🥳 We’ve got a new season and we finally see Franco in action

Last Friday, 27 February, Season 8 of Formula 1: Drive to Survive premiered on Netflix… and at last we’ll see Franco on screen as a central part of the story.

The new season, made up of eight episodes, looks back at everything that unfolded in 2025 from inside the paddock:

Tough decisions, internal team pressure and moments we didn’t see during the races. In that context, Franco plays a strong role, with a close look at his journey within Alpine, demanding conversations, his opportunity on track and the sheer intensity of Formula 1.

😉 We’re not going to spoil it for you

All we’ll say is that you’ll see very cool behind-the-scenes moments, his ambition to race and the level of pressure at the very top. Last year we shared a short preview before Season 7 was released. Read it here.

🩵 And one very important thing

At FranClub we support with respect. No negative messages towards other drivers, teams or past seasons. We live this with passion, always with good energy and no attacks.

We know the Netflix series has created an incredible boom

We’re sure many of us started following F1 when it first came out, though maybe not everyone. How did you start following F1? Was it because of the series, because Franco arrived, or have you been a fan your whole life?
