WION review of F1
In WION's review of the film, Shomini Sen wrote, “Filming a F1 race from a driver’s and a team perspective is tricky, but the film's cinematographer Claudio Miranda, who has earlier worked with Kosinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer, makes this film an immersive experience. The film’s camera takes you inside the world of Formula One, its fast-paced, nerve-racking races, which make or break people’s careers. The film is a treat for all racing enthusiasts.”
