George Russell prepares for another season of F1 and Drive to Survive

Everything we know about Drive to Survive Season 8

Netflix’s Drive to Survive Season 7 dropped last week on the streaming platform, covering huge moments from the 2024 F1 season like Lewis Hamilton’s move to Ferrari, Lando Norris’ first win at the Miami Grand Prix and much more. 

As if often the case, once fans have finished watching the latest series, their attention turns to next season. So now, the question for every F1 fan remains: will Drive to Survive Season 8 make its way onto Netflix?

 

Has Drive to Survive Season 8 been confirmed by Netflix? 

We’re still waiting on official confirmation from Netflix for Season 8 of Drive to Survive, but with viewership of almost seven million for Season 6, it doesn’t seem likely the show will be cancelled any time soon.  

 

Drive to Survive Season 8 Release Date

If Drive to Survive Season 8 follows the series’ traditional release schedule, we can expect it to land on Netflix in early 2026. Previous seasons have been released just ahead of the first F1 race of the year, so a likely premiere date would be the first few weekends of March 2026.

 

What to expect from Drive to Survive Season 8

With the 2025 season set to bring exciting storylines – including Lewis Hamilton’s move to Ferrari, Lando Norris’ best chance at the F1 title yet and George Russell vs Kimi Antonelli at Mercedes – there will be no shortage of storylines for the next instalment of Drive to Survive.
