Brad Pitt's F1: The Movie is undeniably thrilling and infuriatingly unrealistic
F1: The Movie was always going to struggle to set itself apart from the runaway hit Netflix series Formula 1: Drive to Survive. What: A middle-aged driver's improbable comeback to the elite world of F1 racing. Starring: Brad Pitt and Damson Idris Directed by: Joseph Kosinski When: In cinemas now Likely to make you feel: Pumped with adrenaline, but disappointed The multi-season reality TV show has been following F1 drivers, team managers and owners on and off the race track for seven seasons, elevating drivers to global stardom and introducing the sport to new, diverse audiences. And the viewers have been lapping it up. This perhaps explains the film's ludicrous plot. F1 stars Brad Pitt as Sonny Hayes, a middle-aged, washed up driver who retired from the limelight after a near-fatal crash at the Spanish Grand Prix 30 years ago. He now spends his days filling in at a hodgepodge of motorsport competitions — from the 24 Hours of Daytona race in the US to the Baja 100 in Mexico. Some call him a has-been. Others think he's a never-was. Enter Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), owner of the fictional Expensify APX GP F1 team and Sonny's former teammate. APX GP hasn't scored a single point for the past two-and-a-half seasons and they're in desperate need of a lead driver to mentor their second: impatient rookie Joshua Pearce (played by a delightfully cheeky Damson Idris). Mid-season and with few other options, Ruben begs Sonny to take the role. Queue an intense rivalry between Joshua and Sonny, who clash over their age gap, racing strategies, attitudes and everything in between. Joshua is young, Black, British and so desperate for a long-term career in a sport that's historically been the playground of the white and elite that he's happy to function as a walking advertisement and do everything by the book. Despite the overconfidence he projects, he still has a lot to learn. Sonny is an achingly American older hunk of a white man who swans around in rose-tinted glasses with little awareness of his privilege and too much charm for his own good. He refuses to play the PR game or follow any rules, and his idea of race preparation involves donning a lucky pair of odd socks. And yet, with Sonny on board and just a few tweaks to their cars, APX GP somehow manages to turn themselves into real contenders in a handful of races. To say this is implausible is putting it lightly. But especially considering that a big part of APX GP's new-found success comes down to Sonny's "race strategies", which would better be described as dangerous race manipulation that in real life would more likely result in life-threatening injuries and penalties than podiums. It's surprising a movie produced by none other than seven-time F1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton takes so many liberties in depicting the sport. The narrative opportunities the F1 movie fumbles are similarly disappointing. You'd expect Sonny to have some kind of trauma to work through from his near-death experience driving an F1 car 30 years ago, but no. He's apparently fine to resume racing as if nothing ever happened. When Joshua faces a similarly horrifying crash, he too carries on racing with little fanfare. And while the F1 movie features an impressively diverse cast, it frequently does its marginalised characters a disservice. There's the time the only woman on the APX GP pit crew makes a crucial error at a pit stop. There's Kate McKenna (Kerry Condon), who may be the first woman to serve as APX GP's technical director, but the bulk of her storyline involves her breaking her "no sleeping with co-workers" rule for a certain driver. And when Joshua, a second-generation immigrant, points out he's had to work twice as hard to get where he is, Sonny quips that he only deserves a meaningless participation trophy. But what the F1 movie lacks in a plausible narrative and depth, it makes up for in its sleek original score from the inimitable Hans Zimmer, and undeniably thrilling driving sequences. Director Joseph Kosinski, the man behind Top Gun: Maverick, is unsurprisingly adept at making viewers feel as if they are the ones in the cockpit, and this film has the bonus of being filmed on real circuits during race weekends — from Silverstone in the UK to Monza in Italy. The F1 movie is at its best when realistically blurring fiction with reality. There are countless cameos throughout this film, from Red Bull's reigning world champion driver, Max Verstappen, to Mercedes chief executive Toto Wolff and prominent F1 commentator and journalist Will Buxton. A biopic looking at Hamilton's journey to F1 and subsequent super stardom would have likely meant more to the fans and had something of note to say — beyond ageism being 'bad' and feeling the fear and doing things anyway being 'good'. But as a fictionalised version of Drive to Survive that requires total suspension of disbelief, F1 is serviceable. Particularly for F1 fans who are into cameos, newcomers who don't care about plausibility … and people who simply want to ogle 61-year-old Pitt shirtless, physical abuse allegations and all. F1 is in cinemas now.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce make ‘red carpet debut' at unexpected event
