The hit Netflix Formula 1 series, Drive to Survive has returned to the streaming platform on March 7, 2025 (today) and fans have been handed brand new information.

The 10 new episodes mark the seventh season of the docuseries, which catapulted the sport's popularity, increasing its presence globally.

Although season 7 has been released just one week before the 2025 campaign kicks off at the Australian Grand Prix, the episodes cover the drama of the 2024 season, and there was certainly plenty of it.

Heading into the new championship, there are only two teams who have retained the same driver lineup as last season, with the 2024 driver market being thrown into disarray in February last year when Lewis Hamilton announced his move to Ferrari.

The seven-time champion replaced Carlos Sainz at the Scuderia, creating a premature silly season which saw eight teams on the grid opt for a reshuffle of their driver duo, with much of the drama expected to be covered in the new series of Drive to Survive.

F1 fans teased with team switch drama

The day before F1 fans got access to all 10 episodes of the new season, Netflix released the official titles to each episode, accompanying the announcement with a driver profile attached to each episode, teasing fans over the drama to come.

The series is one of the most exciting yet, with 2024 bringing us team switch drama for Hamilton in the biggest move of his career, a fresh start for many who were uprooted out of their full-time race seat, and a sad goodbye to the star of Drive to Survive, Daniel Ricciardo.

The Aussie racing star was replaced at Red Bull's junior team, Racing Bulls, with just six races to go in the 2024 season. His story features in the new series, with the episode titled 'Elbows Out', set to focus on his struggle and premature exit.

Drive to Survive Season 7 Episode Titles

Here are the 10 episode titles in full that fans can look forward to watching:

Episode 1: Business As Usual
Episode 2: Frenemies
Episode 3: Looking Out for Number 1
