Overview

• F1 casts Brad Pitt as washed-up driver Sonny Hayes alongside Damson Idris as rookie Joshua Pearce, premiering June 25 internationally and June 27 in North America.
• Shot during actual 2023 and 2024 Grands Prix, the film delivers high-octane IMAX sequences that critics say plunge viewers into the driver’s seat.
• Lewis Hamilton served as co-producer and vetted every racing scene to keep the on-screen competition true to the sport’s rules and culture.
• The creative team drew on real-life controversies like the 2008 ‘Crashgate’ scandal to shape dramatic moments that push characters to the edge of fair play.
• Pitt and Idris completed two years of intensive F1 training and performed most of their own stunts, with Idris calling the experience so exhilarating he now seeks real racing beyond the movie.
