Singapore takes centre stage in new Drive to Survive episode

Singapore will take centre stage in a special episode of Netflix’s latest season of Formula One: Drive to Survive, which features behind-the-scenes footage documented by five drivers over an intense 72-hour period. Viewers will - for the first time ever - get to experience the Formula One Singapore Grand Prix through the lens of an all-star lineup consisting of Alex Albon, Charles Leclerc, George Russell, Lando Norris, and Pierre Gasly as they navigate the Marina Bay Street Circuit.

Titled In the Heat of the Night, it is the seventh episode of the seventh season of the Formula One: Drive to Survive series, which premiered globally on Netflix alongside other episodes on 7 March 2025. In it, viewers will experience the iconic night race through the driver's perspective, from practice sessions to the raw emotions following the gruelling final race.

In addition, Ferrari's Leclerc also gave plaudits to the Marina Bay Street Circuit, naming it as one of his favourite tracks of the season, and described the feeling of driving on street tracks as incredible.

The episode was filmed during the Formula One Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2024 in September that year, in partnership with Netflix, Box to Box Films, and the Singapore Tourism Board.
