On the podcast, Gay-Rees confirmed (2:00 from the end) that the plot’s “still kind of being worked out,” although the format would probably remain the same. He hinted that people would enjoy seeing a “proper Red Bull and Mercedes dust-off.”
“Red Bull are playing it down and being very calm and cool about it, but everyone seems to think it’s a two-horse race,” Gay-Rees said. “And then the battle for third could be pretty intense, I think, between McLaren and Ferrari, and possibly Aston Martin and a few others. So, you know, it’s shaping up to be a really good season.”
If that’s the case, team owners appearing on the reality series could include Red Bull’s Christian Horner, Mercedes’ Toto Wolff, McLaren’s Zak Brown, and Aston Martin’s Lawrence Stroll. They’re not new faces for fans of “Formula 1: Drive to Survive.”
Gay-Rees even referenced a possible fifth season here, saying that new Formula One rules going into effect in 2022 after a delay might affect the cars and make things more difficult. “It’s going to be pretty punchy, so you know, we’d love to keep on going with it,” he said. But first, we have to find out if Season 4 is coming.
