F1 fandom has reached a fever pitch over the past year thanks to Netflix’s docuseries “Drive to Survive,” which began filming in 2018 and is now in its fifth season. The prestige reality show points the camera on the rarefied drama of motorsports, and has created a whole new cult of F1 fans in the process.
Whether you’ve only been recently introduced to the cultish F1 fandom, or are a long-time follower of the top-tier international racing world, you’ll likely want a fast and affordable way to stream the most anticipated races.
The 2023 season kicked off this past weekend in Bahrain, where last year’s champion Max Verstappen won the race. The rest of the season will see more U.S events, with races scheduled for Miami in May, Austin in October and Las Vegas in November.
