But what do actual F1 drivers think of the final product? Ahead of the movie's premiere, Men’s Health attended the Canadian Grand Prix and spoke with Alpine drivers Pierre Gasly and Franco Colapinto about their experiences watching the film and how it differs from their day-to-day lives.

As Formula 1 continues to have discussions about the future of its U.S. media rights, the racing property is hoping the strong opening for a new feature film starring Brad Pitt may be just the thing to help push those talks over the finish line.

Javier Bardem, who plays Ruben Cervantes, points out Idris and Pitt likely felt more pressure filming during the live races in front of hundreds of thousands of people. But he says the crew’s “work” wasn’t lost on him.
