Formula 1 is finally back in Australia! Ahead of the season, we got a glimpse into how the new regulations are changing, and how teams are handling them. Cadillac enters the grid (slowly) with two well loved drivers in Checo Perez and Valtteri Bottas, but even behind them is the $200M+ Adrian Newey project at Aston Martin. Despite a huge investment and dream team, the car isn't fit to race ahead of the season opener. Plus, Red Bull brings in new seat changes in Arvid Lindblad and Isack Hadjar, which might pay off with the regulation changes. 

For our main story, we're reviewing Drive To Survive's most recent season. We'll talk about how the show has changed the DNA of Formula 1 and it's fanbase, how it's been good for the sport, and whether it has lost its spark. With a lackluster, shorter season, the show failed to find a real point of view or new hero, and has struggled since the departure of Daniel Ricciardo.
