In a nutshell: Apple's latest motion picture, F1, is based on the Formula One World Championship – the highest level of racing in the world. Determined to make the film as authentic as possible, Apple aimed for unprecedented realism in its cinematography. Unfortunately, existing camera technology and strict league regulations didn't allow for the kind of footage the filmmakers envisioned.
