Alonso is now the second oldest driver on the grid.
And Hamilton is the third
Alonso is a rookie compared to this 60 year old.
@@Jejking he's downright geriatric.
Hahaha!
How can a pensioner play an F1 driver.
The least believable bit looks like being the idea of an eleventh team getting into F1
And the Andretti team took that personally..
with an american non the less lol FIA be like GET THE FHHH OUT! lol
American at that...
@@y_fam_goeglyd 😂
I disagree, although the FIA shut the door to Andretti, there's always provision for the possibility of an 11th team in the pit lane
“We need to build our car for combat”
Kevin Magnussen: “You son of a bitch im in”
This comment wins the internet for today.
Rick and Morty 😂😂😂
Yes! K Mag for the win!
Once again most unsportive Driver off the Grid
“Brad, it’s James.”
Underrated comment
Okay, that's the only "it's James" comment that's ever made me laugh.
"We gotta let the lil colored fella past for the plot."
Sorry, I don't get the reference ?
@@kenhiew9299 "Valtteri, it's James." Famous for being what James Vowles, the team principal of Williams Grand Prix Engineering but then the motorsport strategy director of Mercedes-AMG Petronas, said to Valtteri Bottas when he had to do things like not fight Hamilton due to the fact that Bottas might win despite being the #2 driver (German GP 2018).
being fast in the turns is something no F1 team has ever thought about before
Contary to popular belief Colin Chapman didn't want his Lotus' to be lighter to be faster round the bends, he wanted them to be lighter so if a driver forgot to take a dump before the race the car would still be the same weight as normal.
when i heard this quote i knew the script is made by someone who probably watched 2-3 videos on f1 cars and tried to base the movie on that. feels super cringe.
@@tashakay1734 This, this is beyond cringe.
@@tashakay1734didnt Lewis produce it? Hard to believe they'd force a script passed him without him reading it. Blame the F1 driver who signed off on it
@@tashakay1734 the person is actually you because there have been F1 cars that were slow asf on the straights but fast in corners.
Easiest guess, the 2022 mercedes w13, car was slow the straights but competitive in corners.
"who said anything about safe?" -murica
And Colin Chapman
plot twist...driver has 8 kids
That's some dangerous driving man
🦅🦅🦅
I bet you anything some people in F1 know the script. It's about using wing endplates to slice tires. Mclaren knows xd
F1 to Brad Pitt: You want to film a movie? Of course we have space... look we even made an extra paddock space for your fictional F1 team.
F1 to Andretti Racing: I'm sorry there really is no more space for you.
I was thinking the same thing. 😂
it's cause andretti was'nt going to be competitive, competitive means not being seconds off the rest of the grid HAAS 2021 was the last time you could call a team uncompetitive, and for a new 11th team they should be able to get 5th in the constructors or higher otherwise they are'nt worth it
@@Lora_BeolabThats complete BS. It’s prize money. If competitiveness is the issue then boot Williams and Haas. At least Andretti had the backing of a manufacturer and that gave them the resources to be competitive. And one of the largest wealthiest manufacturers in the world at that.
Obviously there is no space. How else would they be able to fit the fake team in, duh.
This is ONLY FILMED AT THE FEW TRACKS THAT HAVE EXTRA GARAGES…….. geez…you are new to F1?
F1 absolutely needs more wide-angle onboards to give a better sense of the speed.
Yuppppppppppp
True, and the on-board camera also needs to be in a higher position like the one in this movie so that we can see the nose and front wing of the car. The camera in this film is much better than the T-camera in the official broadcast.
The designers won't allow for it, though.
@@MK-sw7do yeah, current cameras with only helmet over the entire screen and nothing else are almost useless
@@MK-sw7dowhy are you so dumb? That would not pass the safety standards
8:10 Perez spinning out in qualifying is actually him filming for the F1 movie
They must have needed several extra takes because he keeps doing it.
🤣
@@F0XD1ESavage 😅
😂😂@@F0XD1E
McLaren already took Brad Pitt's "we need a car built for combat" to heart with their front wing. 😂
Yeah, they are going to put also machine guns like 007 Aston Martin on Goldfinger.
@sabataskull9661As for the Aston Martin F1 team they have a device called Lance which is capable of taking out any driver.
@@NotAcvp3lla His name is Stroll. Lance Stroll.
