2025 F1 Thread

Ive been twice with a very high VIP, had a fabulous time, ate and drank like a king, had pit/garage access and way better viewing than even the Paddock Club, had a driver 24/7 and I stick to my post.
This looks good.
There was a Senna documentary on Monday night on the USA Network. I never watched it. Also a Ferrari documentary before that. It was pretty good.
OK F1 fans, I mean the real fans.
Will you be going to see the movie F1?
I will not go and see it.
I've been an open wheel racing fan since I was 15. Now 61.
I think people who love F1 and are die hards will be disappointed. The casual fan( mostly due to Netflix) will probably love it.
What die hard fan would believe a F1 team would hire a 60+ year old to drive in a race. Yes, I know it's Hollywood and Pitt is a big draw. And of course Hamilton will pump up the PR since he has gotten a paycheck from it.
The lack of summer blockbusters will probably make this movie a ton of money.

Not at all, I rarely and I mean rarely bother with Hollywood to start with. I saw a group of F1 journalists review the movie and said basically the same as you just posted. It’s a big budget summer movie with lots of hype, uses F1 as a backdrop but that’s about it. They did say the camera work and race scenes are impressive but the rest was way off the mark.
Sounds like it’s more Days of Thunder than Rush.

Not intrerested. Can't get past the "60 year old drives an F1 car" story. Pitt would have been a great "team boss / driver engineer" character. That would have been a better idea. The dynamics within the teams. That's what Drive to Survive did and they went into orbit with it. It'll be a Days of Thunder / Top Gun loud exciting "all icing but no cake" wankfest.
I don't miss racing films, even sitting through Steve McQueen's Le Mans. I'm not expecting another Rush, no film is, Brad Pitt is a smart actor. He's put together a solid cast. Unlike Tommaso Cruise he doesn't step on other actor to glorify himself. He may not be the central character of the film, it may be Damson Idris as a young hotshot driver. And of course I'm besotted with Kerry Condon (Rome, Ray Donovan, Better Call Saul, The Banshees of Inisherin....).
I'm going to take it in, there's hasn't been a good racing film since 2019. Ford/Ferrari, the esteemed Tracy Letts as Henry Ford II.

The build up to that scene was great, locking that prick in the office (forgot his name).
Of course I’ll watch it!
It’s Hollywood! It’s a movie! It’s fantasy! Its entertainment! It’s NOT a documentary! It’s fiction! Lighten up purists! Sheesh! Such uptight old farts! (I’m sure the same old boring dudes didn’t watch Barbie because Ken doesn’t really talk)

You‘re correct it’s PG-13. Don’t worry you’ll be 12 soon enough, then you’ll be 13, and since Barbie is a world wide phenomenon it will still be around when you turn 13. Keep eating your Wheaties and throw in some grass fed beef.
