F1 Drivers Reveal Favorite Racing Movies (w/ Lando Norris, Carlos Sainz, George Russell, Alex Albon)

The biggest names in F1 sit down with EW to share their all-time favorite racing films and unpack what these movies got right—and what Hollywood tends to get hilariously wrong. George Russell, Lando Norris, Carlos Sainz, Alex Albon, Nico Hülkenberg, Esteban Ocon, Liam Lawson, Isack Hadjar, Gabriel Bortoleto, and Oliver Bearman weigh in on iconic titles like ‘Rush’ and ‘Cars,' react to newer movies like 'Ferrari' and 'Gran Turismo,' and even give their thoughts on 2025’s 'F1' movie starring Brad Pitt.

The drivers dive into everything: realism vs. spectacle, what it’s like to see your world dramatized on the big screen, and which movies inspired them as kids to chase speed and glory. Whether it's the raw intensity of 'Days of Thunder,' the absurd humor of 'Talladega Nights,' or the childhood nostalgia of Lightning McQueen, expect behind-the-scenes insights from actual F1 drivers.

'F1 The Movie' is now in theaters.
