Going into my screening of F1: The Movie, I did not know much about F1: The Sport.

I recognized the name Lewis Hamilton, one of the producers of the film, because he was a co-chair of the Met Gala this year. Since I haven’t binged Formula 1: Drive to Survive on Netflix, my main point of reference was Sacha Baron Cohen doing an intentionally terrible French accent as a Formula One driver in Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.
