I have complicated feelings about the F1 movie

- the racing scenes were fantastic
- i loved that they included tire strategy and related strategic elements in the plot itself
- even though there are historical examples of most of the crazy racing stuff, the idea that you could just continuously abuse the rules to win was silly and cheapened the fidelity they worked so hard at on the rest of the racing
- aside from that, the plot was quite well-crafted; the idea that the main challenge was intra-team fit nicely with f1 dynamics generally
- the screenplay was hacky af. some of those lines were so hokey and would have been lame even in a campy 80s movie.
- that was especially incongruent with the level of detail they put into the racing and plot

overall, I was highly entertained but came away pretty dissappointed with the movie as a whole. it did all the hard stuff well and the relatively easier stuff horribly.

Thanks for the review. Guessing Rush was better?
