drive to Survive, and then the season starts again.<\/p> \u201cIt is a great thing about this series that you can see the evolution of these drivers and the their characters and their experiences change year on year. Lando is in it at the end of season one, he comes up in the lift doesn\u2019t he? To see where he is now is amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s that evolution, that journey from young upstart to settled professional, and hopefully, to seasoned champion, that fellow Rees-Gay hopes will keep bringing fans back for more across another decade. He agreed with Martin that the growth of Norris is a compelling storyline to enjoy.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cAmerican platforms, American channels, they have no problem doing 10 seasons of something. It\u2019ll be a nice problem to have.<\/p>\n \u201c[Lando] and Danny have a great episode this year, where he basically starts to flex a little bit and actually say I\u2019m not sure who\u2019s number one here. He gives us lots of good access and the bottom line is that he\u2019s a really good driver.\u201d<\/p>\n Formula 1: Drive to Survive season 4 arrives on Netflix Friday 11th March.
