Directed by Joseph Kosinski and starring Brad Pitt, Damson Idris, and Javier Bardem, F1: The Movie is a high-octane motorsport drama that follows a legendary Formula One driver who comes out of retirement to mentor a rising young star. Together, they navigate fierce rivalries, personal stakes, and the intense world of racing.
The movie gave Days of Thunder vibes, but sleeker, smarter, and with a modern edge, thanks in part to producers Jerry Bruckheimer who worked on both projects and the authentic touch of Lewis Hamilton’s involvement. The film tapped into themes of mentorship, legacy, and the idea that rivals often have more in common than they think. While parts of the story were a bit predictable, its crisp cinematic style still helped to deliver suspense, a few welcome surprises, and plenty of heart.
I appreciated the diverse casting with women and
people of color in important positions that had the potential to influence the
success this team and this film. Leading the charge was Pitt and Idris who had
great chemistry. There was enough character development to make you care about
more than just who crossed the finish line first. There were also quite a few
familiar faces throughout who made cameos, which reflected the real-world glamor and
global appeal of the F1 universe.
Even if you go in knowing nothing about F1, the
film brings you into that world without overwhelming you.
