Director Joseph Kosinski found inspiration for F1: The Movie after witnessing Mercedes engineers create a race car at an astonishing speed during the Austin Grand Prix. This moment shifted his perspective on excitement and captivated him, blending the realms of human and technological interaction, exemplified by rookie driver Joshua Pearce, who seamlessly integrates with cutting-edge technology. The film contrasts Pearce's high-tech world with that of veteran driver Sonny Hayes, showcasing their differing approaches to racing and the deep connection between the drivers and their machines.
"But then I stepped into the Mercedes garage at Austin during the Grand Prix and watched these engineers build a car in real time..."
"Joshua is a person, but he is also a blip, a readout, a series of numbers battling against more numbers."
