Anticipated like the start of the Monaco Grand Prix – the Formula 1 film starring Brad Pitt has just shifted into another gear. A new trailer has appeared on the official F1 site, providing an even better glimpse into the production that motorsport fans have been talking about for months. And not without reason, as this project has smelled of petrol from the very beginning, then of Hollywood extravagance.
Real track, real emotions, Brad Pitt in a helmet
The film was shot on live Formula 1 tracks, including Silverstone. The track scenes were filmed not only during official Grand Prix weekends but also with the help of a real F1 technical team. What does that mean? That this won’t be typical movie CGI with a green screen, but a wild ride with cameras mounted directly on the car. Pitt plays the role of a former driver who returns to the racing world to help a young talent and an underrated team, “APXGP.” The production is led by Joseph Kosinski, director of “Top Gun: Maverick,” so you can expect frames that will squeeze your stomach.

Apple, F1 and Hollywood – a triple driving force
The film is produced by Apple Original Films, F1, and Brad Pitt's production team – Plan B Entertainment. This not only means a large budget but also an emphasis on authenticity. Already, it is being said that this could be the best motorsport film since Ron Howard's "Rush".
The final trailer just heightens the appetite before the film's premiere, scheduled for 25 June 2025. The production is set to hit the big screens in IMAX cinemas, which means every shot of the car will sound like the roar of a V10 engine just behind you.
