Plot: When an F1 team is struggling to get any points, they are willing to try one last thing. They get a new rider in Sonny Hayes. He retired years ago after a nasty crash, but he's willing to give it one more go. What he lacks in strength and technical support, he makes up for with his cunning tricks.

Can you buy success? Looking at this film, I would say: yes, you can. It feels like some relic of the 90s. A 60+ year old man joins the F1 circus and becomes a hero. His love interest is about half his age, the story is as ridiculous as it is predictable, and the whole thing is funded by Apple and the F1 circus itself.
Pitt is a terrible cast, I don't understand why a simple movie like this needed to last more than 2.5 hours, and knowing how everything will turn out kills the little tension present. If you're a fan of F1, the race scenes are spectacular, but other than that, this film has nothing to offer but poor taste and bad decisions.
