Grand Prix (1966) — Geri Halliwell Reviews a Classic

Geri Halliwell is many things: Spice Girl, motorsport insider, woman who once cried at a Dairylea advert. This week, she turns her attention to John Frankenheimer's 1966 epic Grand Prix — and she has feelings.

In this episode, Geri brings her trademark honesty ("warts and all, with love") to one of cinema's great racing films. She talks about why this three-hour spectacular made her retreat to the kitchen for a quiet, overwhelmed cup of tea. She reflects on what years spent inside Formula 1 — the pit lanes, the Red Bull debriefs, the conversations about downforce she didn't always fully follow but always felt — taught her about what this film is really saying.

Because at its heart, Grand Prix isn't about racing. It's about people who are completely, dangerously in love with something. And Geri, as it turns out, understands that better than most.

Emotional, funny, and surprisingly insightful — this is film review as only Geri can do it.