@@NotAcvp3lla I wonder if RocketPoweredMohawk will appear in the movie
The "combat" part is a hangover from Top Gun and Maverick!
Brad Pitt - "where did our corning speed go?"
Pit wall - "we are checking"
Pitt wall, hehe
It's ferrari pitwall 😂
The passion for this film and the sport are beyond expected levels. I can't wait to see this!
Not enough garage spaces for Andretti huh?
@@mgers75 yep, I remember that excuse too. What a joke.
@@andyf1210 This movie is almost feeling like a middle finger to Andretti, what a joke
LOL good one
They asked Andretti how they would set up their car and they said "for lap times" and F1 rather liked the answer "for combat".
This is only filmed at SILVERSTONE…the other 23 tracks don’t have the room
if this is a success - then they will make a sequel called F2
good one
Came to say this! Sequel name ruined 😂😂
They'll probably go F1: Apex or F1: reloaded or something 😂😂😂
It WILL be a complete flop because it is trying to be 'black panther' of F1... more about the black than the reality. Hamilton will be to blame. It will be utter shite.
How did they lead with one of the worst lines in moviemaking? "Set up the car for combat" what the fuck are they gonna do, put missiles on it? Armour plating? As if McLaren and Red Bull and Ferrari haven't realised that F1 cars also turn? Seems interesting they'd market this towards F1 enthusiasts and then the opening line is something an 11 year old would come up with.
My guess is they needed an excuse to have the words "Mercedes, Ferrari, RedBull, Aston and McLaren" in the first two seconds of the trailer. To make the brain release funny chemicals because it knows these names.
I don’t know why, but this comment specifically got me dying 😂
I mean how else would you have written it to make it interesting for the casual viewer?
Don't let a single line ruin your impressions on this, look at it in a bigger picture.
@@accent1666 Why do we need a tacky opening line anyway? Let the racing do the talking.
I think the movie isn't really targeted to the enthusiasts. Scott has a point of this being a marketing opportunity for F1, show it on the hollywood big screens to bring in people who aren't familiar to the sport. Us who have been watching the sport for years are already numb to the technical terms being thrown around might be able to point out how terrible the lines are, but for the average person who has never seen the sport it wouldn't matter. But yeah Brad's line was actually really cringe loll
I think they missed a trick not having merch that was for sale online but also maybe given out for free at the races they filmed at so they could have had a presence in the crowd shots, I’m sure they’ll do that with cgi but the real aspect of that is hard to replicate
We can start telling F1 movie fans (those who have never watched F1 before) that in the group picture, the Red Bull guy standing right next to Idris is an actor who actually gets to test drive a real Red Bull car and eventually end up winning the Championship 3 times, it will be hell of a story lol
😂
Nice 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
and had the most dominant season ever 😂 , gonna be more fun than trolling dts guus😂
Maybe an actor could sell the line about not moving under braking, though.

@@JusticeSheperdI know because in 2022 pre season there website was compromised and I got access to there site and could literally change anything I wanted and I contacted Haas media team who got me with there team and apparently in 2022 they didn't even have a full time web developer anyways they ended up telling me Guenther will speak to me and I told him exactly what's wrong and he first denied it existed even though I literally changed a entire news report and even sent a publishment saying hello world which was sent to all the journalist too. After 25 minutes he basically told me I don't care I have the Russians to deal with I don't care about this ( some slurs ) anyways got contacted from FOM personal and he thanked me and we joined a live meeting with Guenther and I can't remember but I think Tom from F1 marketing and than Mr Guenther started saying I should have told him first although I had a Google meeting with him. After some time the F1 guy was super nice and told Guenther to calm down and I am clearly young ( 16 at the time ) and let's just fix the issue. Ended up getting a fan call with Yuki.
BTW Haas person who were in touch were all nice and worried about it
"we need to build our car for combat" said no F1 driver ever
And this is not a documentary, lol. You should listen to fake commentary Netflix produces for DTS, which they claim is actually a documentary.
I thought Kevin Magnuson said this a few races ago, could be wrong though

@@ZoltanHuberttrue
They should’ve muted the last few seconds of the trailer and just let the car make the sound
Nah if its V8/V10 then definitely yes. The V6T Hybrid sounded nice but Queen's guitar rifts there is super cool to match with the mood of the trailer. In the film they shouldnt, but I hope they turn it up LOUD for the scene because V6T Hybrid is actually way louder in person than what F1 broadcast can translate since they have commentaries to overlay on top. The movie should at least try capture that.
