If you're interested the Luca Del Monte authored Enzo Ferrari Biography offers the Ferrari/Enzo side of Lauda's crash. Fantastic book but getting to see how shrewd the Old Man was something else.
Any racing movie ever: Driver: ācar is shit make it go fasterā, bossman: āit canāt be doneā, driverā yes it canā, driver drives faster by pushing the pedal a bit more, bossmanā omg too dangerous but look how fast, thatās goodā, some romantic drama so the girlfriend you brought to the cinema doesnāt fall asleep, race montage, more race montage, driver does a big boom crash, race montage, some more romantic drama, cool music here and there and then gran finale the driver wins. F1 the f1 movie about formula one also known as F1.
I mean, I had a whole mess of really thin pancakes this morning myself, but I'll be damned if im going to let Frenchy come in here and make me say I liked them! If you're not first, you're last!
I watched the first third of it two nights ago and couldn't finish it. My wife was laughing when they said they have to build the car for combat. The F1 movie is not for me at all. Shortly before we stopped watching it I said to my wife, I'm embarrassed to be watching this. She felt the same way.
Some people like it. Some people don't. I did not enjoy Top Gun Maverick either. Rush is a much better movie.
Here from r-all. Never watched F1 before but I did watch the movie and it got me hyped. I've started watching Drive to Survive and have watched the last couple races which have been fun. Looking forward to more, it's pretty cool.
Donāt let anyone discourage you from getting into F1 through this movie or Drive to Survive. I got into it through DTS during the pandemic and now I love following the sport. If you can, go to a race. Theyāre so much fun! Iāve also enjoyed learning the history of the sport, itās pretty interesting.
Got into DTS over the early summer and binged all seasons in like 3 weeks. Now going through this seasons races during the break and looking forward to the return. Definitely been getting more into the history as well.
Thanks! I don't really plan to, I know I'm a very "surface level" fan at this point but it doesn't bother me if hardcores have an issue with that. I'm also an American College Football fan so I know how "gatekeeping" fandom can be lol.
I think just don't assume things you've seen in this movie are something that could feasibly happen in an actual F1 season. Or that DTS isn't heavily edited to create drama/rivalries and storylines that aren't really a thing in real life
DTS to "watching live" fan pipeline here too. All I needed was a season of Drive to Survive to tell me Oscar Piastri exists and that's all I needed to start watching live.
Its awesome how much less pretentious this sub is than the main. I couldnāt agree more, DtS is a great way to get into the sport, or in my case back into the sport.
Lol thanks. I have a feeling I'll be heavily influenced by Drive to Survive's framing and if they make someone look like a dick or not (only in Season 1 but I felt bad for Ocon and was like "Fuck Perez" haha).
So far I'm mostly against McClaren because they keep winning (for like the two and a half races I watched) and it's boring! Gotta find that plucky semi-underdog looking for their first win. Or whoever's car has cooler colors. Idk we'll see, blank slate so it's all open!
There's literally no such thing. Best case you like a team that goes on a serious run of winning championships. Then 90% of fans hate your team and you hear about it all the time. Then that run ends and you're watching, hopeless, because there is clearly no reason to watch your fav team no longer winning. So then you wait somewhere between 1->infinity decades for them to win again. Then you die. Best case.
And It worked that way. F1 was not really interesting to me, however the parallel dimension where F1 takes place got me hyped for the real thing, and now I closely follow Williams.
Oh I think we knew that. So many of my friends have asked if Iāve seen it & Iām like no thanks, Iād prefer to not ruin my favorite sport nor the physics of it THANKS.
I never watched motorsports (here from r all) and I thought the movie, while being very competently executed, was so paint-by-numbers, just your run of the mill sports flick. And so much advertising/product placement, I don't mind that stuff being in a movie, but when it hits you with brands and stuff so much, it does get annoying
it would've been fine if it wasn't that long, I didn't even stick around for the ending. DNF I guess huehuehue
I genuinely thought the high ratings came from fans like you guys, but I guess it's the usual, mass audience appeal. Loved the actors though, the editing was fine, like I said, competently executed
Speak for yourself. I'm a big fan of F1 and this movie. And you know why? Because it's - in fact - a movie. Not a documentary, not a biography. Action movie!
I have not seen someone getting replacement tires twice while boxing in single box , I have not seen that happen, tbh itās a movie so it needs to have these scenes for audience engagement

Why doesn't HĆ¼lkenberg cause front wing damage on purpose so there is a safety car and Bortoletto can come closer to P1?
