Max Verstappen does not rule out reappearing in Drive To Survive

Will we see again Max Verstappen in the Drive To Survive series? After choosing not to appear in the last season, the Dutchman has half-opened the door to a return. For the moment, no official contract has been signed, but discussions continue for the comeback of the world champion in the Netflix production.

« I'm not going to be too negative about it because in the meantime I've spoken with the people who are in charge and who produce the series. I think we have found a good agreement for the future ", explains Max Verstappen in the podcast Pardon My Take. Before looking at his future within the series, the Dutchman could not help but joke about his absence indicating that he “ saved all my energy for next season »

Max Verstappen's criticisms of Drive To Survive

The pilot Red Bull also took the opportunity to recall the reasons which pushed him to no longer appear in the Netflix production. A series which we recall worked greatly for the development of Formula 1 in the United States and with a younger audience. “ Last year I wasn't really involved. There were a few things I wasn't really happy with, especially the simulating fake rivalries between drivers. Sometimes they portray pilots differently than they actually are. Behind, people who discover Formula 1 will say to themselves “Oh this guy is an a**” which is not true in everyday life, » says the Dutchman. 

For the moment nothing has been done but discussions to see Max Verstappen on screen again are underway and an agreement could soon be found. “ I think for the future we have a good understanding of how to work together and I'm sure that in the next season you will see a little more of me. » This year, his duel with Charles Leclerc could be one of the main intrigues of the 5th season of Drive to Survive.