They're gonna make the movie about fighting for 10th place the most intense thing ever
That first dialogue just completely ruined the immersion...what the hell was even that?
True.
sounds like red letter media pulling the dialogue out of their butts
It’s the Disnification of storytelling. Hit all the demographics, show every type of person in the best light except one truly awful completely unrealistic stereotypical thug.
Complete lack of believability or subtlety in the story.
Someone saw the rise in popularity of F1 and said let’s profit from it.
It makes “Days of Thunder” look cool by comparison.
I’m seeing a huge financial flop. Confused movie fans. Disappointed race fans (“Ferrari” anyone?).
And a lot of people re-appreciating Steve McQueen.
they're going to put blades on the hubs
I assume its supposed to be an American team and they are stereotyping American attitudes, which in this case is the antithesis of how F1 has been run for 30 years.
As a vfx artist the coolest part of this movie is how they’re going to make the team appear to be in the actual races.
It’s going to be really interesting to see what they do for the teams liveries since they filmed most of the driving last year with reshoots this year. Like will sauber be the old colour or the new bright green?
it turns out they’re going to be using footage from the teams and then replacing the teams car with their own recorded footage, it’s gonna be an amazing cut out job. I assume if theyre going to include any crashes with other teams those are going to be their own set off stunts.
The things I'm hoping for with this movie is a well written story, characters with depth and not just "I want to win", and exciting moments that doesn't lean on crashes to add drama. The only way this becomes a hit is if we're actually immersed and not just watching a movie. So hopefully the real life integration into F1 events is a symbol it will be good and not just a stunt to attract attention.
You are going to be horribly disappointed I'm sure!
lmao, I forsee a dark future where all of your points wont happen. Hollywood doesnt care.
Enter "Driven" the worst racing movie ever.
Gran Turismo did this really well, mostly because the story was already real. They didn't need to invent characters like they did here.
unfortunately when the trailer has “so we need to be faster in the turns” and “a car built for combat”
I’m not expecting much. I mean they didn’t even say “corners”. like come on… if you really spent 12 months getting immersed in F1 then you’d know to say corners not turns. smh
that is a huge tell that whoever wrote the script is not an F1 fan and doesn’t know much of F1 or racing. so that also makes me pretty pessimistic about the quality of the story.
I got the feeling that this movie will be DTS turned to 11... wtf is that opening dialogue??
It was something technical for people who have no idea whatsoever what motorsport even is. I don't mind it, tbh.
The difference between this and DTS is that DTS is a documentary that sometimes bends reality while this is a fictional movie that by design bends reality. Like in Rush, not everything was realistic but still an enjoyable movie
@@tomas.lambert Yep. "Documentary" from Netflix has gone as far as removing drivers from events to create a narrative. This has little to do with irl events by default.
It’s a Hollywood movie and not a movie made purely for f1 fans get over it.
Yes but this is a hollywood movie with F1 as a setting. Not a "documentary" making up fake story lines.
For those that don't know, the on board of Pitt's car crashing into the barriers is actually from Perez's Red Bull from last year and they rendered in the movie car on top of his.
Ofc it’s Perez 😹
The whole dialogue at the beginning of the trailer is just...awful. Battling them in the turns? Setting the car up for 'combat?' WHAT? 😂😂
Yeah, no one that has EVER driven on a racetrack speaks like that. Ever. This will suck.
Aston Martin and Alpine better send the engineers with a notepad to the cinema!
i agree no one in the racetracks speaks like that, but thats how Hollywood make dialogs and it works, Ford vs Ferrari has this level of cringy dialog and the movie was a hit.
On the other hand, Hollywood writers arent gonna bore us with F1 technicalities, they have to make it simple, otherwise most of the people who could watch this in the teather wouldnt understand.
And lastlyt, i dont know about F1 simulators, but most racing video games are like that, some cars are good on the straights, other ones are good in the corners and so on, in order to compensate and thats how racing videogames are balanced (that and slingshoting, but they cant portrait that in a movie).
Anyway, just enjoy the movie guys, no need to be hating.
@@ChuyR. Ford vs Ferrari had great dialogue though
@@Kylosgrande it was based on real people with larger than life personalities.
