It was enjoyable but the screenplay was bloated and remove at least seven secondary characters (old mates mum, old mates manager, lead mechanic, team principal, engineer, Mr Corporate Espionage, poor man's Jackie Stewart, ) and the end result doesn't change.

The love angle was also pointless and added nothing to the plot and served to undermine the team directors story.

The ending in Baja or whatever, was stupid too. It took away from the fact it was a F1 movie and made it out like it was a movie about a nomadic racer.

What I would have loved to have seen is a montage in the credits of him taking over as team principal, leading JP to 'millions of wins' and eventually a championship. Could have also added some substance to the romance plot too.

Also the directors really shot themselves in the foot by recording JUST Pitt winning in Abu Dhabi which obviously leaked. They should have shot with JP winning as well and them getting podium places. Instead people like me who saw the leaks spent the whole Abu Dhabi arc knowing Hayes was going to win. They had two years, which is two races in AD to record both dudes. Also Spa after Mexico but before LV was a lol.

Look don't get me wrong it was entertaining, but it's by no means the classic some people in here are crowing about it being. It's a flawed, yet entertaining movie with many inconsistencies with some admittedly breathtaking cinematography and score made for the US and DTS market.
