F1 star Lewis Hamilton lends F1 authenticity and hella connections. According to Variety, the film shot during actual F1 events like British Grand Prix, the Rolex 24 at Daytona, and more. Hamilton helped write the script, and is producing alongside star Brad Pitt. The teaser for F1 shows Pitt as Sonny Hayes, a former F1 driver returning to the sport. He mentors Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris). Kerry Condon plays the woman urging caution in the boy-go-fast sport of F1 racing. The Penelope Cruz in Ferrari, if you will. F1 is directed by Top Gun: Maverick’s Joseph Kosinski. It comes out internationally on June 25, 2025 and in North America on June 27, 2025.
