Netflix's behind-the-scenes documentary tracking Formula 1 is entering its third season and follows last year's F1 which had a few hurdles to overcome with the effects of the pandemic and a revised calendar. Formula 1: Drive to Survive Season 3 drops on Netflix this Friday, and here's where and when you can watch it – and where you can catch up on the first two seasons.
F1 2021 kicks off next weekend in Bahrain, so even if you watched the 2020 F1 season when it was taking place, Drive to Survive will give F1 fans and newcomers alike an inside look at last year's goings-on which saw Lewis Hamilton take home his seventh world title ahead of this year's event; not sure if that should have had a spoiler alert, but it's too late now.
You'll have a whole week to binge all 10 episodes, which should follow some of Hamilton's journey since Mercedes got on board with Drive to Survive Season 2; both Mercedes and Ferrari didn't want the cameras following them around for the first season, but came around for season two, so Hamilton fans shouldn't be disappointed.
And it's not just Netflix subscribers who can watch previous episodes! Sky Sports subscribers can now watch the show. Scroll down for all the details on Formula 1: Drive to Survive Season 3, and how to watch the first two seasons.

Formula 1: Drive to Survive Season 3 – release date
Formula 1: Drive to Survive Season 3 hits Netflix this Friday, March 19, with all 10 episodes dropping on the service at once. The first season drip-fed viewers weekly episodes but last year, Netflix facilitated our binge-watching habit by releasing the entire season in one go, and we're happy to see it repeat the formula this year.
Formula 1: Drive to Survive Season 3 – how to watch
Obviously, you need a Netflix subscription to watch, with plans starting from $8.99 / £5.99 / AU$10.99 for a Basic sub, but if you want to take advantage of HD or UHD options, you'll want to upgrade to Standard for HD, or Premium for all HD as well as UHD.
