'Drive to Survive' Season 2 set for late February release date

The second season of Netflix's original series 'Formula 1: Drive to Survive' is set to launch on the streaming platform late next month.

Netflix France announced a list of new arrivals for February on Wednesday, with Drive to Survive listed for a release on the 28th of February.

Other regions have not yet been confirmed, however the aforementioned release date would be over a week earlier than season one, which hit the screens on March 8th. 

The 10-part documentary series proved to be a large success and a talking point throughout 2020, as fans anticipated a second instalment. 

Netflix confirmed last July that a second season would be released prior to the start of the 2020 season, with production crews following teams and drivers during the campaign.

This time around, Mercedes and Ferrari will be invovled in the programme, as it opted to sit out of the first series. 

Mercedes was followed by Netflix during the German Grand Prix weekend, where the Silver Arrows endured major difficulties, and fans were treated to one of the most exciting races in the decade.
