    I saw it Friday. I give it 6/10. The script is worthless (it's a Jerry Bruckheimer production, after all.) The racing scenes are very well filmed. 50% of the F1 content is close to reality, the other 50% is pure fantasy. But it's a fictional story, after all, so I can forget the sometimes absurd aspects of the story. Pitt plays the only character he always plays: himself. There are some funny cameos by Gunther Steiner, Fernando Alonso and Toto Wolff. Overall, the real world of F1 (real drivers, tracks, cars, etc.) is very well integrated in the story.

    However, the portrayal of IMSA racing in the first scene is really dishonest, almost insulting.

    Is it better than "Grand Prix":? No. Is it better than "Driven"? Well, everything is better than "Driven"!! :D

    Seriously, it's not a disaster, but it's not a great movie either. It's pretty much what I expected.
