‘F1’ Review: Brad Pitt Swaggers Through a Formula One Drama That’s All Surface Excitement

Variety posted an update
The movie is working so hard to be “immersive” that instead of explaining the world of racing to us (how long between pit stops, how the season works), it simply assumes we know the fine points. Kosinski, who filmed actual F1 contests, scores on atmosphere but stages the races in a way that’s fragmentary and at times confusing, without giving us a sharp enough sense of how each driver is trying to maneuver.
