F1 Movie reviews: Drivers CRINGE, Critics BINGE
Initial reactions to the new F1 movie indicate a mixed response from both critics and drivers, with opinions divided. The film features Brad Pitt and Damson Idris and was shot at various F1 circuit locations over the past seasons, with producer Lewis Hamilton ensuring authenticity.
The movie premiere took place in New York, where reviewers and drivers got a first look, resulting in mixed feedback from both groups. Film critics mostly praised the movie, highlighting its action-packed racing scenes and strong performances.
Critics like Variety’s Jazz Tangcay and Clayton Davis lauded the film for its thrilling portrayal of F1 racing and impressive visuals, particularly noting the performances of Brad Pitt and Damson Idris.
The movie is said to echo the excitement of classic summer blockbusters, drawing parallels to “Top Gun: Maverick” in terms of entertainment value. However, some drivers, like Carlos Sainz, noted a few awkward moments in the film, suggesting a slight disconnect from the real F1 world.
Despite the mixed reception, F1 fans eagerly anticipate the film’s official release in cinemas on June 25 and are eager to see how it portrays the high-speed world of Formula 1 racing.
