Brad Pitt Finds Fresh Thrills on a Well-Worn Road in F1: Review
Briefly

The movie "F1" explores the high-stakes world of Formula 1 racing, focusing on Sonny Hayes, played by Brad Pitt, who returns to the sport to save his old friend Ruben's team from financial ruin. Winning a race becomes existential, symbolizing survival and glory. The film captures the adrenaline and dangers of racing, while also delving into the toxic determination of Hayes, who prioritizes victory above all else. Ultimately, it poses questions about what it truly means to win in both competitive and personal contexts.
The opportunity to know for a fact that you're the very best in the entire world... at this one thing, at least.
F1 certainly captures the adrenaline of being in the driver's seat on a visceral level, as well as the danger that lurks in every turn of the track.
Sonny is called an asshole more than once during this movie, and for good reason, because sometimes, Sonny is Chernobyl-level toxic in pursuit of a victory.
It's not the money but the promise of glory that compels Sonny to return, highlighting the deeper motivation behind the pursuit of racing success.