I have a feeling the "we need a car made for combat" line is part of a much bigger conversation. What it REALLY means is probably building a car that's really good in dirty air, in the sweepers, with mid/low-speed grip that can make the car actually perform well since it won't be able to pass on the straights with DRS. And yes, part of that mindset means building a car that can bang sidepods and not fall apart, as it were.
Interesting to note that EA Sports is one of the sponsors. Has me wondering if F1 25 will have the APX GP livery for the player car as part of the promotion?
I hadn't even noticed that yet. There will definitely be an APX GP content pack at some point. Livery, helmet, suit and gloves. They often do that with the F1 games.
Interesting. Maybe EA Sports are also going to replace cgi with live action!
Excited to see how well they can translate the feeling of driving an F1 car to the big screen.
Going to an F1 race in person, racing on a simulator, and watching onboards never truly do justice to how insane it must feel.
Ever Played VR F1 ? It is so Aweesome
I commend everyone who makes a movie with practical effects instead of CGI. Look at Master and Commander, movie from 2003. They made the whole ship, and everything was filmed there. Insane and still holds today. I'll watch this movie, even though I think the plot will be 2024-Hollywood-like.
This attitude counterintuitively just discredits VFX artists, as this movie and every other uses incredible effects you just don’t notice. I think what you mean is you don’t like bad VFX, which is brought on by terrible producers and directors.
Yep. There's other movies like this as well. The original Jurassic Park holds up better than its sequels.
There is no "practical instead of CGI" anymore. EVERY film these days will have CGI.
Yes, Master and Commander used real replica ships but they mixed it with CGI and scale models as well.

@@therealquaid1694 Yeah, as we all know F1 is dominated by women, drivers, engineers and mechanics all are mostly women, I think they should have put a woman of colour in position of head designer that's more realistic.

@sam-nariman6236 I think they needed a female midget of colour to tick a few more boxes.

My main concern would be with regards to the actual story, just going by this teaser... I guess we'll have to wait and see...
There's a lot of people here already complaining about the film, and I'm just thinking: But it's just a teaser, a glimpse of what is to come.
@@carlosandresvillagra2372 But that's the point, isn't it? This is a teaser, a glimpse of what is to come...
And they choose to start it all with that piece of dialogue... The only dialogue in the teaser... That is why I think everybody is concerned... But as I said, I guess we'll have to wait and see... I am hopeful though. It could still be good.
@@carlosandresvillagra2372 Have you ever heard the saying "First impressions count"?
If that's how a film presents itself to me in the first impression, you shouldn't be surprised. After all, teasers/ trailers are ultimately intended to lure people into the cinema or to rent/buy the film. Based on this teaser, I'd rather save my money...
I’m cautiously optimistic. I’m hoping it will be like top gun maverick. A decent story to go along with amazing action sequences and feel good moments.
That first shown dialoge was already incredibly cringe :X.
Calling it now: Other than the cinematography this will SUCK.
@@ross-carlson Kosinski is like that, top notch cinematography but the actual story is not that much.
for some reason him saying turns and not corners just sounds so odd
@@Kylosgrande It sounds very....well...American.
@@dylansmit3883 hopefully the script doesnt have alot of odd sounding motorsport phrases. it could be a good movie. Ford vs Ferrari is one of my favorite
I hope you guys do a feature about Grand Prix (1966) close to this movie's release. That movie was and is something else when it came to an 'immersive' racing film.
or James Garner's Indy car. Frankenheimer put auto racing in a whole other light with the cinematography in Grand Prix.
Its awesome.
It's also said as well that Brad Pitt was at the Daytona 24hrs early this year and had been confirmed that he was doing some filming with Wright Motorsport. With some action shots with changed sticked porsche 911 car and a lexus RCF. With some actual shots aswell from the race aswell.
Yes, his character actually raced in other disciplines after he left F1.
I’m hoping the Cole Trickle passing technique of downshift and floor it makes it in here somewhere.
Everyone knows the best Motorsport movie was by a true fan, Steve McQueen Le Mans
Actually the James Garner movie Grand Prix was best.
I saw on TikTok someone say ‘Max’s appearance was so random wth’. Bruh it’s F1 tf you expect
Looks like a reverse Hamilton vs Rosberg situation going on...
Since this is the Top Gun director why not go with Tom Cruise as Cole Trickle having one last shot at F1.
