F1: THE MOVIE (2025) PROMPTS
* assorted dialogue, adjust as necessary.
when was the last time you won a race?
we just gotta hope for some lucky breaks.
what do you care what they say? it's just noise.
we do what everybody does, we lose.
hey, you lose that lead and i'll kill ya.
i think it's wonderful that they're giving second chances to the elderly.
who's fighting? i'm racing.
our shot is battling in the turns. we need to build our car for combat.
for what it's worth, don't be shitty to yourself. there's plenty of people out there that'll do that for you.
when you look in a mirror, you see this rough-and-tumble old school cowboy. doesn't take orders, goes his own way, huh? a lone wolf.
well, i have news for you. formula one is a team sport. it always was.
may i remind you that you report to me.
cool. just don't ask me to give up position.
hey, lemme ask you something.
a close friend made you an offer that is one hundred percent, positively, too good to be true. what do you do?
it's not about the money.
it's rare, but sometimes, there's this moment in the car where everything goes quiet, my heartbeat slows, it's peaceful, and i can see everything, and no one, no one can touch me.
i am chasing that moment every time i get in the car.
i don't know when i'll find it again, but man, i want to.
in that moment, i'm flying.
there's twenty other drivers still out on that track. you think any of them respect us?
i'm offering you an open seat in formula one, the only place you could say if you win, you are the absolute best in the world.
i'm told you're looking for a driver.
if the last thing i do is drive that car, i will take that life.
i climbed a mountain to get here!
you're making a mistake, thinking that i'm gonna be some grateful kid who'll bend a knee to an old-timer.
okay, here's another one my dad would say. slow is smooth, smooth is fast.
listen, let's get this straight: we all lose our jobs if you can't pull off a miracle.
when i said i like straight talk, i meant me. from others, i prefer mostly praise, flattery, idolatry. sometimes even gibberish.
i'm here to prove everyone wrong. my ex, my old boss, my first year uni physics professor. and until we win, i haven't.
what would he want you to do?
look, i wanna bring you on board.
right here, next year, let's run it back.
we did it, man. a deal's a deal.
what kind of way is that to race?
you just spend your whole life starting over.
i'll see you down the road.
let it go. focus on a clean start.
can we just not break any rules?
the rules are against us though, aren't they?
anything you wish you'd done differently?
basically what i'm trying to say is... i'm sorry.
thanks. you're a superstar.
he's driving angry. not good. it's not good.
your man thought i was maintenance. sent me to the backgate.
i'll never live with myself if i can't keep up with you.
someone has to sacrifice.
we are the best in the world.
what are you smiling about?
you pull that shit again, i will knock your teeth out.
no one passes us without a fight.
you think you got a seat next year? 'cause you just cut your chances in half. that's how dumb you are.
you failed! why should i listen to you anyway?
look man, i don't give two shits about you.
you wanna sabotage your career, you go right ahead.
just take care of your tires. you have to make them last.
should we just do the opposite of what he tells us to do?
