You all are forgetting that this movie is not for the ones that are already fans of F1 or motorsport in general. It is for the new fans, the ones who came with the netflix show and the expansion in USA mostly following the 2021 season finale. It will never capture the essence of F1 or why it made the current fans fall in love with it. It is just a new presentation for newer fans or casual cinema goers who have no idea how things work in F1.

What is this based on?

How are we 'forgetting' something that was never established as being true in the first place? I'd personally assume that their intended audience is ideally gonna be a mix of non, newer and older fans. Plenty of movies with established IP and fanbases are able to create something that doesn't strictly cater to any individual group.

This sort of movie usually has clips where they are going as fast as they possibly can, but the baddie appears in the mirror and suddenly they can push the peddle down another 6 inches
( change cam to footwell, and- stomp, big roar, tyre squeal and extra 20mph )
And of course, the worst trope of all.....there is ALWAYS another gear!!

My two cents are this is going to be fiasco.
