F-1 The Movie
We will be attending the movie as a NBCC event on the afternoon of Monday, July 7 at 3:30 p.m. at Landmark Cinemas at the Pen Centre in St. Catharines. (Mondays are seniors days with
a 20% discount on tickets and concessions). Reserved seating tickets can be purchased in
advance starting July 2 on line at (https://www.landmarkcinemas.com/showtimes/st-catharines-pen-centre).
The movie runs for 155 minutes!!,
This movie was in production for over two years and had a budget of over US$300M. In it,
Brad Pitt plays a has-been racer-for-hire 30 years past his prime and past a career ending F1
crash. He has been offered a seat in a start-up team to have another go at it.
Filmed at live Gran Prix events in 2023 and 2024 involving all 10 actual F1 teams and their
drivers, the tracks seen in the film include Silverstone, the Hungaroring, Spa, Suzuka and Abu
Dhabi.
Toto Wolff and Mercedes Applied Science modified six F2 racing cars to look like F1 cars and
to be capable of carrying the drivers and 60 pounds of special film camera equipment to
speeds in excess of 180 miles per hour. Pitt and co-star Idris trained for this task under the
tutelage of stunt drivers Luciano Bachata (also a former F1 driver), Craig Dolby and Duncan
Tappy at Winfield Racing School, Paul Ricard.
Meet, Eat ‘n Go
We are also combining this movie with dinner after at Kelsey’s (https://www.kelseys.ca/en/
locations/on/st.-catharines/221-glendale-ave), also located at the Pen Centre so we will not
need a map or directions. (Kelsey’s is on the south end of the Pen property adjacent to Glendale Avenue).

For many, it will bring back vivid memories of road trips, first loves, and family adventures. The show will transform the day into something extraordinary, creating moments of laughter, conversation, and even a few happy tears. It won’t just be an event—it will be a meaningful bridge between generations and a celebration of life, history, and community spirit.

Canadian Grand Prix
2025-06-13 - 2025-06-15
The Canadian Grand Prix will be held from June 13 -15 once again at the Circuit Gilles
– Villeneuve on the Isle Notre Dame in Montréal. The circuit is 4.361 kilometres long and
the lap record of 1:14.856 is held by Hamilton. Known by some as the Circuit des
Groundhogs, the critters have “joined the races” in 1990, 2008, 2018, 2022 and twice
in 2007. Will they show their heads again in 2025? Both Hamilton and Schumacher
have won here 7 times; can Hamilton take the all time record this year in a Ferrari and
make it 8 wins? I don’t think Max will be a factor!
In the Lehnen household, they watch it on TSN.