Shhh don't ruin the surprise
Post credits scene spoiled
Ya know, I thought “this looks like ‘Flashdance’ with race cars…” Makes sense Bruckheimer directed it. 🥸🥳🤣🏁💥
@@Good_Horsey 😂
Oh fuck yeah!
lets see if it can match up to the 1966 movie "Grand Prix". It was a blockbuster and extremely innovative AND realistic, with great story lines and human drama... as well as some great racing drivers and teams and racing scenes and footage... a true classic in the all time great films about motor racing. "F1", hopefully, will live up to the standard set back then. I watched "Grand Prix" as a kid in 1966 in the theater in "Cinerama" which was kind of the "IMAX" of the day, as a kid of 11 years old and have been hooked on the sport since. Still highly recommended today. I still get goose bumps seeing all of the driver greats of the era in the movie. "F1" does the same thing... very happy about that some 58 years later. looking forward to 2025! I hope some of the "Drive to Survive" generation takes the time to watch AND appreciate the classic film, as well as the sacrifices that have taken drivers lives to help make the sport as safe and great as it is today.
I dont understand why the F1 onboard cameras are only 720p? The tiny camera on the tiny 249 g DJI Mini 4 Pro drone shoots at 4k 60 frames per second so why F1 cant at the very least move up to 1080P I have no idea. Having said that I watch formula one on the Channel 4 hightlights and I recon that is only streamed at 720P, but thats a guess. Other wish list items, a little in camera stabilisation would make it better to watch and make the footage look more like it looks from the drivers perspective, not getting rid of all the shake, just the insane brain juddering vibration we currently have.
I feel a lot of people are unfairly hating on this movie. Its not a documentary, its a movie so obviously theres going to be inaccuracies. Enjoy it for what it is, and i can't wait to watch it.
Brilliant breakdown and explainer of the teaser, thanks guys 😊
This is going to be the same as in a WW1 film you see the Red Baron in ME-262.
It reminds me a lot of how the movie Grand Prix used a lot of real onboard F1 footage, recorded during practices ect.
Very similar idea.
That was a fantastic film. I remember watching some of those racers actually race when I was v young.
Don't forget it featured a team called Jordan BRM!
The movie LeMans starring Steve McQueen was also done with real onboard footage.
That was awesome but didn't they run during practice sessions?
Perfect movie for F1 fans to criticise and non F1 fans to be introduced too, perfect mix for an incredible movie
"Build a car for combat"
Brad pitt: *Proceeds to load the glock*
What the hell is that dialogue 😂 😂
That trailer is 100% cheese.
Hey that means it's good thing to watch and have fun with
What did you expect?
I too am excited for Driven 2: Brad Pittstop Boogaloo.
But where's Stallone?
Hahaha, forty years of movie history dropped in one sentence.
Hamiltons input showing through
I remember back in, I think it was 98, Stallone would show up to multiple races to do research for his movie which was at that time still going to be a Formula 1 movie. Then years later we got Driven lmao.
@506thLittleberry I was at the race in Budapest when Stallone was on the grid before the start. In the movie when he first turns up at a track he's wearing a Williams cap. Having seen Driven F1 dodged a bullet there.
The fact that this is an official F1 movie is so bizarre to me. Like, they're writing fanfiction about themselves.
Well it worked for Top Gun
Good point! Like if the NFL made a movie called NFL. Still, that car sound at the end is pretty delicious :)
Well put
Very moneyball delivery at the beginning there
Money ball was actually good though and didn't have wife beater Brad Pitt and fake American Lewis Hamilton making it.
No doubt it will be a well-shot movie with the cinematography and sound design, my concerns would mostly lie with the plot being way too outlandish and the acting not being up to snuff.
What I love about this movie so far is it feels as though they are really trying to create a modern version of the 1966 classic Grand Prix. I loved that movie and how they shoved actors right next to F1 drivers of the time. The on track camera angles and action was phenomenal, they even showed the scariness of death in that era. So I'm very excited to see how this movie turns out as I think it will become one of the greatest racing movies ever made, at least a top 5 candidate.
I will shit bricks if they have Joe Tanto and Jimmy Bly show up
Joe Tanto will have been long time retired at this point.
@@GR1MRACER Joe Tanto will be seen in the Alpine hospitality trying to borrow an engine for his doomed all-American F1-project.
Seen the trailer alone had made me wanting to watch the movie. Hearing that most of the shots are as close to real life as possible is just making me want to watch it even more. I just first thought that some of the scenes where either clever use of CGI, or cuts where we can see the other F1 cars and so on.
