Brad Pitt Stars in Realistic F1 Racing Film

Brad Pitt stars as Sonny Hayes, a former racing star who returns to Formula 1 to save the fictional APXGP team and mentor a young prodigy in the new film 'F1.' Directed by Joseph Kosinski, the film is noted for its realistic racing scenes and classic sports movie themes.

The story explores themes of redemption, mentorship, and personal growth. While the production was praised for its authenticity in racing sequences, details about filming during live races and the use of traditional Indian costume elements were not highlighted. Pitt also shared an anecdote about an embarrassing early career moment during a podcast appearance.
