What will happen in Formula 1: Drive to Survive season 4?
The 2021 F1 Championship is sure to have provided the Drive to Survive crew with more than enough exciting moments for the new series. Camera crews were embedded with teams across the F1 calendar once again last year to capture reactions to some of the best (and worst) points of the season.
We expect the tense title race between Mercedes' driver Lewis Hamilton and Red Bull's Max Verstappen —which dominated the 2021 season right down to the very end—will play a huge part in the season's arc.
However, Verstappen has previously gone on record to say he won't be participating in the show as he feels past seasons of the show have "faked rivalries" to make the sport appear more dramatic.
Speaking to the Associated Press, Verstappen said: "They faked a few rivalries which they don't really exist. So I decided to not be a part of it and did not give any more interviews after that because then there is nothing you can show.
"I am not really a dramatic show kind of person, I just want facts and real things to happen", he added.
Is there a trailer for Drive to Survive season 4?
We've finally been treated to a full trailer for the new series of Drive to Survive, and it looks intense.
