Netflix’s ‘Drive To Survive’ has famously been a huge⛎ success for F1 - and is credited with increasing their popularity in the USA, in particular - but this new step represents a different route onto people’s screens.

Felicity Jones, an actress who has appeared in Star💞 Wars and The Theory Of Everything, will star 𝐆in and produce the new show.

Foꦅrmula 1 itself will also be involv💜ed as a producer.

The show will be about “the tumultuous ascension of a fictitious family-owned💝 Formula 1 team as it contends with fierce personalities, ever-changing rivals, and multi-mil𝓡lion-dollar stakes.

“It will blend ficti🅘on with the real-world of F1.”

Jones said: “It is an honour ♕to be part of this unique 🎶and exciting partnership with Formula 1. 

“The high stakes world of F1 continually delivers edge-of-your-seat drama and to have the opportunity to create a sho🙈w based in thi🤪s world is a thrilling prospect.”
