Formula 1 sensation Carlos Sainz left squirming after a private screening of the upcoming F1 blockbuster movie. The Williams F1 star, along with other racing elites, gathered in Monaco for the exclusive driver premiere of the highly anticipated film, which features Hollywood heartthrob Brad Pitt and F1 legend Lewis Hamilton as one of its producers.
In a candid interview in Monaco, Sainz shared his initial thoughts on the movie, describing it as enjoyable but hinting at moments that made him cringe. Despite praising the overall production, the 30-year-old driver admitted that some scenes felt a bit too ‘Hollywood’ and unrealistic for hardcore F1 enthusiasts.
While Sainz refrained from giving away specific details to preserve the secrecy of the film, he did confess to feeling a few “icks” during certain parts of the screening. The Spanish racer also teased fans with a glimpse of his involvement in the movie, suggesting a humorous nightclub scene to watch out for upon the film’s public release on June 25, 2025.
Overall, Sainz expressed optimism that the movie would attract new fans to the sport, despite its occasional departure from reality. With the F1 film set to make waves in the industry, the excitement and anticipation among fans and drivers alike continue to build as the release date draws near.