I know and heard that they are filming the racing with the actors as to use race cars. But I only thought that would be on Silverstone, and when it is only those two cars alone. I didnt thought they went to that lengths with it. I also know that Hamliton is with as a form of advisor (I forgot what it was called fully) and I had heard a rumor that some of the storyline for the movie is partily based on what Hamliton's experience when he came into F1 (Around his McLaren years with Alonso as his teammate I believe. So, yes *that* season) So I can only partily guess what the story would be
yet nobody is talking about the fact they were filming at the Rolex 24 at Daytona.
I bet Brad in a converted F2 car was still lapping faster than Sauber.
For years I've been telling people that Frankenheimer's "Grand Prix" is something that the would never be able to make again. I think I may be wrong now.....
so top gun mavericks but upside down and on the ground
"I was inverted."

@@thegaminggorilla8701 turn 4, seen in the video, is radillion. Eau Rouge is turn 2, just before that

I LOVE the use of the wider FOV onboard camera, it gives such a better sense of speed than the current narrow FOV
I so wish F1 would go back to that, it really does make the cars look so much faster and more dynamic in the faster parts of the track!
that WAS MY FAVORITE PART OF THE TEASER!!!!! Guenther!!!! I LOVE HIM!! He has such charisma AND I believe between him and Danial Riccardo....MADE Drive To Survive EVEN BETTER!!!!
Very diverse cast
Did Disney get its hands on it?
"Ford v. Ferrari" managed to be disarmingly charming, but it was still hard to ignore the Hollywood-ification of a motorsport story that really could've stood on its own two legs anyway. "Rush" was amazing, but that had Daniel Bruhl and Chris Hemsworth as the leads in a movie directed by Ron Howard.
This? The lone selling point for this movie, so far, is Brad Pitt. 'ts it. Frankly, this has a one in a billion chance of not sucking donkey balls.
It stinks of man with too much money makes movie about something he knows little about.
The trailer looks awful. The acting looks wooden. Definitely a miss for me.
To me it's also exciting because it's the director of Top Gun Maverick, it's a movie about a sport that I and millions of people around the world like to watch (F1 is literally the title of the film), and it shows amazing use of practical filmmaking.
I'm not sure how you come to the conclusion that Brad Pitt is the lone selling point.
@Dwerg THIS. I only care because of TG Maverick's director is on it 😅 couldn't give 2 shits about Brad or Franklin Saint (iykyk 😅). Cinematography and sound design will be this movie's major selling point NOT its actors
There's 3 lines of dialogue that are pretty cheesy and lots of practical footage made during irl F1 events. It's the latter one that mostly interest me, since broadcast onboards have terrible quality. I don't understand what you mean by "the lone selling point is Brad Pitt".
You should check out the Steve McQueen movie Le Mans. It has very limited dialogue and relies more on images.
Should mention the cinematographer Claudio Miranda, who also shot Top Gun Maverick. He has done a fantastic job.
The shot of the RB19 on rain is beautiful. Hopefully, there will be a couple of shots like that of the other teams.
is just me or the RB is using a hard tyre in the rain?
@@alx_santosit’s probably a point in the plot. Maybe Checo or Max had a poor strategy call and apex gp is fighting the redbull in the dying moments of the race to get a point or a podium or whatever.
That's pretty much what Top Gun Maverick did, basically no scene was filmed with the jets you see on screen, but with smaller planes, that were then cut out and overlayed with digital models of the jets you see at the end, but you still get the real movement and physics. This also provides a great template for the VFX artists to base lighting and things like that on, to make the digital models look even better. VFX and "CGI" isn't bad, but bad CGI is just standing out like a sore thumb and I love seeing it done right!
Not at all accurate. New camera pods were made and approved by the Navy to fly on the F-18 which were reused for the recent Blue Angels documentary. Among other things.
@@jamskatelakehe means the exterior shots, not the interior shots. The editor for the film demonstrates the whole thing in a video he released.
Watching that trailer I feel really strongly that I don't want to watch any more of it 😬
They should've used neck prosthetics for the shot next to the real drivers, the neck size difference is enormous! For real tho, props to them for going the extra mile to make this look as authentic as possible
I’m here for high-res car shots, sounds and track shots. Anything that can help me get a better sense of what F1 drivers have to do because it is such a feat and we don’t have a clue how much is really going on. Can’t wait to watch this!
