Transcripts
Formula 1 races keep turning into live
movie sets and now that there's a teaser
trailer to go with the new F1 film
starring Brad Pit we thought it was time
to share some of the background stories
that we found by being lucky enough to
see these live movie sets in action
because this film's being shot where we
work where Formula 1 races so it's time
to actually delve into that a little bit
you've seen the teaser trailer or you'll
see it with us right now and we're going
to tell you the some of the making of it
and also some of what you might be able
to expect when the full film comes out
next year
okay Red Bull Ferrari Mercedes Aston now
McLaren all have a speed on the Straits
our shot is battling in the turns we
need to build our car for
combat how am I supposed to make that
safe who said anything about safe so
danger cells we we know that in in
Formula 1 drive to survive the very
title of the Netflix docky series tells
you that surprising in a way safety is
normally an inviable part of Formula 1
but you know with what this is I guess
they're going to let that slide the key
thing that you need to know here in
terms of where this was shot is
obviously this is a dramatic scene shot
between between the actors a lot of what
we've seen has obviously been the track
side stuff where they've been doing lots
and lots of on track recording with pit
driving the car dams and Idris driving
the car and professionals as well doing
other sessions but they've also as you
can clearly see been filming the actual
dramatic stuff around that this year
with the track side stuff they're still
filming on track we saw that at
Silverstone at the British Grand Prix
this year year as well but they're
filming a lot more dramatic scenes track
side as well we're going to get into
that I'm sure as this teaser goes
on so we've already had a quick Montage
there of shots that show the
immersiveness of this film all of these
shots actually captured on site at real
Formula 1 races you saw the the pit wall
for example the team Apex G p a
fictional 11th team really was and is a
fictional 11th team they've created an
entire one they've got a massive
Hospitality unit in the pad which I
think is an old Williams one Daniel
Ricardo clocked that on the Thursday at
the British Grand Prix and was quite
surprised by how impressive it was
they've got their own garage setup two
garages for the two cars and as you saw
the pit wall there so this isn't all
super duper CGI or green screen or
anything like that that this is a team
that actually well was in Formula 1 at
the 2023 British Grand Prix at the 2024
British gr pry and having slightly
smaller presences at various tracks in
between them that that car's run in in
Hungary it's run at xandor at Spa Las
Vegas Abu Dhabi it's run at Suzuka this
year it's going to run in Mexico later
this year so the immersiveness I'm going
to probably going to use that word a lot
by accident in this but that is what
they they're trying to recreate um the
actual feeling of being in the paddock
and the best way of doing that isn't a
close set and lots of extras and and and
faking it it's actually to do it for
real which is pretty impressive
bu make a big knce playing in the
[Music]
street so we've had loads of car footage
there as as you can tell this trailer
actually doesn't this teaser trailer
doesn't give away much of the plot which
is pretty much by Design but the the
reason it has so much car footage early
on one is obviously to scream that it's
a film about F1 even though the car that
they're driving isn't an F1 car it's a
modified f 2 car made to look like F1 it
was modified by Mercedes technology
Division and Carlin now the reason that
they're doing this is they're super
proud of everything that they've shot
they've used uh high-tech cameras
looking back at the drivers and
capturing the onboards capturing it from
just outside the car as well to to to
show to photograph to film cars being
driven in the way that even us who have
watched F1 racing and other forms of
motorsport for years haven't seen cars
shot this way certainly not in this
fidelity they're really proud of it and
they're proud of the fact that pit and
Idris have been driving the cars that
they've gone through months and months
of training to drive these at competent
levels now they're not going to go out
and be um winning F2 races anytime soon
if they jumped in in the real thing let
alone F1 but it's all part of making it
as real as possible to to capture that
sort of feeling of being inside the car
and what's this like half a minute into
the trailer already 40 seconds and you
already get a sense of just how quite
cool some of the action sequences on
track are going to be be in this film
you big disgrace kicking your can all
over
the will rock you
see this scene's quite cool they've not
been snuck in after the fact digitally
they were actually snuck into place at
the 2023 British Grand Prix as part of
the lineup during the national anthem
you wouldn't have seen it on the the
world feed the the broadcast the cameras
were quite clever with what they showed
what they didn't where they moved away
as the cameras moved back across the the
rest of the lineup the normal grid
that's when they snuck pit pit and Idris
into place at the end they then walked
down to the back of the grid and I think
they might have shot a dramatic scene
down there as well they certainly were
this year which involved I think it was
pit and bardam that I could see uh at
the back of the grid I love this for a
few reasons but mainly that those of us
that know those of us that know that
those are the real drivers it's kind of
like a lovely little Easter egg for us
but I also love the fact that there are
going to be non-racing fans non F1 fans
watching this that have no idea that
those are real drivers they'll think
they're just extras or you know um
support members of of the car so I like
that but it's a good example actually
what we saw this year an emphasis on the
dramatic scenes that they're filming at
silverston so there was that what I as I
said I think a pit baram scene at the
back of the grid which I think is sort
of hinted at in this trailer as well so
they must have shot something to do with
this last year but the other thing that
they did this year which was really
ambitious was that the two um the two
drivers in this film uh pit and Idis his
characters did interviews in the mix
Zone the media pen after qualifying and
the race that's where the broadcast
media and the written media gather we
could see it from our Vantage Point
while we waited for the drivers to come
over to us the the the crew members had
their own slot in the mix Zone just like
any other broadcaster and then after
qualifying in the race pit and Idris
