I'm going this weekend no matter what, but how can I convince non-F1 people to go, too?

Ask them if they liked Apollo 13 then tell them to get in the damn car.

Use words like "human story" and "tits" and "Olivia Wilde".
DISCLAIMER: You don't see Olivia Wilde's tits, but there are three or four other topless women in it.

For Guys: Apollo 13 was pretty cool, right?
For Girls: Chris Hemsworth. 'nuff said.

By non-F1 arguments like:
From Ron Howard, director of "A beautiful Mind",
With Chris Hemsworth ("Who?" - "aka Thor" - "Oooh, nice")
and Olivia Wilde ("Who again?" - "aka, the skinny hot chick from House and Tron" - "Hello, nurse!")
and Daniel Brühl ("Daniel what?" - "aka the guy from 'Goodbye Lenin' - "what movie?" - "Goodbye Lenin" - "never heard of" - "he was also the annoying german soldier in 'Inglourius Basterds'" - "No idea")

DON'T BRING UP DRIVEN !!!!
Sell it as an action movie. Action, drama - based on a true story, etc...
Use the Ron Howard angle. Remind them of his films; Apollo 13, Backraft, Splash, Cocoon, Night Shift, DaVinci code, A Beautiful Mind......
If that doesn't work, tell them (depending on gender) that Thor or #13 from House takes their clothes off.
And if those don't work, tell them it's not Ron Howard's first car movie. Gung Ho with Long Duk Dong is a classic.

Tell them it deserves serious consideration for film of the year. Ask them about movies they like. If they say something like Apollo 13 say oh I didn't know you were a huge fan of sci-fi and space stuff. If they say, well no i'm not really then say, good. If you're not a fan of racing you'll love this too.
I'm also a big fan of the critic who said this was the best movie Ron Howard has ever made. Then remind those friends that Ron Howard made Apollo 13, A Beautiful Mind, Frost/Nixon, and a bunch of other good movies. If they've seen and liked ANY of those movies there are critics saying this is by far his best work... that should be reason enough to convince them to go.

Or just tell them to get in the damn car.

I have an idea. Unless you have shitty friends buy their ticket. Tell them if they don't like it you're square. If they do like it they owe you.

Tell them its from the same guy that did Arrested Development, and that they haven't lived until they have seen Nikki Lauda's chicken dance?
...or maybe just kidnap them...

Just go by yourself. The last thing you want is somebody complaining about this boring movie. (to them)

Male? Are they? Male, that is. If so, pull the Man Card.
Female? Hemsworth butt.

I say go alone. Then if they don't like it you won't feel bad for wasting their time...that's my plan atleast.

The movie hardly needs any selling...there's action, there's drama, there's Ron Howard who's known to make good movies, there's Olivia Wild who's known to appeal to dudes, there's Chris Hemsworth who's known to appeal to dudettes. Also Chekov from the new Star Trek movies, and that chick from the Tudors and Game of Thrones as a nurse.
