Formula 1, Warner Bros., and Apple TV+ have unveiled the final trailer for their much-anticipated movie, F1, starring Brad Pitt. The film, set to release in the U.S. on June 25 and 27, promises an exciting journey into the high-speed world of Formula 1 racing.
Directed by Joseph Kosinski and produced by the legendary Jerry Bruckheimer, along with seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, F1 follows the story of Sonny Hayes (played by Pitt), a seasoned racer making his return to the APX Grand Prix. The film’s two-year production process saw filming at various iconic race locations, adding an authentic touch to its storytelling.
The trailer, lasting 2 minutes and 30 seconds, showcases the rivalry between Sonny Hayes and his young, rookie teammate Joshua Pearce, played by Damson Idris. As the duo competes throughout the race season, tensions rise, hinting at a season filled with personal and professional challenges.
In pursuit of realism, Pitt and Idris were deeply involved in their roles, even joining the actual F1 grid for the formation lap during the 2023 Silverstone race. The trailer also features scenes with four-time world champion Max Verstappen during the pre-race anthem. In addition, it reveals glimpses of filming during the 2024 season, including an intense exchange between Pitt’s character and Formula 1 star Fernando Alonso.
The final trailer highlights some of the most famous F1 circuits, including Las Vegas, Abu Dhabi, Silverstone, and Monza, while offering a preview of thrilling action sequences and fierce rivalries. Although the full plot remains under wraps, it is clear that F1 delves into themes such as sacrifice, obsession, and the often painful consequences of pursuing glory in one of the world’s most demanding sports.
With its star-studded cast, high-octane racing action, and behind-the-scenes access to the F1 world, F1 is quickly shaping up to be a must-see for motorsport fans and moviegoers alike. As the release date draws near, anticipation is building for what promises to be an adrenaline-fueled cinematic experience.
