Williams’ Carlos Sainz believes the upcoming Formula 1 film, ‘F1: The Movie’, will attract new audiences, although he acknowledges that longtime fans may find some parts overly dramatic. The film, set for international release on June 25, was shown to the entire grid before the Monaco Grand Prix, with Max Verstappen notably absent as he streamed on Twitch. The storyline follows Brad Pitt’s character, Sonny Hayes, coming out of retirement to assist the underdog F1 team APXGP. Sainz enjoyed the movie and thinks it will appeal to new fans, but recognizes that hardcore enthusiasts might find it too Hollywood. Despite any concerns about potential misconceptions, Sainz believes the film will have a positive impact by drawing in new viewers to the sport.