Calling it now: Other than the cinematography this will SUCK.
If Max Verstappen does not become the champion, my IMDb score will be 1 because then the movie is unreaL
Need I remind you that Lewis is a productor...
If Max appears , he will like the Kurgan in highlander
one thing i love is the onboard shots. Theyve really done alot with tha camera to make it look fast, some of it might be cgi, but i think alot comes from the wider angle (dont know much about cameras, just assuming thats what it is). kinda wish f1 used this to make the onboards look faster and better represent the speed of the cars. Maybe not to the extent in this film but it would be a cool idea
See, the problem for me as someone who follows F1 is that, well, I follow F1.
I LOVE the level of immersion they've gone to in this movie from what I can see, and I love even more that F1 allowed them to do it (the occasional diss from certain other real F1 drivers forgiven, of course). I love the camera angles they're showing us, the intensity, the realness, and the the impression of speed. God knows one of the problems of real F1 broadcasts is that any impression of the speeds they're really running with are flattened by the cameras.
That said, I also know that the car is not an F1 car, and I can never un-see it. I hear "we need to build a car for combat" and it rankles. I hear "Who said anything about safe?" and I can only imagine a world where the fatalities of the 1960 Belgian GP, and Jackie Stewart's crash at the same circuit 6 years later, didn't prompt Jackie to engage in an epic and legendary safety campaign in F1.
This of course means a world where modern F1 would still be a horrific sport where drivers are morbidly celebrated and admired almost as superheros for putting their lives firmly on the line at every race, with few curbs and safety barriers, and trees around every corner. A world where those drivers that manage beyond all odds to survive each year in Formula 1 keep dreading the inevitable fan favourite race at the unmodified and deeply unsafe Nüburgring Nordschleife.
A world where no safety campaign ever ultimately led to the creation of the Halo, which thus never saved the life of Lewis Hamilton from the spinning wheel of Verstappen's RB16B in their epic WDC battle that year, and as such this movie was never created.
I will enjoy this movie, no doubt, for what it is, and I will enjoy it's depiction of the speed and competition of F1... but I cannot honestly say that I am going to be able to suspend my disbelief and accept it as being a meaningful representation of what F1 actually is, despite the many and numerous things about F1 it appears to go to great lengths to get absolutely right.
It makes me sad, a little. It tries so hard and achieves so much, but by giving in to the temptation of just those few Hollywood tropes, it lets itself down so badly: I mean, I'm sure it's still great... but why settle for great if you were aiming for perfect!
PS, if it doesn't have all the great F1 memes in it, I will be disappoint!
It's going to be difficult for real F1 fans to watch this, without being constantly shocked OUT of the storyline by the improbability of racing a F2 car against a F1 grid, and with a 60+ year old driver, to boot.
And don't forget the car that's set up for _combat_
@@ben_1 Yeah, wait to see the turbo boost like in Knight rider tv series.
hope the film is actually good
Well so far their only real selling point is F1s brand and a 60yo Brad Pitt.. I mean its just a teaser but cmon the whole point so far is "look its Brad Pitt so give us your money.." :D
Calling it now: Other than the cinematography this will SUCK.
@@ross-carlson It will suck for F1 fans that know racing. They're banking on attracting idiots.
Now we know why andretti wasn’t allowed to join, Apexgp was already the 11th team!
Just to pick up on your point of the camera being inside the car, I think the last time I went "Woah that's cool" was the 2021 Saudi GP where they had cameras mounted on the side of the halo / dorsal fin. I've not seen it since but it looked so fast!
I'm getting flop vibes 😂
The music makes it so much worse. It's such a bizarre choice of song as well
They play 'We Will Rock You' before every F1 race after the hosting country national anthem.
Tell me you are not an F1 fan without telling me you are not an F1 fan.
I've watched F1 for almost two years ( I realize that's not very long, but it's a fair amount) and I've never heard them play that song. I'm guessing the broadcast I'm watching skips it, because they skip the national anthem most of the time as well.
@@mvprime8what broadcast is that? I’ve never seen it
anyone else there at silverstone seeing the movie cars go round the circuit
As a both F1 fan & filmmaking, I think a lot of people (f1 fans) don't realize that a movie is just another way to draw other's attention that haven't got into f1. So considering the 'messed up' dialog at the beginning of the teaser, I think it would be beneficial for someone to easily understand the world of this motorsport . Then when the time they got into, they'll quickly "seek" for the realities.
