Whereas watching F1: The Film, I had a notepad and pen and was tallying the variety of ladies depicted as workers of APXGP, each on the observe and the manufacturing unit. It’s doable I missed some within the cut up seconds that I used to be reaching all the way down to snack on popcorn, however nonetheless, by the tip of the movie, I had noticed solely 4 ladies within the workforce’s uniform.
Now, I don’t wish to complain an excessive amount of, as I believe it was nice that Kerry Condon’s character, Kate, was portrayed because the workforce’s kick-ass technical director and one of many movie’s key gamers. Nonetheless, provided that she was probably the most outstanding feminine character within the film, I wasn’t obsessive about the truth that they introduced her professionalism into query by having her fall in love with Sonny, as if she couldn’t assist herself.
Moreover, I believe we may’ve carried out with a number of extra ladies engaged on the fictional APXGP workforce. Positive, the F1 paddock has lengthy been dominated by males, each within the automobiles and out of them, however instances are altering, and there are extra ladies than ever earlier than working in roles up and down the paddock. With that in thoughts, I might’ve liked to have seen a greater depiction of that within the film. Would it not have been that arduous?
