F1 The Movie's Hidden Gem: Jody

F1 the Movie is pure cinema at its absolute sweetest. It gets everything about sport, everything about motorsport, and everything about film making absolutely perfect. Its characters are vivid, believable and compelling. The conflicts are gripping. The action is riveting. The payoff for it all is spectacular.

Hidden away in the corners of the film is its best character: Jody, the cute pit crew girl. Director Joseph Kosinski has hidden her away in the layers of the film, but she is the glue that brings the whole thing together and makes it so satisfying.
