#asks: f1 movie

[formulawolff]

In comparison to other f1/motorsports related movies I can’t get exited for this movie whit Brad, idk it gives me messy vibes

CAUSE IT IS!!!

i know the movie is about a fictional team and the teaser is not supposed to give us much information, but what the actual fuck is the movie about?

are they like just randomly starting a team out of nowhere? doesn't it take years for this shit to happen? is this another american team or is it british or european? where are there engines coming from?

i'm so confused.

also.. i know i'm not supposed to judge the age of the drivers but brad pitt being the lead just seems... so weird? the man is sixty years old!!!

they could have casted anyone else as the main driver. literally aaron taylor-johnson, austin butler, any OTHER a-list actor. fuck i would have taken jacob elordi over that man (although he's probably too tall LMFAO)

Is Carlos Sainz's secret child canon in the f1 movie verse

[salutethesargeant]

Nah I'm sorry but the pregnancy announcement after George confirmed that Max said that he would smash his head against a wall. No one is gonna say anything bad about a father to be. That was such a perfect PR move.

And it's marketable. Baby merch immediately popped up on his site after. I've physically seen people excuse his threat towards George (which under no circumstances would ever be normal?? even if anyone else said it) to get all cheerful (called it 'alright' because he's 'morally grey' ?? that's a real human being, not a fictional character) about the baby and also using it to defend Kelly too. (I'm not going in that rabbit hole more, but she doesn't deserve defense or a fanbase)

Does everyone fall for pr that easily? Apparently so. Average F1 fan sucks up to the worst type of (European) man so easily and falls deep for their curated, predatory parasocial relationships. Media training, media acting (DTS), fandom-curated content, and rpf have you all acting like everything is a movie. Like everything is fine and sunshine.

Holy shit I need a breather.

the worst thing I think atleast for me is the more people talk abt the movie even in a pirating sense or making fun angle the more they bring the attention to it. I bet you there were so many people who weren't really aware of it but found out just through people talking abt it.

Honestly we should all ignore the thing and pretend like it doesn't exist and if you have to speak about the thing then just bring attention as to why the movie shouldn't be supported any way whatsoever because I personally know alot of people who still aren't really aware of the amount of damage that man has done and bringing more awareness is never a bad thing.

I do think it will give it more publicity but beyond that what annoys me is how f1blr compartementalizes things.

When the Horner allegations came out, and I'm insisting on the fact that they were allegations although I do believe he is guilty on a personal level but my personal opinion is irrelevant, some chunks of f1blr acted like the entire team was responsible for Horner's actions because some chunks of f1blr like to act like Redbull Racing is fucking slytherin. Horrible reference to Harry Potter intended because it has about the same level of depth.

What I'm saying is, if you like to pretend some people in F1 are inherently Good and/or some of them are inherently Evil, and you like to, as we refer to coloquially, moral wank over how your blorbo is A Better Human Being for unknown parasocial reasons and/or a different driver is A Bad Human Being for similar unknown parasocial reasons,

but you're capable of setting all of that aside to watch that movie which is let me say it again both Brad Pitt propaganda and Brad Pitt's wet dream even though he is a well known trialled abuser, either because you want to or want to "make fun of it" : you're a hypocrite.

If you're fine being a hypocrite then great, don't mind me.

If you're not fine with being a hypocrite you need to either stop assigning morality to F1 (easy solution) or be coherent (hard solution).

[skitskatdacat63]

God, I have such a hatred for that stupid f1 movie, everything about it gets on my nerves so badly. I hate to be this ultra salty person but I feel like I could write a whole essay about how dumb it is and how much it annoys me 😭

[endofbeginings]

this is sooooooooo important to me

[pinkcarsupremacy]

lmao sophie i just KNOW people are gonna use that clip in the future as evidence of esteban’s “reckless driving” and be dead serious about it even though it’s literally fictional

