"F1" is a fun movie. It is bombastic, exciting and incredibly well recorded when it comes to highly technical races. If you are a Formula One fan, or on the motorsport at all, you will probably find something you will want in the movie, which is essentially two and a half -hour LOVEUB letter to the ghost of the races.

It is also extremely amazing in many ways.

Yes it is the load of most Sports movies - Drawing an incredible fiction from a drama world that is far more interesting when it is real. You will always have to oppose to some extent with "Rocky could never go to toe to toe with Apollo" Types of soft plot holes that we all agree to look at the past in the interest of having fun. F1 is full of those moments, from advanced age and pure maniacal style of Sony Chase's driving on Brad Pitt to the incessant cascade of Hanjans that allows Lassie F1 team to gain positions over Red Bull, Mercedes and Ferrari.

Again, we see besides all that. It's an exciting ride and that's all it should be. But there is a special job for F1 that I can't completely look past - a failure that, as a fan of sports, feels particularly frivolous. I'm talking about qualifications, a key part of every weekend in the F1 race that has never been shown here and mentioned only one time throughout the movie. Here's why it's a big problem.

Everyone Formula 1 race It starts with practices for each team on the track, followed by qualifications, and then the right race. Qualifications are implemented in three phases, with the slowest times in anyone who is eliminated and transmitted to the lower starting positions of the rack, until the last stage determines the order of top runners and which driver gets a "pole position" - the first place on the rack. It is a huge important piece of the race because passing in F1 is incredibly difficult, so your starting position, in many cases, will largely determine where you are able to finish.

In the film, Sony Chase's first race for APXGP in Silverstone is treated as his big return to the commentators. He even drags Gambit where he pretends he doesn't know how to start the car at the beginning to warm his tires as he catches. All this is happening without recognition of the fact that he would already do all day round the day before. Unfortunately, it makes no sense.

Releasing the qualifications in the film also creates some logical themes related to the actual APXGP car. Soney insists on redesigning "for the fight", as they will never be able to compete with the bigger teams than the clean speed of the races. The problem, of course, is that the "combat" car would not help you at all, where runners only compete with the clock. Any adjustments made to the car after its requirements are likely to make it worse For qualifications, to a great extent unscrew any benefit in real races.

At one time F1 actually recognizes qualifications during the culmination race in Abu Dhabi, where a red flag from the last second gives APXGP the opportunity to get fresh tires on their cars that other teams do not have because they have used them in the previous day. It is a clever little narrative fraud to help the midfield's justification to get an original shot in Lewis Hamilton, but the selective involvement of qualifications only makes its absence in the rest of the film more incandescent.

Everything he said, is that a big deal? No, of course no. This is Hollywood, and this is just a Film for fun races. There are tons of amazing documentaries and biopia for motorsport history there if you want real accuracy. Or, you know, you can watch the right races! "F1" is intended to be a fun Roma showing a Loveube to the sport, but also carries a wider audience, hitting all the same narrative blows as "Rocky Balboa" or "Natural". And in that quest, it is greatly successful, even if much of the real plot makes no sense.
