F1: The film, previews of the plot
Known as “the greatest promise ever realized”, says the film’s synopsis, Sonny Hayes was the most crystalline talent of Formula 1 in the 90s, until an accident on the track threatened to end his career. Thirty years later, Sonny supports himself as a mercenary driver when he is approached by his former teammate Ruben Cervantes, owner of a struggling and on the verge of bankruptcy Formula 1 team. Ruben manages to convince Sonny to return to Formula 1 as a last hope to save the team and establish himself as the best driver in the world. Sonny will race alongside Joshua Pearce, a young rookie talent determined to dictate his rules within the team. But as the engines roar, the past resurfaces and Sonny realizes that your teammate represents your fiercest competition – and the road to redemption is one you can’t travel alone.
