F1 - The Movies Have It Wrong! | Sports

With F1 on summer break, we’re heading to Hollywood to find out which racing stories actually capture what it feels like behind the wheel. We compare F1: The Movie, Rush, and Drive to Survive — from Brad Pitt’s blockbuster spectacle and Lewis Hamilton’s influence to the raw rivalry, respect and emotion of Niki Lauda and James Hunt.

Which gets Formula 1 closest to reality, which takes Hollywood liberties, and why can a technically imperfect racing movie sometimes feel more authentic than the real thing? We break down the racing, psychology, behind-the-scenes trivia and that extraordinary feeling when everything goes quiet in the car and driver and machine become one.

A summer-break special for fans of F1, Formula 1, sports, racing movies and motorsport.
