F1: The Movie

Racing legend Sonny Hayes is coaxed out of retirement to lead a struggling Formula 1 team—and mentor a young hotshot driver—while chasing one more chance at glory.
What critics thought
F1 lands as a crowd-pleasing motorsport spectacle that critics found kinetically directed and easy to enjoy, even as they acknowledged it leans heavily on genre formula. The gap between enthusiastic audience reception and more tempered critical opinion tells much of the story — reviewers largely concede it works on a visceral level while stopping well short of calling it original.
“nothing is exactly new in F1, yet at the same time it is all immensely, rewardingly renewable -- a true blue box of recycled cinematic trash, compacted into something irresistibly bright and shiny”
Barry Hertz·Globe and Mail
“the pleasures of F1 are engineered to bypass the brain. It's muscular and thrilling and zippy, even though at over two-and-a-half hours long, it has a toy dump truck's worth of plot”
Amy Nicholson·The Los Angeles Times
“an enjoyably arranged collection of all the visual attractions and narrative clichés that money can buy”
Manohla Dargis·The New York Times
“Formula One enthusiasts may disagree, and they may be delighted that their beloved motorsport has been put on the big screen in such a laudatory fashion. Everyone else: this is not where you want to be”
Nicholas Barber·BBC
“a deft addition to a sturdy lineage of motorsport flicks, from Rush and Gran Turismo to Ford v Ferrari and, most recently, Ferrari”
Lovia Gyarkye·The Hollywood Reporter
