I remember watching them try to see if they could manage to do it in the same time on Fifth Gear a few years ago. The backstory is that the car is actually a Merc, with a Ferrari engine sound dubbed over it.

Technically, Driven was about the IndyCar series, not F1.

And what a dreadful movie.

Hands down its Gone in 60 Seconds (1974)

The second half of the film is a 40 minute car chase scene spanning several cities in which 90 cars are destroyed. It is a treat to see a movie that is all real...no CGI/SFX here - just real driving and destruction.

Beverly Hills Cop, is a contender.

One of the Spider Man movies has an el scene that was filmed in Chicago, even though the movie (and that scene) are set in New York.

125th st, 1 train. Live right there.

Those BMW shorts are quite excellent. As opposed to the recent Audi ripoff with Justin Timberlake.

Bullitt is my favorite scene, but going along with the McQueen theme, Le Mans is also fantastic.
