Starring Brad Pitt, Kerry Condon and Javier Bardem, Joseph Kosinski’s F1 dazzles visually but is riddled with corny sporting movie tropes

3/5 stars

Watching F1: The Movie is like being hurled back into 1980s Hollywood, for better and for worse.

But instead of Cruise, this new film stars Brad Pitt.

Pitt plays Sonny Hayes, a former F1 driver who disappeared from the circuit following a crash at the 1993 Spanish Grand Prix. In the years since, he has scraped by as a New York cabby, developed a gambling habit and had numerous failed marriages.
