With the The 2025 Formula 1 season is poised to begin shortly. This coming Friday, a fresh preview will be released for the upcoming F1 The movie featuring Brad Pitt was released today coincidentally. For those who haven't seen it yet, the preview clip that surfaced earlier this year, The newest trailer provides a more extended glimpse into the movie where Pitt transitions from residing in a van to speeding through some of the racing world’s most renowned tracks.
In the film, the actor embodies Sonny Hayes, billed in marketing materials as "the greatest who never made it." During the '90s, he emerged as one of Formula 1’s promising talents; however, a tragic incident almost derailed his racing aspirations. This led him to spend over thirty years as a freelancer driver. Then, after all those years, his erstwhile teammate—who has since transformed into an F1 team principal (portrayed by Javier Bardem)—approaches him with an available spot, seemingly overlooking numerous other capable competitors. As expected, this situation sparks intense conflict when Hayes clashes with his fresh protégé, portrayed by Damson Idris.
While filming the movie, scenes were captured at the 2023 British Grand Prix featuring a fictitious Mercedes-AMG racing car steered by seasoned drivers. The director, Joseph Kosinski, known for his work as the filmmaker behind this project, also took charge of similar productions previously. Top Gun: Maverick , apparently aimed to minimize the use of CGI, so both Pitt and Idris put in training time to handle actual driving for certain scenes. Additionally, it’s noteworthy that seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton is listed as a producer.
F1 is set to debut in U.S. cinemas on June 27, 2025, just two days following its global release on June 25. Given that it was produced by Apple Original Films, it will later be available for streaming on Apple TV+.
