What is the name of the Netflix documentary series about Formula 1 racing?

The Netflix documentary series about Formula 1 racing is Formula 1: Drive to Survive. Produced by Netflix and Formula One, it provides a behind-the-scenes view of drivers, teams, rivalries and races in the Formula One World Championship.

The series was commissioned after Netflix and Formula One announced a production deal in 2018. Its first season premiered on March 8, 2019, covering the 2018 championship. Rather than presenting a traditional race-by-race broadcast, the programme uses interviews, team access and dramatic editing to explain the pressure surrounding the sport.

Drive to Survive helped introduce Formula 1 to many viewers who had previously known little about it, especially in the United States. It is also sometimes mistaken for a fictional racing drama, but it is a documentary series, often described as a docudrama because of its narrative style. Its success led to similar behind-the-scenes sports series, including Full Swing and Break Point.
