If you love fast cars and loud engines, F1: The Movie might be just your kind of film. Directed by Joseph Kosinski, the man behind Top Gun: Maverick and produced by racing legend Lewis Hamilton, this new movie brings the world of Formula 1 to the big screen in full throttle.
The movie follows Sonny Hayes, played by Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt. He’s a former Formula 1 driver who returns to the sport to guide a young and talented teammate. It’s a story of second chances, mentorship, and finding your place in a fast-moving world. You’ll see classic rivalries, emotional moments, and of course plenty of high-speed action.
One of the best parts of the movie is the racing scenes. They’re not just special effects—many scenes were filmed on real F1 tracks during actual Grand Prix weekends. The actors, including Pitt, even drove specially modified F2 cars to make it feel as real as possible. The cockpit shots and engine sounds are so intense, you’ll feel like you’re right there on the track!
Visually, the movie is stunning. The camera work, lighting and effects are all top-class. The director used the same high-tech tools that made Top Gun: Maverick so popular. The result? A thrilling, cinematic experience that shows off the power and speed of modern race cars like never before.
Some moments in the movie stretch the rules of Formula 1 too far. For example, Hayes does things that would probably get a real driver banned, but here, he’s treated like a hero. Also, while the movie tries to show more women in F1, their roles often feel underdeveloped or just there to support the male lead.
If you’re in the mood for a fun, fast-paced movie with exciting racing scenes, F1: The Movie is a great pick. It’s a solid summer film that brings the thrill of Formula 1 to the big screen. F1: The Movie is also showing in multiplexes across Nepal.
