And Franco's post to enjoy his highlights:
šļø Release date
The film will premiere on 25 June in several countries around the world, while in Argentina, it will hit cinemas on Thursday 26 June.
Another great way to celebrate 75 years of Formula 1, at a time when more and more people are falling in love with the sport ā real fans like all of us in the #FranClub43.
š The drivers have already seen it
A few weeks ago, the current F1 drivers had exclusive access to a private screening.
They all agreed the film is super entertaining, and fans are going to enjoy it a lot.
šø Here's the official photo from that screening:
š„ Whatās up with this F1 movie?
This isnāt the first movie inspired by the sport, but it is the first official Formula 1 production.
Itās also produced by Lewis Hamilton, which makes it especially relevant to what weāre watching every race weekend.
Over the past few years, scenes have been shot at real circuits like Silverstone (UK), Las Vegas (USA), AutĆ³dromo Hermanos RodrĆguez (Mexico), Spa-Francorchamps (Belgium), Monza (Italy), Suzuka (Japan), Zandvoort (Netherlands), and Hungaroring (Hungary).
The cast integrated into the real paddock and filmed scenes during official race weekends.
Even if we didnāt catch the cameras live, many of those shots were filmed right in front of packed grandstands.
š Race scenes: pure speed and adrenaline
Most viewers agree: the on-track scenes are the filmās biggest highlight.
The visuals are top-quality, using special cameras (some similar to iPhones) mounted on real cars.
It all captures the speed, thrill and intensity we feel every race weekend.
š What about the storyline? How realistic is it?
Opinions are mixed.
The film is aimed more at the general public than at die-hard F1 experts.
It's not about debating tyre strategy or pit stop timing ā it's about feeling the rush from the driverās perspective, like you're Franco racing in the championship.
There are overtakes and moves that would result in penalties in real life, but in the film they add drama and excitement.
Many viewers say that even if you're not a motorsport fan, youāll walk out of the cinema hooked.
āI thought Iād be bored because I donāt like F1, but itās actually really fun,ā was one of the comments overheard after the premiere.
š£ļø What did Franco say after watching the film?
Franco shared his thoughts at the New York premiere: āThis film and what weāre experiencing today are a great opportunity for the sport, which keeps growing every year.ā
He was also very impressed by the stars representing them on screen, like Brad Pitt, and said with admiration: āThey really brought the reality of racing (in F1) to the big screen.ā
šļø Does Franco appear in the movie?
We donāt know yet! We havenāt seen it either ā so when you're watching, keep your eyes peeledā¦ maybe you'll spot him in a scene š§.
šæ A movie to experience on the big screen
It will be shown in IMAX theatres, with immersive sound and onboard camera shots that make you feel like youāre behind the wheel yourself.
A one-of-a-kind experience that brings the Formula 1 world to life like never before.
š The premiere is just around the corner! Are you going to see it?
Franco gave it his full recommendation, saying:
āThe film is incredible ā Iām sure youāre going to love it.ā
So we feel like thatās a pretty clear invitation to head to the cinema, right?
