F1 movie nominated for four Oscars: Here’s what our F1 reporter thinks it got right and wrong
F1: The Movie has received four Oscar nominations, including a nod in the sought-after Best Picture category, with its star-studded cast and crew making waves in the film industry.
The movie, led by Brad Pitt and produced by F1 legend Lewis Hamilton, saw success last summer under the direction of Joseph Kosinski.
Recognition for F1 also extends to other technical categories like film editing, sound, and visual effects.
The film’s box office success, surpassing $600 million worldwide, solidified its position as the top original film of 2025 and Pitt’s most successful venture since World War Z in 2013.
While it finds acclaim in certain aspects such as cinematography and racing sequences, criticisms have been raised regarding its Hollywood-esque storyline and portrayal of female characters.
The Oscars ceremony, set for 15 March in Los Angeles, coincides with the Chinese Grand Prix weekend, adding further buzz to F1: The Movie’s impact on both cinematic and motorsport fronts.
