F1: The Movie is better than it has any right to be. What makes it work is the racing footage. Director Joseph Kosinski embedded cameras in actual F1 cars at actual races for two seasons. The cockpit footage is extraordinary.

Meanwhile, Oscar Piastri continues to lead the standings with the kind of calm efficiency that makes great cinema look exciting by comparison. He's not dramatic. He doesn't crash. He just drives very fast, very consistently, and scores points every weekend. Hollywood would never cast him as the hero. Real life has.
