F1 is a 2025 American sports drama directed by Joseph Kosinski and starring Brad Pitt as Sonny Hayes, a retired Formula One legend who returns to racing to help save his former teammate’s underdog team, APXGP. Co-starring Damson Idris, Javier Bardem, and Kerry Condon, the film blends high-speed drama with real F1 action, filmed during actual Grand Prix weekends with support from the FIA and producer Lewis Hamilton.
As Sonny mentors young rookie Joshua Pearce, the two navigate rivalries, pressure, and redemption on and off the track. Packed with intense race sequences and emotional stakes, F1 is a gripping comeback story set in the heart of motorsport.
Released by Warner Bros. Pictures on June 27, 2025, F1 received positive reviews and grossed over $397 million worldwide.
