F1: THE MOVIE Deserves a Spot on the Podium with the Best Sports Movies Ever

The story centers on Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt), a retired F1 driver from the 1990s who is brought back to the sport to mentor a struggling but promising rookie, Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), for the fictional APXGP team.

Key highlights from the review include:

• Unprecedented Authenticity: The review heavily praises the film's commitment to realism. It was shot during actual F1 race weekends with the cooperation of all ten teams, and the actors drove modified F2 cars on the track. The involvement of producer and F1 champion Lewis Hamilton ensures its credibility for even the most dedicated fans.
• A Visceral, Immersive Experience: Much like Top Gun: Maverick, the film's primary goal is to put the audience directly in the action. The reviewer emphasizes the "visceral" sound design and "stunning" cinematography, which uses a new 6K camera to capture an intimate, in-cockpit perspective that makes you feel the speed and intensity.
• Compelling Human Drama: While the spectacle is the main draw, the film is grounded in a classic story of an aging veteran mentoring an ambitious newcomer. The review notes the high-stakes drama and the compelling relationship between the two lead characters.
• Broad Appeal: The article concludes that the movie is crafted to appeal to both hardcore F1 enthusiasts, who will appreciate the deep commitment to authenticity, and general audiences, who will be captivated by the thrilling action and human story.

In short, Nerdist's first look suggests the F1 movie successfully combines the groundbreaking, practical filmmaking of Top Gun: Maverick with a deep respect for the sport, creating what could be an unforgettable cinematic experience.
