Obviously not really aimed at existing fans, but this is disappointing in general:
On the character front, there are lots of stereotypes that might feel lazy to some, although other film critics see it as old-school entertainment. Among other points, it's a bit of a shame that the impressive female technical director Kate McKenna – played by Kerry Condon – becomes the love interest and only builds a good car once told by Pitt how to do her job better by giving him something for “combat”.

Given the number of different areas the film highlights – great racing, spectacular crashes, intra-team battles, political maneuvering, technical brilliance and controversies among them - it’s enough of a window into the sport for it to not seem totally detached from reality if a new fan does try and learn more about F1 moving forward.
You know, the movie actually sounds like it ended up the best it could have been given the circumstances (blockbuster sports movie starring Brad Pitt).
And the footage sounds like it's incredible, I'll definitely try to see it in IMAX.

I’d go in also just for the footage
