Brad Pitt's F1 Movie Debuts June 27, 2025

Brad Pitt stars as Sonny Hayes, a former F1 driver making a comeback in Joseph Kosinski's film 'F1,' which features real racing footage shot during Grand Prix weekends and unprecedented access to genuine F1 teams and drivers. Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and F1 star Lewis Hamilton—who ensured the movie’s authenticity—Pitt and co-star Damson Idris drive real race cars and interact with the sport’s elite. Hayes joins the struggling APXGP team, where he mentors Joshua Pearce, a talented new driver, as both face high pressure to secure the team's survival and their careers. Hamilton praised Pitt's driving skills and worked closely on the film to accurately depict the challenges and teamwork behind F1 racing. An F1 25 video game tie-in allows fans to experience Hayes' journey through interactive gameplay. The movie is set to premiere June 27, 2025, and is expected to further boost F1’s profile in the US.
