While the film has its moments, it falls short in some areas. The pacing is uneven, but the strong performances make up for it somewhat.

Whatever It Takes
Movie

It’s called “Whatever It Takes.” Why? because Scuderia AlphaTauri does exactly that, whatever it takes, to design, build and develop our cars to race at over twenty race tracks around the world. Filmed from when the team began working on their 2022 challenger up to its initial shakedown prior to the start of the season, the first car to be built to radically reshaped technical regulations, the film crew was a fly-on-the-wall in meetings, in the design office, the wind tunnel, as well as the manufacturing and assembly areas to bring you a truly unique insight into the life of a Formula 1 team and what happens on a day to day basis in the crazy rush to get two cars ready for action in the world’s fastest paced sport.
