The 'Dil Dhadakne Do' actress wrote on her IG, "If you haven't watched F1, do yourself a favour and go right now. Whether you're interested in sports or not, whether you know anything about racing or not, whether you care about racing cars or not-just go watch it." Sharing what "F1" is really about, Shefali added, "Yes, it is about racing, but it's also about rising and falling and rising again.

She further disclosed what one might feel after witnessing the drama. "It's also about very witty lines, comebacks, sexy cars, adrenaline, moments that'll have you dig your nails into your palms, cross your fingers, say a silent prayer, and scream within as you win along with the cast. A choke in your throat and a ball in your stomach throughout-and finally, the explosion and roar of a win, tears of joy, and the strong urge to start jumping and cheering loudly," the 'Jalsa' actor added. Shefali concluded the post by praising director Javier Bardem and protagonist Brad Pitt for their work. "Oh, did I not mention @bardemantarctic and Brad Pitt? Can't. No words to. Just go watch the film," the post ended. Previously, actress Ananya Panday also used social media to shower appreciation on "F1".

'F1 The Movie' is a very expensive promotional film
Hollywood has not always been kind to the world's most popular motorsport. In 'Talladega Nights' (2006), a dimwit comedy, Formula One (f1) was personified by a French driver who brags that his countrymen 'invented democracy, existentialisme and the blowjob'. F1, in this telling, was pretentious and it was foreign: an interloper in NASCAR-loving America.

Simone Ashley shows up in style at F1 movie premiere after her role was removed; Reddit says, ‘Hope they cut her huge pay cheque'
Simone Ashley's role may have been scrapped from the movie F1, but that didn't stop her from owning the red carpet like an absolute professional. Turning up to the London premiere on June 23 with her head held high, the Bridgerton star proved she doesn't need screen time to steal the spotlight. Fans were quick to take note of her stunning appearance, flooding social media with praise for her class act, as photos and videos of her radiant red carpet walk went viral. Simone Ashley's golden moment at the F1 red carpet premiere Simone Ashley pulled up to the F1 premiere looking effortlessly striking in a custom gold Balmain gown that balanced edge with elegance. The structured peplum silhouette, complete with a metallic bodice and sharp sculptural details, shimmered under the flash of every camera. simone ashley showing up to the f1 premiere despite being cut out the movie…shes so much better than me WE LOVE U PRINCESS The Sex Education star's look was polished but not overdone, with bronzed makeup, sleek straight hair, and a calm presence that did all the talking. Walking in solo, she posed with ease, greeted fans, and carried herself with the kind of confidence that explained why she's one of Hollywood's most sought-after rising stars at the moment. Why Simone's scenes didn't make the final cut Simone was cast in F1 in mid-2024 and filmed scenes across several real Grand Prix events, including the British Grand Prix. Her character was originally written with a full arc, but during post-production, director Joseph Kosinski decided to scale back her role due to runtime constraints. Speaking to People, Kosinski explained that editing decisions like this are common, adding, 'Simone is an incredible talent, and I'd love to work with her again.' He also noted that he personally informed her of the change, emphasising the professionalism on both sides. In the final cut, she reportedly appears briefly in a non-speaking cameo. Reddit reacts to Simone's appearance at the F1 premiere While Simone has stayed quiet about being removed from the film, Reddit certainly hasn't. When photos of her F1 premiere appearance hit the popular Reddit forum r/Fauxmoi, users were quick to rally behind her. 'She's a better person than me,' one person wrote, praising her grace in showing up despite being cut from the film. A second Redditor added, "Lmao, she really said, 'I'm going, and I'm going to be the hottest one there. Mission accomplished. I don't even need to see anyone else. incredible outfit, incredible face." "She's a professional! I won't be watching the movie (that director is problematic and Brad Pitt sucks), but I hope she gets more opportunities; she deserves it," a third user said. "Honestly, slay. This falls in line with my wanting her to do the earlier career Zendaya approach of being on red carpets she doesn't need to be at just to turn out a lewk and serve face," one user mentioned. Another person stated, "I hope they cut her a huge cheque in order for her to show up. Her being cut made way more noise than they expected, I bet." Others criticised makers, calling the decision 'shady' and 'disappointing' — not just because of what happened to Simone, but because it echoed a larger issue in Hollywood: how actors of colour continue to be sidelined, even in high-profile projects. F1 follows a retired Formula One driver, played by Brad Pitt, who returns to the track to mentor a rising star. Directed by Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick), the film blends high-stakes racing with a classic underdog redemption arc and will be released in theatres on June 27.

Kate Cassidy finds sign from Liam Payne in a rainbow: 'He had to say hello...'
Kate Cassidy believes Liam Payne has said "hello" to her through a rainbow. The 26-year-old influencer had been dating former One Direction star Liam for over two years when he died in October 2024 after falling off a balcony in Buenos Aires at the age of 31, and during an appearance at Miami Grand Prix over the weekend, she revealed that a sign had come to her that she thinks was from the tragic singer. Alongside a snap of herself at the major sporting event, she wrote on Instagram: "had such a great time at f1" In the carousel, Kate shared a short video of a rainbow in the sky and a fan wrote: "Liam showing up through the rainbow". Kate replied: "He had to say hello." The positive update comes just weeks after Kate admitted that she was having to push herself to leave the house for the sake of her mental health. Speaking on UK TV show 'Lorraine', she said: "I've always enjoyed walking. I would consider myself an active person but obviously, now I'm going through this healing journey, sometimes it's hard for me to get out of bed in the morning and it is something that I don't want to do. "In a way, I have no choice. I have to get out of bed. A 20-minute walk refreshes my mind, it gets me out of bed and really, really helps my mental health." Kate - who had been with Liam on a trip to the Argentinian capital but left to go home to the US just hours before the tragedy occurred- still discusses the 'Strip That Down' singer in the "present tense" and hasn't yet accepted that he is no longer here, but has "better days and harder days" amid her grief. She said: "I find myself talking about him still very much in the present tense. I don't even feel the need to correct myself because I still can't part of my healing journey. I'm still working on accepting the fact that he's not here anymore so it's hard for me to refer to him in the past tense. And when I do refer to him in the past tense, it almost stings that little bit more. It's more official. I never would have thought I would be talking about him in the past tense so it's definitely really hard to accept." "I am trying to do my best. I have my better days, harder days but I'n surrounded by such a great support system that I can not thank enough. "
