[@AverageArtz]

Aston has very decent speed on straights, what they lack is medium/high speed corners. So maybe stop stealing comments from other clueless commenters.

Aston is second fastest on the straights this year. Even with the highest downforce at Silverstone, they were second fastest

[@dangertomarketing]

Interesting thing - they have four cars, not two - I didn't know that, before seeing two cars in close contention followed by two heavily rigged cars - presumably the latter vehicles were driven by Pitt and Elba themselves, and the first two cars were pro drivers. Movie promotion for AAA production goes like this: 1) Teaser - 90 sec 2) 2nd Teaser - 30-45sec 3) Trailer - up to 240 sec 4) Trailer 2 - mashup of first 3. 5) Movie launch.

[@Beanman145]

Hey Kym, love the new video! You got one thing wrong on 1:35, The track is Monza, not Imola.

[@TyCi46]

Kym you have to clean your monitor 😂 Personally I loved the trailer. Looks awesome and with them using actual race footage is great. Only thing that was not great was the line “who said anything about safety” that’s the Hollywood side of things I don’t like especially as safety is so important these days. Either way I’m so hyped for this

[@Lora_Beolab]

what they mean is a car that's faster but more difficult to drive and more prone to crashing on the edge, people took the "safe" word way to far🤦‍♂

[@ross-carlson]

"build our car for combat" and you think it looks good? No driver has EVER said that in the history of racing. EVER. It will be AWFUL.

[@karman79]

Alonso must have a role in the movie as Brad Pitt's mate / rival from old days.

[@mamavswild]

Seriously though, this is a great idea and if they want to plug Brad Pitt into the F1 ‘cannon’, then this is really the only way to do it because realistically, they would’ve had to have been rivals or at least knew each other well.

[@srthebox4946]

Apparently Pitt’s character was a veteran driver from the 90s era of f1 who left due to injury iirc and got roped back to help the apx gp, he probably wasnt there for Alonso’s era

One things for sure. Non F1 fans will enjoy the movie far more than avid f1 fans

[@TerryKnight-hw3pg]

For sure .

[@notaspeck6104]

F1 fans take things too seriously tbh, and they love gatekeeping. If you like f1 you should be at least interested in the fact that money is pouring into the sport as interest increases.

[@sandalphoncpu]

@@notaspeck6104 are you an investor? Cause I’m pretty sure the only ones who cares a smidget about money pouring into the sport are the investors. Not F1 fans whose primary concern are racing and its raw sporting spectacles. Plus I’m merely explaining the fact the film is bound to show some fictional causes that clashes with avid fans’ sporting knowledge as opposed to non F1 fans who knows nothing about the sport and could actually not be bothered by such small details. That’s the byproduct of 99% of sports films.

[@tanosdiveinotoive123]

For one this movie is produced by Apple TV so it isn't making any money and it's not an awards-contender type of movie and F1 or even avid racing fans as such will be frustrated by the movie. So it seems like a loose-loose sort of situation. If they had made a biographical type of movie like Rush or Ford vs Ferrari it would do much better.

[@AccipiterF1]

I enjoy the visuals, but man, that dialogue ... 😅

[@paullavallee1631]

I just hope its a good as Grand Prix and a lot better than Driven

[@sloppynyuszi]

Controversial, but the Grand Prix story was super painful to watch. The car cinematography is second to none, but this is best to watch like one of those adult romance movies where you fast forward through the talking bits.

[@TyCi46]

Rush was also really good. Driven was complete crap

[@sloppynyuszi]

@@TyCi46 Rush was great, probably the best one so far. Driven is so bad it’s good.

[@JLvatron]

Unfortunately, the premise is just like Driven.

[@sloppynyuszi]

@@JLvatron it’s actually similar to Grand Prix. Old man no one believes in comes back for his last chance in a back marker team. Lots of real footage of real races. Using f2 cars to pretend they are f1 cars for some bits. This is fully inspired by that movie. This is not going to be anywhere near as good as Rush as far as story is concerned, but it will have more authentic racing bits. As good as rush was they had to fake it a lot considering the setting.

