I see that Sylvester Stallone has given up the idea of making a movie about Formula One and is looking at ChampCar instead. After a year of hanging around pit and paddock, he decided he couldn’t get a handle on F1. Got some great passes, though.
The world needs another motor racing movie like it needs Rocky VI or Rambo – the director’s cut. We already know the plot. There’s the young hotshoe, the grizzled crew chief, the driver at the end of his career; there’s the feckless young “screwdriver,” and there’s the woman who says, “You’re not in love with me. You’re in love with whatever it is you find out there.”
