F1 is a 2025 sports drama film directed by Joseph Kosinski. It stars Brad Pitt, Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, Sarah Niles, and Javier Bardem.
The film follows Sonny Hayes (Pitt), a Formula One driver who raced in The '90s until a horrible crash forced him to retire from Formula One and start racing in other disciplines. However, in the modern era of F1, Hayes is contacted by the Apex Grand Prix team (APXGP), owned by a close friend (Bardem), who asks him to come out of retirement to mentor rookie prodigy Joshua Pearce (Idris) and hopefully rejuvenate the struggling team's standing in the championship.
The film will premiere internationally June 25, 2025 and in the United States June 27 before streaming exclusively on Apple TV+ at an unknown date.
Tropes featured in F1 include:
- Logo Gag: The Warner Brothers logo is pitch black and back lit in the trailer.
- Product Placement: A race car in the trailer has sponsor logos for EA Sports and Geico.
- Repurposed Pop Song: The teaser is set to “We Will Rock You” by Queen.
- Vehicular Combat: In the trailer, Pitt’s character discusses building his car for “combat”.