would come over and uh speak to them do
an inter interview clearly for a scene
in the film and this was so surreal
because you had drivers that had stinker
qualifying sessions or horrible races
doing these kind of almost crestfallen
TV interviews and in the background you
could just see Brad Pit or Damon Idris
walking around filming so quite surreal
ambitious because there's not a lot of
time in those mix zones and they can be
quite chaotic but just shows how
committed they are should we say to that
that element of actually being in real
world F1 and doing things actually live
in The
[Music]
Paddock so as I said lots of actual real
world footage in this film they've
really kept to a minimum I think the the
the use of digital trickery and
Technology to impose the cars and
characters into real world F1 this is
probably the best example of how they've
Blended real world footage and high-tech
um additions and splicing so this I
think was actually captured from the
2023 Belgian Grand Prix on Pierre gle's
Alpine they had a much higher resolution
camera fitted to that car than is
normally run in F1 races still had to
tick all of the box
in regulatory terms for the FIA and then
what they've done they've captured that
footage from that car and then they've
skinned the Apex car and pits character
on top of that you'll see that a couple
of times I think in in this trailer but
this is a really good example of it
because well o Rouge for F1 fans racing
fans is probably the most famous Corner
in the world and to to have that kind of
High Fidelity on board going up it it's
probably going to be one of the best
action shots I think of the film in
terms of putting you in the driver's
seat which is one of the things that
they want to achieve with
[Music]
this
[Music]
will nothing really to say there other
than hello good to Steiner it amazes me
that the popularity and fame that this
guy has it amazes him as well I we joke
about it all the time because he still
turns up in F1 races now but yeah a nod
to his drive to survive Fame and
celebrity there but just just
objectively hilarious to see gter stting
to pop up in a in a Hollywood teaser
trailer
[Music]
[Music]
so you saw just a second ago when idrc's
character comes into the pits and you're
seeing it here that rear facing camera
now F1 fans racing fans we're not
unfamiliar to this concept camera's
looking back at the drivers now I'm sure
a few of you are noticing that they're
running clear visors in the daytime
we're going to try and Skip past that
this is again uh a use of something a
resolution that we're just not used to
seeing which I think is fantastic um and
it leans into the fact that yes again
the actors were actually driving these
cars a lot of the shooting was obviously
done at Silverstone shooting at other
tracks I think a lot of it was done by
by other drivers professional racing
drivers in these cars but again more
reminders that one the action sequences
and the incar stuff is going to be
really cool in this film but again a
reminder these drivers these actors
sorry are actually driving the cars so
that is quite cool and the sequence that
that runs through this you get a hint of
the storyline as well the the the real
teams they're just kind of incidental
characters background characters in this
film The is going to be contained within
the Apex team I keep mentioning the
immersion of this and the fact that
they're actually driving the cars what I
quite like about this is um if you've
seen uh either the well obviously the
original Top Gun movie but then the the
sequel Maverick which the director of
this film Joseph Kinski is behind I
think you get that same kind of feeling
it's probably no surprise really given
the similarity in terms of the the
creative minds behind it but that sort
of this feeling here as you're getting
closer and closer to him it kind of
there there's a level of like intensity
uh behind it which I think is quite cool
and it's really hard to capture F1 in
this way I've spoken to the people
behind the F1 broadcast so many times
about how they're trying to add
Innovations with onboard cameras and the
like to to just try and put the viewer
inside the F1 car and that's quite
tricky the driver's Eye camera is
probably the closest that we come but
it's so low resolution then when you see
this which okay isn't driver's eye but
it's right inside the car right inside
someone actually driving this is the
kind of thing that I think will people
that aren't familiar with it I think
will'll get a lot out of it but I think
racing fans will hopefully enjoy it as
[Music]
well so the F1 movie literally the F1
movie that's the title of the film F1 a
big deal in F1 is the fact that the logo
has they've let them change the color it
sounds so stupid but F1 is such a
stickler for this it's a bit of a
hangover from The Bernie eilon era uh
the fact that it's called F1 though my
understanding is that this is actually
what the filmmakers wanted it was their
their first choice it it does two things
I think first of all from the filmmaker
side it makes it really clear what this
this movie is about and the story that
they're trying to tell that it's in the
world of Formula 1 from f1's side it's a
massive promotional opportunity the fact
that so many people are going to be
exposed to this Hollywood Blockbuster
with this hundreds of millions of
dollars behind the the production that I
mean okay it's uh if it goes terribly
the film bombs and it looks absolutely
awful then maybe F1 gets mildly stained
by it but the I think the risk is worth
the reward when you think of the upside
of being associated with something of
this proportion and the actual
Championship name is being used with it
will the film actually be any good I
don't think you can really tell from
this teaser trailer all I can say from
what I've seen behind the scenes and how
what I've heard from people um telling
me about it you know we've all got
sources within the paddock we've got
people that are close to to the movie as
well that have given us a little bit of
background shall we say there's not
going to be any shortage of trying uh
behind this the ambition is massive the
the quality of the footage that they're
capturing which I think comes across
massively in this teaser trailer really
shows how hard they're they're trying to
capture the authenticity of being in the
world of formul one they've been fly on
the wall a lot of races for the last 12
months it's not going to be a
documentary it's not going to be be
Netflix there's going to be a lot of
drama there's going to be a storyline
maybe you don't fully believe but give
it a chance I think if this doesn't work
it's not going to be because the way
it's depicted F1 that's going to be the
problem