Ejahfjfkr pissing myself imagining this... montage of Force India crashes followed by Ocon smashing Brad Pitt off the track 😭 I support Ocon's wrongs I'll happily pretend that's from a real race. Bro said idc if it's a movie I'm not letting someone beat me. Sidenote I'm actually so curious about the impression non-F1 fans are gonna be left with of the real life F1 drivers in the movie lmao

Carlando 26 ❤️🧡

Hmm . . . okay. This is an interesting one! This song is from the soundtrack for "The Creator" (great sci-fi movie, highly recommend it) and I have, admittedly, lightly toyed with the idea of an AU based on it. I've never done anything with it because I've never been able to decide which people should fill which roles and what kind of story arc I want for everyone, but every now and then I think about it again. I'll consider this a little trial run of sorts. :)

All referenced lore comes from the movie. The only term I throw around that might not make sense without context is "simulant," which is a term in the movie for an AI individual who has a human appearance and human emotions. This scene also directly mirrors a scene from the movie.

26. A Place In The Sky by Hans Zimmer

Carlos never thought he'd be here, stuck in the middle of pro-AI territory all on his own and with probably half the military after him. He also never thought he'd willingly share company with another AI, not after the last time he was here. He had worked for the anti-AI movement his whole life. He thought he'd left this godforsaken place behind a long time ago.

But he'd just had to let himself get talked into this mission, hadn't he?

And now here he was, stuck with some simulant that for some reason was the most important bot in the whole world, tasked with getting them out of the country so that his bosses or his bosses' bosses could pick it apart and learn what kind of advantage it was supposed to have.

This bot was some sort of kid . . . somehow. It was a simulant but a kid. That wasn't supposed to be possible. And what was a kid supposed to do to turn the tide of the war? Drive the enemy crazy with incessant questions? It was already doing that to him.

Well. Okay. Maybe it was more innocent than incessant.

But he wasn't going to admit that out loud.

"If people aren't made like robots are," the child - man, he really should give it a name already - asked softly, "then how are they made?"

Carlos didn't look at the kid, watching the trees pass by outside the bus instead. But he did answer. "They're made by two people who are in love."

The kid absorbed that before asking another question. "What's it like to be in love?"

"It's like . . ." Carlos started, trying to find words that a nonhuman kid could understand. "It's finding happiness in someone else. Like finding a missing piece of yourself."

The kid looked at him innocently. "Do you love someone?"

Carlos paused, shifting his jaw. He didn't know why he was entertaining this topic. But . . . "Yes. I do. I did."

Lando. The one he'd been tasked to follow and study, all those years ago. His target. A person of interest. Connected to a key pro-AI figure. Supposed to be the enemy.

The only man he'd ever loved.

It was unprecedented for them - an AI supporter, and an AI fighter - to fall in love. But they did. They'd found the keys to each other's hearts. They'd made a life for themselves. They were going to have a family.

But then it had all been ripped away.

Their home. Their unborn child. Lando himself.

All because of a goddamn botched raid.

He would never forgive himself for lying to Lando about who he really was. Seeing the betrayal in his eyes as he caught Carlos trying in vain to call off the raid, finding out he hadn't truly abandoned the side of anti-AI. It had made Carlos want to go back in time and slap himself, scream at himself for hiding it from Lando, for not just giving up everything for him. Because before he'd lost everything anyway, he was afraid he'd lost Lando's love, too.

He would never forgive himself for that.

"Off," he finally choked out, using a term that the kid could understand. "He's . . . off."

The child absorbed this solemnly. "Where do people go when they're off?"

Carlos tried not to get choked up as he watched the scenery pass by. "Heaven," he said. "It's a peaceful place in the sky."

"Are you going to heaven, too?" the child asked.

A tear finally rolled out of his eye. "No," he whispered. "You . . . you have to be a good person to get into heaven."

The child was silent for a long time. Then they finally spoke again. "Then . . . we're the same."

Carlos finally turned to look at them in confusion, meeting the eyes that had reminded him uncannily of Lando from the very start. It was part of the reason why he didn't look at the kid any more than he had to.

The kid looked at him serenely, yet sadly. "Neither of us can go to heaven," they explained simply. They looked down at their hands. "Because you're not good. And . . . I'm not a person."

