Brad Pitt's Formula 1 Film Promises Authentic Racing Action

The upcoming movie, co-produced by Lewis Hamilton and directed by Joseph Kosinski, blends high-speed realism with a compelling underdog story.

The film, titled 'F1,' stars Brad Pitt as a veteran Formula One driver mentoring a rising talent, played by Damson Idris, with a release date set for June 25, 2025.
Directed by Joseph Kosinski and co-produced by seven-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton, the movie aims to deliver unprecedented authenticity by filming on real Grand Prix tracks during live events.
Brad Pitt and Damson Idris trained extensively to drive modified Formula 2 cars equipped with cameras, reaching speeds over 180 mph during live filming sessions.
Hamilton played a key role in ensuring the film accurately portrays the physical and technical demands of Formula One, down to gear shifts and driver exhaustion.
With a reported production budget exceeding $300 million, the film faces high expectations to match or surpass the success of previous racing films like 'Rush.'
