In this special episode, we’re joined by Richard, friend of the podcast and now fully fledged F1 fan thanks to Lights Out, to dive into the brand new F1 movie.

Did it impress him more than it did us long-time fans? We unpack our first impressions, the realism of the racing scenes, and whether the film captures the essence of Formula 1. From the story and characters to the star-studded cameos and dramatic finish, we debate whether the film was made for fans like us – or for someone just discovering the sport.

Sam also throws in a twist with the F1 Movie Mystery Game – a surprisingly tricky round of guessing whether other films are rated higher or lower than the F1 movie on IMDb. Trust us, it’s harder than it sounds.

If you’ve seen the movie, we’d love to know your take – and if you enjoyed the episode, leave us a review!
