Episode Synopsis

Can a high-octane racing film like F1 ignite excitement without breaking new ground? This sports drama follows Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt), a veteran driver, as he returns to the high-stakes world of Formula 1. Heart-pounding race sequences, captured with innovative cameras at real Grand Prix events, channel the intensity of classics like Ford v Ferrari and Rush, merging raw emotion with cutting-edge tech for electrifying thrills. The dynamic ensemble, including Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), a brash rookie, and Kate (Kerry Condon), a sharp-witted technical director, lifts the tale of mentorship and redemption above familiar tropes.F1 balances adrenaline-fuelled action with well-worn storytelling, spotlighting the sport’s strategic complexity while honouring F1 legends like Lewis Hamilton, who serves as producer. As a bold, original blockbuster, F1 delivers a gripping, gear-shifting spectacle - but does it cross the finish line as a game-changer for cinematic storytelling?Rogue Reviews is produced by Urban Podcasts.Recorded on the 25 July 2025 © Rogue Reviews.