Something about the way the child said it . . . the emotion in their voice . . . it stirred something in Carlos.

Maybe the kid wasn't so inhuman after all.

Gently, he lifted his arm so that the kid could lean against his side, snuggling closer and getting comfy for the long ride they still had ahead. As they finally lapsed into silence, Carlos returned his gaze to the window, thinking about bright laughs and whispered words of fondness in a home he had once shared with the person he loved.

He didn't dare hope that they might be reunited one day. But maybe . . . maybe, he could still make Lando proud somehow.

im not saying that the f1 movie (which is literally rpf for the big screen) should star rocky and roo instead... but it should star rocky and roo instead

STOP IVE LITERALLY BEEN THINKIN ABT THIS ALL DAY 💀💀

roo has the biggest beef with br4d p1tt u heard it here first

i was even thinking of making it a chapter for rvstw bye

[formulawolff]

girlll! Agreed on your repost about Brad Pitt and his F1 movie!

It’s also crazy to be that there’re just casually filming during race weekends in the middle of all the drivers trying to do their jobs! Like the footage of Lando on the verge of tears in the media pen and they are just strutting around filming right next to him. Fernando was 100% giving judgy looks in the back

no cause wtf kind of wattpad name is sonny hayes?

it sounds like some sort of weird brad pitt fanfic coming to life (i cannot judge that aspect because if someone wanted to produce my fic i would say yes in a heartbeat LMFAO)

and i know they're trying to keep things "real" by filming during race weekends but it does seem like a sort of distraction. i know the drivers are used to the fans in the paddock but i'm sure the fan presence has sort of increased because of the addition of the fictional team.

also, rare lewis L for working with brad pitt :/

[mistressemmedi]

Is brocedes canon in the F1verse?

https://x.com/expensifyapxgp/status/1813596624964497443

oh no no no no no I refuse to even acknowledge that

im so sick of all of this expensify stuff already, give me a break

[vro0m]

For everyone yelling at fans for considering buying a ticket to the movie, maybe spare a thought for the fact that Lewis is the exec producer. I love him but he’s doing far more to enable this trash than some fans on Tumblr

What should I do about that, give him a phonecall? Meanwhile you're here and reading me.

I'm also not yelling. You wanna go watch the movie go watch the movie, I'm not stopping you. But let's not be hypocritical about it then.

[blueberry-obsessed]

yeah the team is called APX GP like wtf is that???

who the fuck would call a team "apex gp" using two F1 firms at the same time?? it's like calling a team idk a yellow flag or engine penalty or fucking SAUSAGE CURB. i mean it could be so confusing in reality when trying to say "i was ahead of the apex on the apex"

it's just cringe. im already a hater.

$300 million dollars and they still couldn't hire someone to come up with a good name. This is worse than cringe, it's downright awful. Also, at least spell it as apex, APX-GP looks like the name of a virus or something. "Yeah, guys, sorry I can't hang out tonight. I tested positive for APX"

[sionisjaune]

see I’m convinced it’s going to be an ambiguously evil belgian antagonist with an overbearing father like idk if lewis can make nico the villain when they can barely talk to each other without losing it irl 😭😭

EXT. GREECE SPAIN - SUNSET Young Lewis Joshua gazes across the water. Nico Blonde Antagonist sits beside him, feet buried in the sand. The remains of dinner are spread on a beach towel in front of them. Nico's Blonde Antagonist's father's yacht bobs in the distance. JOSHUA Do you think we're going to make it? Really. Be honest. Nico Blonde Antagonist grins and flicks a cherry pit at Lewis Joshua. Joshua ducks and grins sheepishly. BLONDE ANTAGONIST (arrogantly) I know we are. One day we're going to race against each other in the best team in Formula One.

Joshua's gap-toothed grin widens, as if a heavy weight has come off his shoulders.

I lied put your clothes back on I'm going to explain in detail how true crime and video games desensitises people to real crimes and causes crimes to be decriminalised
