Formula 1: Drive to Survive has become a landmark in sports documentaries, setting a high standard that other sports have emulated in the past five years. The series offers behind-the-scenes access, retrospective interviews, and race-day footage, providing viewers with a unique perspective on the sport. Its success relies on a one-year recap format, allowing for new insights into the already known outcomes of F1 races. The drama of racing, combined with the personalities of the drivers, enhances the engaging storytelling, making it a compelling watch that captivates audiences.
‘It feels like access to a world that we shouldn't be seeing,’ says DTS executive producer Tom Hutchings. ‘It's all the elements that you don't get from watching live sport.’
‘The show lives on character,’ says Hutchings. Fortunately, F1 is full of interesting personalities who bring drama and excitement to the narrative.
