F1 movie review

In his review for Outlook India, Debanjan Dhar gave F1 2.5 out of 5 stars. An excerpt of the review read: "Director Joseph Kosinski is formidable at drumming up feverish excitement and anticipation. We’ve already encountered the buzz, glitziness and charge in his Tom Cruise-starrer Top Gun: Maverick (2022). Now, F1 drops us from air-borne hot pursuit to speeding, sleek cars."
