In the film, Brad Pitt plays Sonny Hayes, a retired Formula One driver. Years after leaving the sport, he’s asked to return—not to compete, but to guide a young rising star played by Damson Idris. The two team up for a racing team called APXGP, which hasn’t been performing well.

Although their team is not the strongest, Sonny and his young partner push themselves to challenge the top drivers on the track. The movie not only shows races, but also gives us a look at the personal struggles, team spirit, and hard work behind the racing world.

Real Locations, Real Cars

The film also features appearances by some actual F1 drivers and teams, which adds to the excitement—especially for fans of the sport.

Who’s Behind the Film?
‘F1’ is directed by Joseph Kosinski, known for hit movies like ‘Top Gun: Maverick’. The film is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time Formula One champion. Hamilton also helped make sure the racing parts of the movie felt realistic.

What Are People Saying?
Audiences have said the film is full of energy and emotion. Many praised Brad Pitt’s role and the way the story mixes action with drama. Younger fans even said the film made them more interested in watching real Formula One races.
