User Review

Boring and monotonous laps on the track—that's how motorsport looked to me. But Joseph Kosinski, director of the new film “F1,” creates incredible technical magic, demonstrating flawless racing action from various expressive angles, which gains phenomenal speed as the story progresses, pushing you deep into your seat, making it impossible to tear yourself away from the screen and interrupt the action for a pit stop.

The authors do not shy away from throwing in concepts from professional motorsport, momentarily disorienting the average viewer, but everything is structured in such a way that by the middle of the film, even a “newbie” like me understands why tires need to be warmed up and how important fractions of a second are at a pit stop.

The film tells the story of Sonny Hayes, who was a rising star in Formula 1 but disappeared from the radar after a serious accident in one of the races. However, 30 years later, the hero gets a chance to redeem himself and act not only as a co-driver in his old friend's team, but also as an experienced mentor.

Thus, in addition to the bright and dynamic battles on the track, a real whirlwind of emotions swirls around the conflict caused by the head-on collision of the diametrically opposed philosophies of the two main characters: experience and ambition, cold calculation and immaturity, the charismatic Sonny Hayes and the main driver Joshua Pierce, a victim of social media and glamour.

The narrative is unapologetically built on time-tested plot devices, so don't expect any structural experiments or sharp plot twists while watching, but the enjoyment of a well-constructed story in a racing setting more than makes up for it.

Brad Pitt is incredibly charismatic and charming in the role of Sonny Hayes. The initial mystery of his character is disconcerting, and his ability to play on other people's nerves is impressive. It is precisely the success of his non-trivial decisions in preparing for the race and on the track that makes him a true role model in the eyes of others, a rolling steamroller of authority that sweeps away doubts and objections in its path. He is not only skilled at turning the steering wheel, but also at turning other people's opinions, twisting any accepted norms and rules to his advantage. Thus, literally on the fly, he becomes the center of gravity of the film.

Pitt's age only benefits the film. Thanks to him, the generational conflict is perceived in places as more comical, with palpable irony. Not to mention that he is still in excellent physical shape and can easily outrun any youngster in Hollywood.

The director, as if following internal ethical constraints, deliberately downplays the consequences of any accidents for the body on screen, shifting the emphasis to internal experiences. Although Sonny's image creates the impression of a muscular macho man, this is only a shell that hides an inner emptiness and a broken spirit. The film exposes the vulnerable side of motorsport, showing not only fast sports cars, popularity, and the price of victory, but also Sonny's personal drama—a deep existential crisis that haunts him after a serious accident.

The film can be considered one of the most expensive advertisements for Formula 1—not only as a phenomenon, but also as a symbol of speed and adrenaline for a wide audience. It is not without embellishment, but the film makes a considerable effort to preserve and convey an authentic atmosphere, paying attention to details: filming at real race locations, piloting real cars, and having real racers assist the screenwriters. And the authors realize this idea to the fullest.

The film masterfully demonstrates that although Formula 1 races may appear to be a competition between soulless machines, even in the most technologically advanced sport, the human factor is what ultimately determines the outcome.

Formula 1 is not an innovative film in terms of drama; its ending is predictable, and what happens on screen is often easy to guess. However, this does not detract from the film's entertainment value — on the contrary, despite the fact that it does not blow your mind, it serves as a benchmark simulator for immersion in the world of speed and drive, giving you the opportunity to tickle your nerves without coming into contact with real danger.
