I’ll be adding my own thoughts once I watch it (probably Saturday) but wanted to clarify that the suit he wears in that first altercation with Vanko at the race is not capable of flight. This was possibly a trade off for its mobility. It’s not clear in the film. So the mistake is totally understandable. That fight scene did kind of work for me because it was about Tony’s vulnerability outside the suit. The tension comes from getting to the suit. Once he puts it on, he handily defeats Vanko. It’s a nice comparison with the scene in Iron Man 3 where Tony doesn’t have his suit and he needs to use his own skills to get inside the Mandarin’s compound

I did not get this detail at all.  Did they mention this in the movie, or is this something a person would only know from comic books?  The formula 1 scene is my least favorite part of the movie, although it may be more the director's fault for not clearly communicating the important details.

As far as I can remember it’s not in the film. I read it somewhere else. Possibly IMDb
