Netflix’s ‘Drive To Survive’ has famous🀅ly 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 scꦕreens.

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

🅰Formula 1 itself will also be involved as a producer.

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

“It will blend fiction with the ไreal-world of F1.”

J🧸ones said: “It is an honour to🦩 be part of this unique and exciting partnership with Formula 1. 

“The high stakes world of F1 contin𝓀ually delivers edge-of-your-seat drama and to have the opportunity to create a show based in this world is a thrilling prospect.”

Separately, F1 will hit movie screens when the film produced💃🎀 by Lewis Hamilton and starring Brad Pitt is released.
