Drive To Survive has been a popular addition to the F1 world in recent years and it could be set to stay on our screens after the production company behind the show secured an investment.
The popular Netflix series Drive To Survive may have a secure future after its producer, Box to Box films, secured a multi-million dollar investment from private equity investor Bruin Capital. Though the exact stake taken by Bruin is unclear, it is believed to be a minority investment. Since its debut in 2018, Drive To Survive has introduced a new wave of fans to Formula 1, particularly in the United States, where the sport had struggled to gain viewership. The series, which follows various storylines on and off the race track, has run for five seasons so far but has faced criticism from some drivers for its injection of drama and plot points. A sixth season is expected to be released before the start of the 2024 F1 campaign, and Box to Box founders have been searching for investment opportunities for some time, with George Pyne of Bruin Capital now joining their board of directors.
