Max Verstappen's absence from Season 4 of Netflix's Drive to Survive was unfortunate as the series played out his thrilling 2021 Formula 1 title battle with Lewis Hamilton. Verstappen felt that the series "faked" certain rivalries between drivers and so he would not be a part of the series. Instead, his Red Bull boss Christian Horner was used to fill in gaps in Verstappen's story - which ended with the 2021 title - and a dollop of controversy. Hamilton was in season 4 - but with Season 5 set to drop globally on Friday 24th February, are both drivers taking part in the new 10-part series?
