Get ready, racing fans! The excitement is building as Apple reveals the official title and first teaser for its highly anticipated Formula 1 movie. Simply called ‘F1’, this cinematic thrill ride will have you on the edge of your seat.
The film, set to hit theaters in 2025, stars none other than Brad Pitt as a former F1 star making a dramatic comeback to compete for the fictional APXGP team. He’s joined by Damson Idris, playing a rookie driver. With a star-studded cast including Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, Tobias Menzies, Sarah Niles, Kim Bodnia, and Samson Kayo, the movie is sure to be a hit.
Adding to the film’s authenticity, seven-time F1 world champion Lewis Hamilton is on board as a producer. Not only is he bringing his expertise to the production, but he’s also contributing to the script, ensuring that the racing scenes are as thrilling as can be.
The powerhouse team behind ‘F1’ includes director Joseph Kosinski, known for ‘Top Gun Maverick’, and producer Jerry Bruckheimer. Despite delays caused by Hollywood’s SAG-AFTRA strikes last year, the film is back on track and will premiere internationally on July 25, 2025, followed by a US release on July 27, 2025.
Filming has been full throttle, with scenes being shot at iconic locations like the British Grand Prix at Silverstone. The production uses a modified Formula 2 car decked out in APXGP colors, adding to the movie’s authentic vibe. The crew has set up branded pitlane garages, making the fictional team feel like a real contender.
The cameras have captured high-speed action at other famous tracks this year, including the Hungaroring, Spa-Francorchamps, Mexico City, Las Vegas, and Abu Dhabi. While reports suggest the budget has blown past $300 million due to Hollywood strikes, the producers have disputed this figure, keeping fans guessing.
Meanwhile, the anticipation for the teaser is mounting. Set to drop on Sunday, July 7, it promises to give fans their first glimpse of what to expect from this adrenaline-pumping movie.
With a stellar cast, authentic racing scenes, and the backing of F1 legend Lewis Hamilton, ‘F1’ promises to be a blockbuster you won’t want to miss. Mark your calendars for July 2025!
