Storyline:
Sonny Hayes, a Formula One driver who raced in the 1990s, has a horrible crash, forcing him to retire from Formula One and start racing in other disciplines. A Formula One team owner and friend contacts Hayes and asks him to come out of retirement to mentor rookie prodigy Joshua Pearce for the Apex Grand Prix team (APXGP).
About F1 Movie:
On December 3, 2021, a bidding war commenced for an untitled film starring Brad Pitt, with Jerry Bruckheimer producing, Joseph Kosinski directing, and Ehren Kruger writing the screenplay, all of whom had previously worked on Top Gun: Maverick.
Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton was also involved in the project. Competing studios and streamers included Paramount Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Sony Pictures, Universal Pictures, Walt Disney Pictures, Netflix, Apple, and Amazon MGM Studios. Brad Pitt received $30 million for his role.
In November 2022, Claudio Miranda was announced as the film’s cinematographer. Damson Idris was hired in April 2023, following an extensive casting process. Kerry Condon and Tobias Menzies joined the cast shortly after, along with Sarah Niles and Simone Ashley.
Before filming, Pitt and Idris tested Formula Three and Formula Two cars at the Circuit Paul Ricard in France. Principal photography began in July 2023 at the Silverstone Circuit during the 2023 British Grand Prix weekend. Pitt drove a modified Formula 2 car with a Formula One aero-package, created in collaboration with the Mercedes-AMG F1 team and Carlin Motorsport, though not in an official F1 session.
Filming locations included the Hungaroring, Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Monza Circuit, Circuit Zandvoort, Suzuka International Racing Course, Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, Las Vegas Strip Circuit, Yas Marina Circuit, and the 2024 24 Hours of Daytona. The #120 Wright Motorsports Porsche 911 GT3 R competed carrying cameras, featuring a livery from the film.
At the 2023 British Grand Prix, Pitt confirmed that Javier Bardem would star in the film. Although ESPN initially reported the title as Apex, it was later retracted. On July 5, 2024, the title F1 was officially announced, with a teaser trailer premiering before the 2024 British Grand Prix.
In May 2024, Puck’s Matthew Belloni reported the film’s budget to be $300 million. Bruckheimer and Kosinski refuted the claim, noting that rebates and sponsorships significantly reduced the budget. Kosinski commented on the discrepancy, expressing uncertainty about the source of the reported figure.
F1 Release Date:
In June 2022, Apple acquired distribution rights in a package deal worth $130–140 million before above-the-line compensation. In June 2024, Warner Bros. Pictures acquired the theatrical, home entertainment and digital purchase distribution rights from Apple, with the film currently scheduled to be released in the IMAX format internationally on June 25, 2025, and domestically on June 27, 2025. Apple retains SVOD rights. It will become available on Apple TV+ at a later date.
