What happens in Formula 1: Drive to Survive season 3?
Lewis Hamilton was crowned world champion for a historic seventh time in 2020, and fans will be able to soak up the major moments from across the grid when the show returns.
The show will inevitably dive into a range of high-octane moments including a first Grand Prix victory for Pierre Gasly, the ongoing strife of Ferrari and Romain Grosjean's incredible escape from a traumatic crash in Bahrain.
Of course, the season went ahead behind closed doors due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so expect plenty of footage showing how teams coped under the circumstances, including the race that never happened as the season-opening Australian Grand Prix was cancelled on the eve of the weekend.
Formula 1: Drive to Survive season 3 trailer
Netflix previously released a typically action-packed teaser trailer.
After that, a fresh full-length trailer was released to get to blood pumping prior to the series arriving on the streamer.
What happened in season 2?
Drive to Survive season two followed the key movers and shakers across the 2019 Formula 1 season culminating in Lewis Hamilton claiming his sixth world title, nudging him to just one behind the legendary Michael Schumacher.
One of the series' strengths is that it followed all teams in some capacity, as opposed to focusing on the elite.
Season two opened with a heavy focus on the floundering Haas team, led by eccentric team principal Guenther Steiner, as they struggled to start the season in any form of rhythm or style. It made for compelling viewing, with driver clashes documented and some truly memorable fly-on-the-wall scenes.
