Drive To Survive season 2 is coming soon!#F1 @netflix
Few firm details are known about the second series of Drive to Survive beyond the additional participation of Ferrari and Mercedes, but the latter's disastrous German Grand Prix weekend is set to be a focal point of one of the episodes.
Charles Leclerc's emotional home victory for Ferrari at Monza is also understood to be the main theme for an episode, as is the rise of Alexander Albon following his move from Toro Rosso to Red Bull.
The success of Drive to Survive's first season is widely credited with the recent growth in new, young F1 viewers, with 62 percent of new fans reported to be under the age of 35.
