Season 6 of the FIA Formula 1 World Championship shows what happened during last year's 23 high-speed races. It also reveals the strategies and plans teams make before the races begin. The season starts with Red Bull wanting Belgian and Dutch driver Max Verstappen to win the championship for the third time in a row. Other teams are working hard to do better than they did last year.

There are 10 teams and 20 drivers competing for the championship in 2023. The series shows never-before-seen footage of what happens both on and off the track. This includes things like changes in the middle of the season, rivalries between drivers, struggles within teams, and surprising things that happen on race day.

New drivers and familiar ones get the chance to show how good they are behind the wheel. Sometimes teams don't do as well as they hoped, and they have to quickly figure out how to do better. Team leaders also work hard to make sure their teams stay competitive throughout the season. 

Executive produced by Academy Award winner James Gay-Rees (Amy, Senna) and Paul Martin (Diego Maradona) for Box to Box Films, the highly anticipated Formula 1: Drive to Survive Season 6 premieres on Feb. 23.
