#I hope to god the title isn’t actually ‘f1’ and that was just a pr stunt

[f1-stuff]

you know the film industry and you know f1 so i feel like you're qualified to speak on this- do you have any opinions on that new f1 movie with brad pitt? what are your expectations?

Hello Bea, my beloved!! How are you? 🥹

I can’t speak to the filmmaking aspect really, since I wasn’t involved in the making, but I was cringing at the line in the trailer when he says, ‘who said anything about safety?’ 🥴 Like, I know that f1 is sexy and dangerous or whatever, but there is a heavy focus on safety nowadays, so that was…a turn-off. But I think the trailer was more showing off the driving shots than the story, which, granted, the driving looked pretty good to me. I hope those sequences really show the speed of these cars and how exciting the races can be.

But in general, I have a feeling I’m going to be trying not to laugh at a lot of the dialogue/situations, and scoffing at the unrealistically dramatic parts 😭 Movies aren’t realistic a lot of the time, but it’s gonna be hard when we are fans of the sport to ignore those inaccuracies. (Also Brad Pitt and Damson Idris smoldering around when in reality these drivers are the biggest goofball weirdos in the world 😂)
