Team bosses about the F1 movie

      Monaco hosted the pre-premiere screening of the Hollywood film F1, in which drivers and team leaders starred in cameo roles. I liked the movie, many have already called it the best of all those devoted to racing. At the FIA press conference, the team bosses shared their impressions.…

      Toto Wolff, Mercedes: "From the very first minute, it feels like everything has been done very well. The racing scenes are flawless. Even we experts couldn't find fault. One of the racers said that the only mistake was when both heroes had DRS triggered at the same time. But this is the only exception.

      So even for us Formula 1 people, the races look great, and the plot is interesting and realistic. I think the film will be a great success, and not because I'm biased against Formula 1, it's just a great movie."

      Andy Cowell, Aston Martin: "This is a wonderful Hollywood film that combines the stars of modern Formula 1. The races are well shot, and the dynamics of what is happening on the track are stunningly conveyed. An interesting effect is when an imaginary team with actors, around which the narrative is going on, mixes with existing teams, and people from Formula 1 play themselves."

      James Voules, Williams: "I saw exactly what I expected. Of course, this is not a documentary, but it was not intended as a documentary. It's a Hollywood take on Formula 1, but they did it perfectly.

      The concept of the film is good because no matter what level you are at – whether you have watched Formula 1 before or not – you instantly get involved in the plot and begin to empathize with what is happening. From this point of view, they have done a brilliant job. The opening scene is great, the film immediately captures and never lets go."
