Brad Pitt in rescue of a Formula 1 stable
Before making the spectators discover The world of Formula 1It is in the middle of the Daytona resistance test that opens F1, the film. Brad PittHalf awakened in its caravan, swallows a piece of sandwich, puts a card in your pocket and comes out putting the headphones. The Hollywood star performs here Sonny Hayes, a former F1 prodigy who, thirty years earlier, has undergone a serious accident, preventing continuing to continue in the competition of the queen of the car.
Not very attentive to what is happening around him, Sonny goes directly to the track to take over at night in this 500 thousand race. As soon as he puts the gas with his racing car, Joseph Kosinski and Jerry Bruckheimer is understood. After the success of Top Gun: Maverick (2021)The legendary director and producer pass melodies on the ground with F1, the filmhoping to cause the same sensations.
All love From Led Zeppelin in the ears, Sonny Rushes, produces muscle explosions, the crowd is delusional, The fireworks explode everywhereA helicopter flies over the vehicle … so that’s what it will be F1, the film. Also entertainment, Made in Hollywoodwho takes on a spirit Old school With this character of Sonny, as charismatic as it is detached from events, but who excels behind a steering wheel.
It is for its undeniable qualities as a pilot that his old friend Ruben (Javier Bardem), owner of Formula 1 APXGP StableContact it. But also because for three years his team has not achieved any point and nothing has been an improvement for the last 9 games. Ruben then makes a desperate bet offering To the aging of Sonny to roll for him. So, APXGP puts experience with him and Talent in the Making of Rookie Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris). A duo that will shine with aggression on the Sonny track and the ego of Giosuè. What the fools of video games remember F1 2021 The scenario of the mode Breaking point Which allowed to play the young Aiden Jackson sometimes, sometimes his Casper Akkerman model.
The world of F1 seen from Hollywood
From the point of view of production (which would have cost the modest sum of $ 300 million in Apple), we can only admire to see the shoulders of fiction with reality. The shooting was made during the 2024 Formula 1 championship, during several Grands Prix of the season with all the drivers at that moment. AND A single -Formula 2leter 2Changed to resemble a Formula 1, which distinguished itself during the Grand Prix of Great Britain 2023 going to put at the bottom of the grill at the time of departure, before leaving not to hinder the race. Subsequently, Joseph Kosinski and his team managed to give the impression that the two Apxgps were really rolling Next to Hamilton, Verstappen or Alonso. Some real events that occurred in the race last year were even integrated into the film.
Unfortunately, once the effects in the race, the scenario of F1, the film It is rather laborious. All the more for Formula 1 fans who, at best, will have fun The unlikely championship. During a preview of the film, the driver Carlos Sainz was also quite clear by declaring: “I would only say to the pure fans of the F1 to maintain an open mind for Hollywood“So, you have to do with the illegal Sonny methods to cause Safety carsThe unimaginable evolution of the single Seatro in such a short time, or with the defined role of each member of the team (engineers, technical director, main team, etc.).
F1, the filmA product for American neophytes
But after all, what does it matter, it’s cinema, no!? Yes, except that F1, the film has the aim of Promote the discipline more – Given the FIA in the project. A promotion for an American neophyte audience, which wants action and twists and becomes more than probability – but to those who will still explain the difference in performance between two types of tires. It must be said that Formula 1 has always developed more for a few years in America. In addition to the series Guide to survive from Netflix who led people to be interested, Three breeds on American soil Currently part of the calendar are currently: the United States Grand Prix, the Miami Grand Prix since 2022 and the Grand Prix of Las Vegas since 2023.
AS, F1, the film Play on several paintings And he won’t go to his ideas. We can only regret the lack of interaction between the protagonists of the film and the real drivers. While the meeting between the old and the new world, between what Sonny and Joshua embody (F1 of the 90s and modern F1 respectively) does not work not as good as in Top Gun: Maverick.
The reason could be precisely this Brad Pitt is not Tom Cruise. The latter ensures every recent project that wishes to save the cinema, creating the cinema. The cinema he knew with Tony Scott Top gun (1986) or on Days of thunder (1990)Obvious reference of Joseph Kosinski for His excellent opening scene in Daytona. Despite all the talent of the actor of Brad Pitt, this universe does not seem to correspond to him and to Tom Cruise. He is finally felt in their characters. Sonny is neither Maverick nor Cole Fabble. Sonny laughs at money, glory, even victory. He wants to drive the cars, roll again and again, leaving wives and teammates on the street, but the audience with it.
F1, the film by Joseph Kosinski, in cinemas the June 25, 2025. Above the trailer.
