Over the long weekend, I got a chance to catch the new movie by Apple, F1, starring Brad Pitt and my personal favorite, Javier Bardem (of No Country for Old Men fame). With an estimated production cost of over $250 million, the movie did not disappoint and I would put it up there with Ford v Ferrari and Rush when it comes to racing-related movies. F1 currently has an IMDB rating of 7.9 out of 10 and 83% on Rotten Tomatoes.

What also stood out about F1 were the product placements or ads, with the microcap company Expensify (EXFY), the consumer products company SharkNinja (SN), Tommy Hilfiger, GEICO and the watchmaker IWC taking the cake.