I think that’s the problem, a lot of people don’t want new fans after what happened with DTS, for better or for worse
As much as I would like this to succeed Hollywood will muck it up, "Ford V Ferrari" had speedometers in the cars. Le Mans was probably the only decent racing movie made, very little useless dialogue, lots of head games, ie: the pitstop in the rain at night with the Ferrari team manager waiting to go onto rains after watching Porsche.
Did you forget Rush???
@@RoyMatzem yeah Rush was good!
Grand Prix with James Gardner was good
So @f1 claims they can’t add an 11th team because for one there is not room in the paddock. Doesn’t APX being there but this argument??
This was only filmed at SILVERSTONE where there is room….there is no room at the other 23 tracks….
"Who said anything about safe?"
"Well, the FIA for one, the various crash tests we will have to pass before we are allowed to race, the regular inspections of our car to ensure we haven't compromised on safety. Need I go on?"
Noticed also in the driver shots that they appear to be wearing the earlier pre-2021(?) helmets - the FIA spec was revised to make the eye opening a lot smaller if you refer to the actual driver shots
My guess is brad Pitt, the veteran dies in a accident and the young Lewis style driver becomes a multiple world champion who never forgets his mentor... Won't be going to see this in the theater.
Whoaaa watch spoilers here😂😂😂
Pitt: Dude , you just tell the end to all, not cool.
It’s very hard for drivers to die in modern F1 so I’m positive this won’t be the plot of the movie. Nice try though bud.
If it's an officially F1 sponsored production, that'd be a bold storyline 🤔
They don’t look like F1 cars at all. No amount of 🎵We will Rock You 🎶will change that…
Blame the Mercedes designers 😂 just watch the movie and enjoy the action. This isn’t a documentary or a movie made specifically for F1 fans. In fact most people who watch this probably won’t be F1 fans hense the “cringey” or “cheesy” dialogue at times. Just sit back and enjoy the fact we are getting a movie about F1. Isn’t that awesome?
@@futbol6505 Just consume product and then get excited for next product.
Will be a mixture of the good old Grand Prix movie (1966 directed by John Frankenheimer) and the F1 22 game Braking Point scenario (old driver vs young driver)
Two "Rome" alumni: Kerry Condon and Tobias Menzies
I get the feeling this is gonna be horrid to any full on f1 long time fan and a total cringe fest. Obviously the fashion fans and the ones DTS brought in will lap it up though.
100% agree, this will SUCK.
I'm not going into this movie expecting it to be great by any means besides the visuals, but even if it's not great it'll just be a turn the logic part of the brain off and enjoy something f1 related.
DTS started nearly a decade ago you whiner
@@jameshoffa7085 oh don't hurt my feelings like this, I'm not sure I'll recover from such an accurate and scathing attack on my character
You’re so pretentious lmao.
And how much were you paid, or are expecting from this hagiograhical tosh?
Thanks for this breakdown! Very interesting points and it’s so cool that we do get to see higher resolution footage and that it’s happening in real time. We are part of history, when we look back at it in the future. Definitely going to see it in theaters
Car or racing movies are almost universally diabolical to those of us that are passionate about cars, and I fear this one may be no different. But the camerawork looks awesome, and since Lewis is said to be making sure the racing looks correct, I hope it saves it somewhat.
I don't care, it's embarrassing. The fact it's just called F1 and so endorsed by liberty media as well is very telling. I want the sport back. Brad Pitt playing an F1 driver just based on the current boom of fans from social media, none of this has anything to do with formula one.
What are you even talking about? It’s a movie, nothing to be embarrassed about. You didn’t create or own F1 so there is literally no impact on you. How are you embarrassed? There is nothing wrong with making a movie.. it’s not trying to replace the sport so why are you so upset?
@@justinsmith4562 so if someone made a film called football and had two actors playing Messi and Ronaldo that wouldn't be cringey at all and would definitely represent the sport and not just the personality, social media side? Engage brain.
Yup, the yank-i-facation of F1 continues.
@@ronbelanger4113 I don't know why they need to do it, F1 is growing over there regardless because of the internet etc. but you're right, yank is wank 😂
@@ronbelanger4113F1 aint on ovals yet baby! Thats when you'll know the Yanks have completely taken over. Haha!
as big of a garbage as a F1 fan would expect
Thanks for covering this.
The production is very high quality, hope the script and writing is too
