Verstappen declined interviews and was largely a background figure in the show up to this point, leaving audiences without the story of his ascension to the top tier of the sport these last few years. Red Bull’s lead driver and one of the sport’s biggest stars right now, Verstappen boycotted several seasons of Drive to Survive due to complaints about the way Netflix portrayed various elements of the sport - from drivers’ relationships to events that occurred during races. One of the biggest changes in the series’ fifth season is something that was conspicuously absent from Drive to Survive in recent years: the presence of reigning world champion Max Verstappen. This review of Formula 1: Drive to Survive season 5 is based on the first eight episodes of the 10-episode season. Like in the seasons before the current one, the latest set of Drive to Survive episodes offer a look inside the sport that’s as entertaining and fascinating for newcomers as it is for longtime fans. That includes the drivers, teams, and business side of Formula 1. Season 5 of Formula 1: Drive to Survive gives the series a much-needed overhaul in its chronicle of the 2022 season, tweaking some widely criticized elements of the show while still delivering a deep, thoughtful dive into the action both on the track and off it.
