February 20, 2023 s5 of Netflix's DtS drops tomorrow. Producers have been answering questions about the intended star of s6 without Daniel Ricciardo. Ricciardo lost his seat (for a cool ~$20m) after flopping for a second season at McLaren.
Ricciardo was the undoubted star of DtS, now one of the most recognised drivers and the one doing the press rounds.
Producer Paul Martin says s6 will focus on Pierre Gasly in lieu of DR3.
