Brad Pitt is ready to hit the racing tracks in his new F1 movie, aptly titled ‘F1’, which is set to reveal its first teaser trailer shortly before the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
With the accelerating popularity of Formula 1 racing, thanks to the surge brought by Liberty Media and the Netflix docuseries ‘Drive to Survive’, fans are in for a captivating cinematic experience. Brad Pitt enthusiasts can look forward to seeing him take on the role of Sonny Hayes, a fictional driver who makes a comeback with the fictional APXGP team.
The movie, floating around rumors for a while, boasts an impressive production team which includes none other than seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton. Hamilton’s involvement goes beyond just lending his name to the project; he aims to bring authenticity to the racing scenes, as he shared in an interview with GQ Magazine. “My job is to try to call BS,” he said, emphasizing the importance of realistic portrayals. Hamilton is particularly keen on bridging the old and new F1 fan generations, ensuring the movie resonates with broad audiences.
Scheduled for an international release on June 25, 2025, and in North America two days later, ‘F1′ is gearing up to be a blockbuster. As filming continues in Silverstone and other iconic tracks, the movie promises to capture the high-octane spirit of the racing world. Supporting Pitt are Damson Idris as Hayes’ teammate, along with a star-studded cast including Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, and others.
Fans eagerly await the teaser release, which will be broadcasted on the Formula 1 world television feed just minutes before the Silverstone race begins. This strategic timing will certainly add to the anticipation surrounding the race day. Meanwhile, as filming proceeds at full throttle, Hamilton continues to play a pivotal role, committed to depicting the true essence of racing.
‘F1’ is poised to be a thrilling cinematic spectacle that merges the adrenaline of Formula 1 racing with the gravitas of its star-studded cast. With both long-time racing fans and newcomers ready to grab popcorn, the film is set to offer a powerful glimpse into the legendary world of F1 racing.
