What to expect from season 8 of Drive To Survive

The 2025 F1 season saw inter-team drama from the outset between the two McLaren drivers which ultimately saw Oscar Piastri's title hopes slowly slip away as he struggled in the second half of the season.

Meanwhile the previous reigning champion Max Verstappen defied the odds with a generational comeback in the second half of the season - threatening to rob McLaren of their first driver's title since 2008.

Fans will also be eagerly waiting to get a closer look at Lewis Hamilton's much hyped debut season at Ferrari which was marred with disappointment.

The latest season will be available to watch just before the season open Australia on March 6.
