I came to that conclusion after paying money to see Brad pitt in F1 following 97% scores.

They took the exact plot of Stallone's Driven, to date the worst movie ever made about racing, or anything else.

Hollywood manages to successfully astroturf reviews most films for at lest a couple weeks after release.

And yet we won't get a How Did This Get Made episode about F1, making it completely worthless

I'm remembering that dime scene now. That movie was really fucking bad.

I like Driven. It is definitely a cheesy movie but it is actually more believable in some ways. No way any driver just steps into a modern F1 car and starts winning.

Uh...oh nevermind. Netflix ruined F1.

Driven was originally supposed to be an F1 movie, but when Bernie Ecclestone got wind of that stupid plot he kicked Stallone out of Europe.
