The new season of Drive to Survive will be released soon but Red Bull driver Max Verstappen will not be part of it. The story arc of the fourth edition of the documentary is almost certainly going to revolve around the Dutchman’s title race with Lewis Hamilton.
Netflix bosses will focus on the pair who headed into the final race of the season on equal points to set up a thrilling end to the campaign in Abu Dhabi.
However, it ended in controversial circumstances after Verstappen overtook Hamilton on the last lap of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. While race director Michael Masi attracted criticism after allowing some cars to unlap themselves and others to not, which allowed the manoeuvre to happen. The win saw Verstappen claim his first world title but he will not be discussing it on the Netflix hit as he says the way in which the show portrays drivers is why he won’t be featuring.
