Jerry Bruckheimer And Joseph Kosinski On ‘F1’: Filming At Grand Prix, The Bottom Line On The Budget, How Lewis Hamilton Helped Steer The Project And His Take On Brad Pitt’s Driving

    The author makes several statements in the article that are not fallacious. However, there is an instance of an appeal to authority when Kosinski states 'We’re the eleventh team.' This statement implies that because they have partnership with Formula 1 and its teams, they have insider knowledge or expertise. While this may be true, it does not logically prove that their film will be successful or accurate due to this partnership alone.
