F1: The Movie – Where Hollywood Meets the Pinnacle of Motorsport

Fasten your seatbelts—Formula 1 is coming to the big screen like never before. This summer, F1: The Movie is set to redefine what racing films can be, blending the adrenaline-fueled world of Formula 1 with Hollywood storytelling, real-world authenticity, and star-studded performances.

With Brad Pitt behind the wheel, Lewis Hamilton behind the scenes, and Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick) in the director’s chair, F1: The Movie might just be the perfect cinematic lap around the greatest tracks in the world.

🎬 The Plot: A Comeback Story with Speed and Soul

Brad Pitt plays Sonny Hayes, a retired F1 driver from the 1990s who returns to the grid after a devastating crash ended his career prematurely. Teaming up with young prodigy Joshua “Noah” Pearce (played by Damson Idris), Sonny joins the fictional team APXGP as both a mentor and a competitor—pushing himself to the physical and emotional edge.

The story explores themes of redemption, legacy, and competition, giving racing fans more than just roaring engines—it delivers heart.

🏎️ Real Tracks, Real Teams, Real Drama

What sets F1: The Movie apart is its commitment to realism. Filming took place during actual Formula 1 races—including events at Silverstone, Las Vegas, Abu Dhabi, and more. The production even created a real-life F1 car with onboard cameras to capture every detail from inside the cockpit.

This isn’t green screen wizardry—this is the visceral, high-speed reality of Formula 1 brought to life through cutting-edge filmmaking.

🎥 Powered by Hamilton & Kosinski

Seven-time F1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton serves as producer and technical advisor, ensuring that every racing detail is spot-on—from steering feedback to tire degradation. His influence guarantees the movie remains grounded in the real-world physics and psychology of F1.

Director Joseph Kosinski, known for his mastery of motion in Top Gun: Maverick, brings a similar energy here. The use of IMAX cameras, practical effects, and minimal CGI puts the audience right on the tarmac.

🎶 Soundtrack & Score: Music in the Fast Lane

The film’s original score is composed by the legendary Hans Zimmer, whose previous work on Rush proved his talent for elevating racing drama. In addition, a star-studded soundtrack titled F1: The Album features music by Doja Cat, Ed Sheeran, Rosé, Myke Towers, and Tiësto, among others—giving the film both an emotional and sonic pulse.
