As eagerly awaited as the start of the Monaco Grand Prix – the Formula 1 movie starring Brad Pitt has just shifted into another gear. A new trailer has appeared on the official F1 website, giving an even better insight into the production that motorsport fans have been talking about for months. And not without reason, because this project has smelled of gasoline from the very beginning, then of Hollywood grandeur.
Real track, real emotions, Brad Pitt in a helmet
The film was shot on actual Formula 1 tracks, including Silverstone. The racing scenes were filmed not only during official Grand Prix weekends but also with the help of a real F1 technical team. What does this mean? That it won't be typical cinematic CGI with a green screen, but rather a wild ride with cameras mounted directly on the car. Pitt plays the role of a former driver who returns to the world of racing to help a young talent and an underrated team "APXGP." The production is led by Joseph Kosinski, the director of "Top Gun: Maverick," so we can expect shots that will take your breath away.

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 means not only a big budget but also an emphasis on authenticity. It is already being said that this could be the best motorsport film since Ron Howard's "Rush".
The final trailer only sharpens the appetite before the premiere of the film, which is scheduled for June 25, 2025. The production is set to hit the big screens in IMAX theaters, which means that every shot of the car will sound like the roar of a V10 engine right behind you.
