But before that storyline becomes a reality, Kosinski lifted the hood on his latest starry vehicle with Pitt in the driver’s seat.
F1 is many things, it’s an underdog tale, it’s a sports drama, it’s about second chances. Tell us how you found your way into the story?
I’ve always been interested in racing and machines. I did my undergrad in mechanical engineering. So I was always a project-oriented kid; building cars, rockets, airplanes, so it was a world suited to my interests. But it was that first season of (the Netflix docuseries) Drive to Survive that hooked me. That season they focused on the last-place team. The team that doesn’t win every weekend. The rookie trying to prove himself in a car that’s just not as fast as everyone else’s. To me, that was a way into this world. Telling the story at the back of the grid, and a racer who was once thought to be the next world champion that lost his way and gets one more chance to prove he belongs there. That was my way in from a story point of view. Then it was about building the ultimate team around me to make it. Luckily, I was able to do that.
