For context, the story follows Brad Pitt’s character, Sonny Hayes, an aging racing driver who returns to Formula 1 when he’s approached by his former F1 teammate, Ruben Cervantes (played by Javier Bardem), whose struggling F1 team, APXGP (pronounced "apex"), is under risk of being sold if they don’t win one of the nine remaining races in the season. Sonny — an F1 prodigy 30 years ago, who hasn’t driven in the division since — must race alongside a fiery rookie teammate, Joshua Pearce (played by Damson Idris), as he navigates the road to redemption.
