    I listen to a tech podcast hosted by two people who also happen to be F1 enthusiasts, and race talk/driver drama bleeds into the show more times than I care for.

    So of course they discussed F1 the movie during one of the episodes and their personal opinion is that, apart from a real F1 announcer not giving nearly that much exposition to the home viewers, it was very authentic.

    Maybe the movie made a mistake that you personally can’t forgive, but other people who care very deeply for F1 said it was very accurate to actual F1 racing so I defer to their wisdom.

      Basically the whole shenanigans around cheating at every single turn to get a car in the points. Every single member of the team would get a disqualification/ban faster than you could spell “crashgate”. I think they could have written an entertaining story without breaking every single racing rule in the book several times per race.
