When to expect season 4 of DTS?

Netflix affirmed that the fourth season of DTS will take the streaming platform by storm on March 11, 2022. And much like the previous seasons, the forthcoming edition will cover the events surrounding the latest Formula One campaign, i.e. the 2021 season.

The timing of the release, though, seems a bit odd, as most of the racing fraternity will be busy watching the second testing in Bahrain which is scheduled from March 10 to March 12. Only this time, the hype around winter testing is likely to be bigger than ever, considering the first testing in Barcelona will happen behind closed doors. Hence, the desperation in the fans is certainly going to be at its peak.

Well, if you’re one of those F1 fans stuck in a dilemma about whether to watch Drive to Survive or the Sakhir winter testing, we’d suggest you wait for a day post-release; There is a one-week window you could use up before F1 flags off the 2022 season. Following the end of the final testing on March 12, the next action takes place exactly a week later at the Bahrain Grand Prix.
