‘F1’, a Formula 1 film directed by Joseph Kosinski (‘Top Gun: Maverick’), stars Brad Pitt. Pitt portrays former Formula One driver Sonny Hayes, who teams up with rookie Joshua Pearce (played by actor Damson Idris, who was born in London) on the fictional APXGP team. Playing the team’s leader is Javier Bardem.
In significant roles in the movie are also played by Javier Bardem, Tobias Menzies, Sarah Niles, Kim Bodnia, and Samson Kayo.
The genuine sensation of being on actual Formula 1 tracks is captured in F1. Filming took place at real Formula One races, including the British Grand Prix from the previous year, the Rolex 24 at Daytona in January, and more.
The official Formula 1 account on X stated in an update that the video has a scene from the recent British Grand Prix.
F1 Teaser is out
A teaser for the movie, which stars Brad Pitt as an F1 driver caught up in the competitive world of Formula 1 racing, was just released by the film’s makers. In the teaser, Condon and Pitt’s character debate whether creating a car for extreme competition is more important than safety.
Pitt gave Condon the order to build a vehicle optimised for fighting, emphasising the need to outwit competitors on the difficult turns rather than the straightaways. Pitt snaps, “Who mentioned anything about safety?” in response to Condon’s character’s concerns about safety.
The trailer showcases thrilling point-of-view racing shots set to the upbeat beat of Queen’s “We Will Rock You,” hinting at high-octane action and the inherent perils of the sport.
About F1
At the British Grand Prix, Brad Pitt just resumed filming while wearing full racing regalia. For Apple, F1 is a significant undertaking; the project was purchased for between $130 million to $140 million, not including cast fees.
The initiative, which has been collecting film from Formula One tracks across the world for the last two years, was co-produced by seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton. To maintain realism, Hamilton also contributed to the script. The movie is reportedly scheduled for release on June 25, 2025, globally, and on June 27 in the US and Canada the following year.
