“F1: The Movie” nominated for four Oscars including Best Picture

Yes, I did enjoy watching the movie, but that is not my take. My take is that no matter what you thought of this movie, a lot of people liked it. Like, very many. Enough to make the movie a monster smash hit by the standards of the day. If you like car racing, but you’re mad the world liked this movie, you need to take a look at yourself. People who actually work in racing are thrilled about how popular F1 is, even in what you might think are “rival” series. More people liking racing is good for racing. You know, I bet the Venn diagram of people who hate the F1 movie and people think Formula 1 sucks now is a circle. Why don’t you go watch some racing you think is better than F1 and let people enjoy things?

Accessibility is one of Formula 1’s greatest strengths. It is getting millions of people interested in racing. We want the Best Picture of the Year to be F1: The Movie, don’t you see?
