Thirty years later, he’s a nomadic racer-for-hire when he’sapproached by his former teammate Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), owner of a struggling FORMULA 1 team that ison the verge of collapse. Ruben convinces Sonny to come back to FORMULA 1 for one last shot at saving the team and being the best in the world.

But as the engines roar, Sonny’s past catches up with him and he finds that in FORMULA 1, your teammate is your fiercest competition — and the road to redemption is not something you can travel alone.