In a moment fans say the 'world has been waiting for', Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce finally made their red carpet debut after two years of dating. The American power couple have repeatedly shunned posing together at big Hollywood events – including this year's Grammys – with Kelce instead opting to support his pop star girlfriend from the sidelines. And now, the high-profile pair have stepped out in Nashville for the opening night ceremony of Tight End University, a summer training camp which Kelce founded with fellow NFL stars George Kittle and Greg Olsen. The official Instagram account for Tight End University shared a short video of Swift and Kelce, both 35, smiling as they walked hand-in-hand on the red carpet, while other videos surfacing on social media show the duo posing in front of a photo wall. Swift, who has maintained a low profile since wrapping her billion-dollar Eras Tour in December last year, wore a green and white gingham skirt set, while Kelce opted for a casual white shirt and beige shorts. Another video from inside the event has also exploded on X, showing Swift and Kelce engaging in PDA as they dance to the singer's mega hit Love Story. Funnily enough, they were captured in the exact same scenario at the after-party following Kelce's Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl win in February 2024. Fans flooded social media gushing over the pair's 'casual' red carpet debut. 'The red carpet moment that the world has waited on for two years happened at TEU? I kind of love this. Met Gala? Grammys? Hell no we're doing TEU!,' one wrote. 'This as their first red carpet appearance is kinda perfect!' another said. 'This is so good I thought it was fake,' a third wrote. 'I love that they made their red carpet debut for him,' another chimed in. 'I've watched this 12 times in a row and it's not enough,' a fifth added. Swift and Kelce have been seen out and about a fair bit lately after several months off the radar. More recently, they were spotted sitting in a suite during Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final earlier this month, and were also filmed getting cosy at an intimate wedding in Knoxville, Tennessee. Fans went into a spin after a photo of the couple's invitation to the wedding emerged online, which addressed them as 'Taylor and Travis Kelce', leading many to believe they had secretly wed. However, Swift appeared to water down rumours during a visit to the Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital in Florida in mid-June. In a video shared online, a young boy asked the Grammy winner what she was doing in the US state. 'My boyfriend is training here, so I just thought I'd come and see how you're doing, just drop in on you,' Swift replied.

Noughties movie star Ali Larter's ripped bikini pic at 49
25 years after she first found fame in hits like Varsity Blues and Final Destination, noughties movie star Ali Larter looks absolutely sensational in her latest post. The 49-year-old star posted a stunning mirror selfie taken inside her trailer while filming the TV show Landman. Larter wears a teeny red string bikini in the photo, shared to her Instagram account, showing off her toned abs and legs. 'For all my ladies out there that work hard to be their best everyday,' she wrote in her caption. 'Let's hear how you do it? I had to shoot a bikini scene for my show last week. Playing a character that is so comfortable in her body drives me. So here's how I prep and what I eat for a day on set.' She then went on to detail her daily schedule, which includes waking up at 5:30 in the morning and drinking celery juice and coffee. She also explains she will work out, 'dunk my face in ice water, slather with oil cause of my spray tan' and leave for work by seven in the morning. In the photo, Larter accessorises the red bikini with a diamond cross necklace belonging to her character, which she calls 'my suit of armour for this woman.' '[Ten] minutes of deep breathing to break down the BS I tell myself and redirect my energy to a calm, confident, and creative state while I look over my material,' she wrote. 'And then go walk the walk! Let me know how you build yourself up to look and feel your best. Xo' The comments section was full of fans sending positivity towards the actress, with one writing 'I'll have what she's having. Holy moly Ali,' and another adding, 'Holy smokes- you look UNREAL!! I need to do all of these things immediately!!! #GOALS!!' This isn't the first time the Legally Blond e star has appeared on the show in a bikini. The actress posted a carousel of photos on her Instagram in November 2024 featuring stills from the show while promoting the first season. In the photos, the actress can be seen in a different red bikini, which featured strings wrapped around her abdomen. Larter plays Anglea, Billy Bob Thornton's character's on-again-off-again wife on the Taylor Sheridan-led show, which revolves around the oil business and the people behind it. The show also stars Demi Moore and Jon Hamm. Larter told Fox News Digital she worked with a dialogue coach to nail her character's West Texan accent, and was inspired by her wardrobe to get into character. 'They put a little air in their 'WH's, and so getting in the accent was something for me,' she said. 'Also, you know, Angela is a very glamorous woman, and she loves to like, you know, put on her leopard print bodysuits and her … jeans and so, putting on her wardrobe and her heels was a big thing for me, and the hair and makeup, and then it was a kind of moment of transforming into this character that is very provocative and very bold and comfortable in her body.'
