List of F1 series premiere and intended content

Friday, it’s time for Drive to Survive Season 5. Again, Netflix has explained the previous season and now it will be a cracking upload for F1 2022, Formula 1 WC 2023.

Drive to Survive is not really a documentary, but a novel with realistic elements;-)
But what can we expect?
If I go back to the memory, we can count on some amazing events of F1 2022 that we will definitely see in Drive to Survive Season 5.

Kevin Magnussen, Haas F1 and the comeback

Last year Russia invaded Ukraine amid F1 testing in Spain. He stood again Haas And Gunther Steiner is paying attention, because the team not only had a driver from Russia, but also a major sponsor from Russia, even though the team is from America.
Let’s see how Steiner handles the situation and welcomes the controversial decision Kevin Magnussen Back to Haas, who slammed his door a year ago when he found out he had to leave the team and F1. After a year’s absence, Kevin Magnussen had a sensational qualifying at the F1 premiere in Bahrain, and he scored ten points in the premiere. He managed to take a surprising pole position in Brazil in the autumn.

Mercedes and porpoising

Mercedes was a champion team in the 2022 season – and progressed. Expect us to follow Lewis Hamilton’s painful journey in Baku, watch Toto Wolff tear his hair out as he realizes they chose the wrong strategy entirely and George Russell, who won both the sprint and the GP, returns in Brazil.

Red Bull and the budget ceiling

The FIA ​​has considered it Red bull It had spent more money than the budget ceiling allowed. Other teams claimed Red Bull was cheating and that made Christian Horner see red. The stable was sentenced to spend less time on aerodynamics testing, CFD and the wind tunnel.

Alfa Romeo and Zhou Guanyu

The car flipped during the Great Britain GP and the Chinese drove up and down the start and finish line. He was saved by the halo. It was one of the worst crashes in F1, he went up and down the car before flipping over, the tire flying over the barrier and wedged between the fence and the barrier. Jau was trapped for a few minutes but escaped unhurt. This should be one of the elements in Drive to Survive Season 5.

Oscar Piastre, Alpine and McLaren

Alpine came out and announced that Sebastian Vettel would be replaced by Fernando Alonso at Aston Martin with their driver Oscar Piastre.

But Piastre denied it on Twitter.

Contracted with McLaren. It was the big soap in the formula in the summer of 2022.

Daniel Ricciardo, McLaren and Red Bull

After two unsuccessful years, Daniel Ricciardo had to leave McLaren, but where would he go? to Red Bull as the third driver.

Nico Hulkenberg, Mick Schumacher and Kevin Magnussen

If it’s obvious that it’s the Hulk, we’ll definitely be watching the “Suck My Balls” clip. Nico Hulkenbergmakes a comeback, while Mick Schumacher is forced to leave Haas and then gets the chance to become the third driver at Mercedes.

Also worth noting is the return of Drive to Survive, Max Verstappen, who ends his Netflix boycott and pitches in, but is also allowed to preview his segments. I can imagine Sebastian Vettel’s departure from F1 taking a forward position, as with all of Ferrari’s strategic mistakes and Mattia Pinotto’s exit from Ferrari.

In other words, Drive to Survive will be a good download before what’s really happening – WC in Formula 1 2023. Here is the full calendar.
