Max Verstappen has lifted the lid on talks with Netflix bosses that led to him agreeing to feature in the latest Drive to Survive series.
The fifth season of the popular series, focusing on the Red Bull driver's dominant 2022 season, will be released on February 24. It will air just prior to the start of the 2023 campaign and the opening race of the season, the Bahrain Grand Prix.
Verstappen has previously refused to engage with those filming the series, arguing it gives a false portrayal of what goes on behind the scenes in F1. But after the Red Bull New York livery launch on Friday, the Dutch star explained that he had talked through his concerns with Netflix chiefs before agreeing to take part.
