The season will consist of 10 episodes and will once again be produced by Box to Box Films, with Academy Award-winner James Gay-Rees and Paul Martin as executive producers.

Some iconic moments fans hope to rewitness will be Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton’s epic duel that went down to the wire, Daniel Ricciardo and Mclaren’s first win in a while in Monza, Esteban Ocon’s win at Baku, Pirelli’s tyre troubles and the entire Abu Dhabi Grand Prix drama following Micheal Masi’s controversial decision.
