Mark your calendar, set a voice reminder on your phone, and heck, tie a knot in your handkerchief if you have to: Drive to Survive returns on March 7, 2025.
This will be the seventh season of the smash hit documentary, which helped turbocharge interest in Formula 1 around the globe when it first aired in 2019.
Not only is F1 now weirdly popular in a mainstream kind of way, but ‘the DTS effect’ has been so wide-ranging that it’s made a cult hero out of a sweary former team manager and single-handedly created the demand for two entirely new grands prix in Miami and Las Vegas.
Like the previous seasons, the seventh iteration of Drive to Survive will also cover everything you’ve more or less forgotten about from 2024. It was a while ago now, huh?

There should be plenty for it to get its teeth into: McLaren and Ferrari going at it for constructors’ glory, Max Verstappen cruising to a fourth world title in the third- and sometimes fourth-fastest car, Lewis Hamilton dropping that bombshell, and there’s got to be a farewell episode for Danny Ric, right? The OG DTS star.
“We’re really excited for fans to watch the new season of Drive to Survive,” says Tom Hutchings, executive producer at Box to Box Films, which makes the series. “The 2024 season was incredible both on and off the track, with the action well and truly underway before the first race in Bahrain. Expect more drama and fun from the paddock this season and a few surprises, too.
“Go behind the scenes as teams bid for the hottest drivers on the market, experience a weekend with the drivers at the toughest race of the year, and expect a nail-biting finish right up to the last race. Fasten your seatbelts, this season is going to be our biggest ever.”
The new season drops just over a week before the 2025 season-opening race in Melbourne, so you should have enough time to knock back all 10 episodes (we’re assuming it’s 10, the same as the previous six seasons) before filming commences for season eight—correction, we mean before the racing action really takes off.
