F1 Drive To Survive Season 6:
and Hamilton challenged by f1 raval
The wait is over people – Season 6 of the epic F1 Netflix show ‘Drive to Survive’ WILL be launched TODAY (Friday February 23).
The Netflix sensation isn’t just a TV show; it’s a game-changer for Formula 1. Since its inception in 2019, the series has breathed life into the sport, igniting new markets and attracting a diverse, fresh audience. The U.S. serves as a prime example!
Just consider this: F1’s U.S. fan growth was about 10 percent since the Netflix series debut, according to a study by Nielsen.
The research showed that an estimated 44.9 million Americans were F1 fans in 2019, and that grew to a staggering 49.2 million in 2022.
And let’s not forget the impact on gender demographics. Female viewership skyrocketed from a mere 8% in 2017 to a commanding 40% in 2022, according to F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali.
And it’s not only that. Drive to Survive Season 5 had 569,884 minutes viewed in the first week and eventually increased to 224 million gross minutes, according to The Athletic.
With Drive to Survive revving up F1’s popularity in the U.S and the whole world, Netflix banks on its new series “NASCAR: Full Speed” to replicate this success and reel in new fans for the stock car racing scene.
When does Drive to Survive Season 6 launch?
So, the burning question for all F1 fans every year is when the new season will be available. The good news is that season 6 will premiere after 8am UK time on Friday, February 23, 2024 – the final day of pre-season testing and one week before the new season kicks off in Bahrain. So TODAY.
Now, for the bad news (cue dramatic music): brace yourselves, Guenther Steiner fans. This season might be his Netflix swansong after his shocking departure from Haas ahead of the 2024 season. So, this is your chance to enjoy every glorious, profanity-laced moment one last time.
But don’t worry! GPFans has got your back. We’ve compiled a list of some of Steiner’s best quotes from the series so far, so you can relive his legendary rants whenever!