[@milo4ever]

I am willing to bet that there will be a second trailer released during the NFL's Superbowl , that event is almost always the highest rated tv program of the year ( well over 100 million people in the USA alone) . There is always a bunch of movies that will premiere trailers during it

[@jordandahl1032]

Good breakdown of the clip. RUSH is my favourite race film. I have great expectations for this one.

[@fuller9x]

Brad starts to hum and toss coins onto the track. Then uses the joker jump to block the leader for Damson after racing the cars on the street. I'll be breaking out Grand Prix and hoping the DVD can still play.

[@currinsnipes9879]

It will be interesting to compare "F1" to John Frankenheimer's 1966 movie "Grand Prix" - which was revolutionary.

[@BrandoTalksRacingS]

🤔 One very disconcerting thing "F1" movie! 🤨 I found myself super unimpressed with the opening Brad Pitt lines "we some to get em in the turns... need a fighter… who said anything about safe…" Lines so far from the reality of F1 your just a likely to hear "I'm going to twist off your head and s@&t down your throat" in a Disney remake of Bambi.

[@zounds13]

Yeah, I saw that dumb cliched crap and I went "oh no, it's going to be one of THOSE."

[@MattO109]

[@Taylor___]

It looked a bit cringe to me and when the Queen song started, I was like... "oh Goddd". It will be compared to Rush but I don't think it'll be a patch on this movie.

[@steveb6718]

Stallone's indycar movie sucked Cruise's nascar movie sucked This is going to suck ..... woke nonsense.

[@michaelbdoherty]

Using we will rock you is a bit of a Knights Tale rip off. I'm sure it will be a predictable storyline. The old guy returns for one last shot, dies in the end, and passes the torch along to the young guy. Pitt is Sena. The young guy is Lulu. Like we didn't see that coming.

[@AndrewTSq]

The queen song made it "Hey, lets make this movie for normal people who never watched F1", and this movie will fail for both for normal people who do not watch F1, and real F1 fans will not like it either since it will be more of a drama than action.

[@Taylor___]

@@AndrewTSq It’s going to be so cringe.

Spoiler alert! Brad character will be a has been champion, brought back to aid a promising driver but had a change of heart and wants to be the champion. His No.1 Mechanic was also brought along, and fell in love with her at the end. In conclusion, his teammate becomes the champion and he eventually retires with his new girl

[@willxiv]

Not a bad prediction at all. Well done.

You forgot about the scene when he complains about the Halo because back in his day they raced like men. Then he'll have a big crash and the Halo will save his life.

[@glen8461]

Great dissection of the tailer . Likely to be a tonne of CGI in the movie I'd imagine, as per Ford vs Ferrari, as you'd expect . Hopefully CGI is getting better and better and they can take a few years off Brad Pitt make him 40 instead of 60.

[@f.stopperrmedia1606]

I don't know why but the phrase "We need to build our car for combat" and the successive "How are we supposed to make that safe?" PISSES ME OFF TO NO END. This isn't Mad Max Fury Road and the modern F1 cars are some of the safest machines ever made for this sport.

not really F1 related :D but new cars in EU from 2024 must have a active speed warning built in, and some systems actually have the throttlepedal being forced up, to lower the speed. But you can override this by pressing the pedal harder lol.

They released the trailer this weekend because July 6th was Sylvester Stallone's birthday. His name is very similar to "Silverstone." Stallone starred in 2001's Driven, which was another movie about open-wheel race cars. You may not believe me, but that's ok, most of you probably don't even realize how F1XED all of pro sports are.

I'm gonna have a go at a bit of the plot and say.......Brad Pitt's character lost his wife in some sort of accident that he feels responsible for and in her dying words she says " You can do it baby, you can be an F1 champion at 60". So Brad's character absolutely insists on wearing his wedding ring whilst driving so he can have his deceased wife onboard and bring him luck. They are a true team. And further he has some sort of run-in with authorities over wearing the ring with the words " Blimey mate you ain't gonna take the ring, never"
