The momentum of 2021 launched Red Bull—but most particularly its wunderkind Verstappen—into a new era of dominance that threatened to bore viewers and undo all of the hard-earned popularity Formula 1 had gained after millions of lockdown-bound viewers tuned into Netflix’s Drive to Survive during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Red Bull have conducted a shock Formula 1 track test with a multi-world champion. The drive took place at the Red Bull Ring in Austria, the home of the F1 constructors' title holders, just days before Max Verstappen clinched a stunning victory at the Brazilian Grand Prix .
