Aside from the 2020 F1 season, the fans will be eagerly waiting for the second season of Formula One: Drive to Survive. Recently some of the F1 drivers went for the premier of the second season. Among them were McLaren duo Lando Norris and Carlos Sainz, who saw snippets of season two.

As it turned out, both drivers were left anxiously awaiting more from the Netflix season. They even chose to tease fans some more by talking about their favourite parts. Apparently, one of the moments was the full Mercedes’ meltdown at their home race in Germany.

Formula One: Drive to Survive season 1 already had the fans hyped

When the inaugural season of the hit show dropped, the reaction was tremendous. Unfortunately, neither Mercedes nor Ferrari were featured that time, but that has now been rectified in the second season.

The bad news for Mercedes was that the episode focused on them, would seemingly be at the worst time possible. At that time, they faced issues of an under-the-weather Lewis Hamilton, capped off with a sub-par performance at their home race, the German Grand Prix.

Season 2 will be even better, according to Lando Norris

The six-time World Champion ended that race down in P9, following time penalties to the Alfa Romeo duo. Meanwhile team-mate Valtteri Bottas put his W10 in the wall at the same spot where Hamilton has survived a spin earlier. Sadly, the Silver Arrows were not about to get any sympathy from future partners, McLaren.

Speaking about his most anticipated episode, Lando Norris simply said: “Hockenheimring, Mercedes.”

“I’m looking forward to seeing what comes out of Mercedes, and Ferrari because it’s the first time they are there,” his team-mate Sainz added.

Luckily, Mercedes did not hold their opinion against them, and even teased that moment further. Last year, even Red Bull’s Max Verstappen admitted to looking forward to watching Mercedes’ woes at the German GP.
