F1 plot recap, spoiler-light
Aging former racing prodigy Sonny Hayes is pulled out of retirement by his old friend Rubén Cervantes to drive for the struggling APXGP Formula 1 team. Rubén needs a win from the remaining races to prevent investors from selling the outfit. Sonny joins ambitious rookie Joshua Pearce, and the two initially clash on the track rather than working together.
After various chaotic races involving crashes, strategic gambles, and growing tensions, Joshua suffers an injury following a risky move. He eventually returns with an arrogant attitude that causes further friction with Sonny. Behind the scenes, team board member Peter Banning orchestrates sabotage to force the team's sale, and Rubén discovers that Sonny's old 1993 injuries leave him medically unfit to race due to risks of blindness or death. Despite these staggering obstacles, Sonny and Joshua eventually find a way to align their efforts just as the final showdown of the season approaches in Abu Dhabi.
