0:28.2

Hello and a very warm welcome to the late-breaking F-1 podcast, presented by Sam Sage and me, Ben Hocking.

0:32.2

It's the last Sunday before we're back to F-1.

0:33.8

Thank goodness.

0:36.0

Yeah, thank goodness for that.

0:37.1

We're finally going to get some action.

1:17.3

It's our last sleepy Sunday for a little bit of late-breaking F-1. A little lying for all of your F-1 fans. See this Sunday. And what's short 9.30. Well done. You're descending into Magnus. It's good. If we get F-1 back immediately. One race, so there's summer break, is it? Two races. We've got Belgium, but then Hungary. How can I forget the Hungara ring? Beautiful Nagy-Jad. Yes, how can you forget the beautiful water park where it's definitely starting to rage? Yeah, at one point, I think it would just be the sprinklers that are causing the slides to be wet. That's fair. That's fair. I mean, you've decided to fill the gap, fill the void in between F1 races by occupying your time with some other F1 stuff, specifically the F1 movie.

1:21.4

Yes, I thought, you know what?

1:22.7

1:27.2

And I kind of also did some research because on this, I went and watched the new Hill documentary on Sky. And I'll talk about both in a sec. Because you haven't seen it, Ben, right? Am I the right? I have not seen it. Right. Okay. So a bit controversial, I think, the F1 movie for F1 fangs of kind of do we go, how

1:44.8

unrealistic is it going to be, is it going to be silly, want to make a mockery of our sport?

1:49.8

The answer is, no, it doesn't, if you relax your mind of what you expect from an F1 film.

1:56.6

I think you have to go in there expecting Hollywood, cinema, it's drama, it's meant to be fun,

2:02.7

it's meant to be silly.

2:04.0

I've written down some thoughts here.

2:05.6

So there were some negatives.

2:08.1

And I think that they need to be made quite clear that a lot of these things were either

2:11.8

not good, not good for the sport or just not needed.

2:14.6

There's a romance section between the main character, Sandyani Hayes, who's played by Brad Pitt,

2:19.1

and his chief design officer.
