F1
LOVED F1 and kicking myself I didn’t see it in IMAX. Though probably 30 minutes too long, the racing scenes were phenomenal and helped me realize it’s a far more complicated sport than I thought. Started watching Drive To Survive as a result and plan to follow Formula 1 now.

Book Two is where the story stops feeling theoretical. The room to maneuver gets smaller. Every decision starts closing doors instead of opening them.

In Hindsight
When Book One begins, neither the characters nor the reader have any sense of what’s coming. The choices feel small. The stakes feel manageable. In hindsight, everything that follows is already set in motion.
