With the embargo lifted today on reviews for season 3 of Drive to Survive, I can honestly so it's the best so far. The consistency across the series as a whole and the quality of the story telling is outstanding. The Mercedes and Ferrari episodes in particular are excellent.
The Mercedes episode is incredibly heartfelt and human, with a real gut punch ending. The Ferrari episode is also brilliantly and unexpectedly candid as the team's relationship with Sebastian deteriorates. A conversation between Seb and Christian Horner is a real wow moment, too.
The Racing Point saga is dealt with well, spread over a few episodes, and makes what was a complex situation manageable for a new audience without skirting too lightly for die hards. The second Red Bull seat and the Pierre / Alex storyline is also nicely handled.
And of course there's Romain's accident, set amidst the swirling uncertainties at the end of the year. The gravity and severity of the crash are tempered with some touching and at times humorous asides from Romain and Marion, which only serve to reinforce a racer's humanity.
