Formula 1 debuts an unprecedented spectacle for spectators: Concurrent racing with authentic drivers
Ready for a high-octane adventure? The highly-anticipated movie, "F1 The Movie," is about to take the world by storm! Starring the legendary Formula 1 racer Lewis Hamilton and Hollywood heartthrob Brad Pitt, this epic film promises something never seen before – an authentic big-budget production that blends real-life F1 superstars with a thrilling narrative!
"Working with Brad was a blast," Lewis Hamilton shared at a pre-Canadian Grand Prix media briefing. "He had a knack for racing and a decent driving line. It wasn't completely foreign to him, since I used to be a driver coach as a kid, and I encountered some pretty subpar drivers along the way!"
With its roots deeply ensconced in the action-packed world of Formula 1, "F1 The Movie" offers a breathtaking mix of on-track excitement and off-track drama, filmed right alongside racing weekends. Featuring star-studded celebrities like Brad Pitt, Javier Bardem, and Kerry Condon, the movie offers a heart-pounding tale of adventure, betrayal, and the never-ending pursuit of glory!
Produced by Lewis Hamilton and Jerry Bruckheimer, directed by Joseph Kosinski, and boasting a captivating score by Hans Zimmer, "F1 The Movie" is poised to be the cinematic event of the year. The story revolves around the character Sonny Hayes, played by the enigmatic Brad Pitt, who had a tragic crash that cut his promising F1 career short in the 1990s. Now, decades later, Sonny makes an unexpected comeback with a failing racing team in a desperate bid to save their sinking ship.
Sonny's polarizing character embodies the spirit of real-life racing legends Max Verstappen and James Hunt, putting his racing intelligence and rule-bending tactics to good use. His co-driver, a young rookie thirsty for success, is portrayed by Damson Idris, who is struggling to prove himself in a car that can't compete for wins. The team is on the brink of collapse if they can't turn things around quickly.
As F1 executives seek to penetrate the U.S. market, the movie promises to bring the international series closer to home. "We're thrilled to bring Formula 1 to the big screen in a way that'll be accessible and exciting to both racing newbies and die-hard fans alike," producer Jerry Bruckheimer said.
In addition to its thrilling plot, "F1 The Movie" also showcases stunning on-track visuals, strategic scheming, and, of course, numerous crashes – some even explosive! And because it's Hollywood, don't forget the romantic subplot between Sonny and his techie love interest, expertly portrayed by Kerry Condon.
Filmed alongside real F1 drivers and racing weekends, the movie offers a level of authenticity unparalleled in Formula 1 cinema. But, as with any Hollywood venture, you can expect to see some creative liberties taken to make the story appealing to a wider audience.
So buckle up, grab some popcorn, and get ready for a wild ride! "F1 The Movie" comes roaring into theaters June 27th – are you prepared to embrace the chaos of Formula 1 racing like never before?

Executive produced by Lewis Hamilton and Jerry Bruckheimer, this film features an ensemble cast of celebrities like Brad Pitt, Javier Bardem, and Kerry Condon, promising a heart-racing tale backed by the glamour and thrill of Formula 1 racing.
