Inside the ‘F1’ movie premiere in New York - and why some drivers didn’t attend

The F1 paddock made a mad dash from Montreal to Manhattan following Sunday’s Canadian Grand Prix for the world premiere of the ‘F1’ movie. The highly-anticipated Brad Pitt flick debuted on the big screen at Radio City Music Hall, a couple of blocks away from the red carpet in the heart of New York City.

Of the grid’s 20 drivers, 15 jetted to the Big Apple on Monday morning, and checked into a swanky hotel uptown. There was no time for sightseeing, however, as the drivers got themselves red carpet ready within a matter of hours and headed to Times Square. They were joined by the film’s cast and creatives, along with a handful of other celebrities including Suni Lee, Lindsey Vonn, John Mayer and Dom Dolla.
