When will Season 4's Drive to Survive episodes drop on Netflix?
Friday, March 11th is the date to put into your calendar or notes app or however you organise yourself. Might be no harm to try and book the day off work while you're at it.
What time will the season be available to watch?
If you've already a jam-packed Friday March 11th, not to worry. It's expected to release on Netflix around 8 am Friday morning in Ireland and the UK.
How many episodes are there in Drive to Survive Season 4?
This year's installment will feature ten episodes, following a similar format from Seasons 1 to 3. Last year's racing calendar featured 22 races so there's more to cover than ever before.
Was the series filmed similarly to Season 3?
Expect more of the same from season three, as the film crews were part of each team's bubble similar to last year. It didn't stop them from producing plenty of juicy content, mind you.
Is anyone missing from Season 4 of Drive to Survive?
Despite Ferrari and Mercedes foregoing the first season, all the teams know how important it is for marketing and brand value. But there'll be no Max Verstappen, who seems to be against the whole premise of it.

Do we have the same producers for Season 4?
Yes. Paul Martin and James Gay-Reese are back on board for the new season. They've brought us documentaries on the likes of Ayrton Senna and Diego Maradona over the years.
Will Season 4 clash with the 2022 Formula 1 calendar?
It will be a close one. Season 4 will drop a week before the season-opening weekend in Bahrain. So it gives you roughly a week to watch it before the start of the 2022 season.
Is there a Drive to Survive Season 4 trailer out yet?
Unfortunately not. There's no better way to build some hype than a montage of clips and some epic music, but sadly Netflix hasn't given us a glimpse of Season 4, yet.
What can we expect to be covered in the new season?
Where do we start? The conclusion to the season will be highly anticipated, as it'll likely show us some behind-the-scenes footage of Max Verstappen's controversial win over Lewis Hamilton in Abu Dhabi, including Michael Masi's role and the Team Principals having it out over the radio.
Speaking of Team Principals, Toto Wolff and Christian Horner aren't shy around the lens, so their feud should be well documented. Then we have the collisions between the Red Bull and Mercedes standouts in Silverstone, Monza, and Jeddah to consider too. Aside from the top two, you've Daniel Ricciardo's return to the podium with a win at Monza, Lando Norris' near-win in Russia, Sergio Perez' homecoming win in Mexico, as well as Valterri Bottas and George Russell moving teams.
