🏎️“F1®: The Movie” — Speed, Glory & Redemption on Apple TV+! 🏁

Streaming Date: December 12, 2025

Where to Watch: Exclusively on Apple TV+

🎬 A New Lap Begins — The Race Comes Home

From Apple Original Films and the visionary team behind Top Gun: Maverick comes the high-octane, pulse-pounding feature F1®: The Movie, starring Brad Pitt as the man who dares to race against time — and his own past. Directed by Joseph Kosinski and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, this film isn’t just about speed; it’s about legacy, loss, and the will to reclaim greatness.

The movie will be available to stream exclusively on Apple TV+ starting December 12, marking the digital debut of one of 2025’s most talked-about blockbusters — a cinematic adrenaline rush that had fans roaring in theaters all summer.

🏁 The Story — “The Greatest That Never Was”

Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) was once Formula 1’s brightest star — until an accident nearly ended his career. Decades later, he’s a wandering racer-for-hire, haunted by the ghost of his former glory. But when his old teammate Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem) — now the desperate owner of a failing F1 team — calls him back for one last ride, Sonny must face more than the track.

Racing alongside rising rookie Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), Sonny finds himself torn between redemption and rivalry. As engines roar and egos clash, the road to victory becomes a test of endurance, trust, and the price of greatness.

“You don’t race the car. You race yourself.”

🔧 Behind the Helmet — How It Was Made

Filmed during real Grand Prix weekends across the 2023 and 2024 Formula 1 seasons, F1: The Movie brings a level of authenticity rarely seen in sports cinema. Every roar, every tire screech, every turn — shot in the heart of real F1 circuits.

The production teamed up with the FIA and featured real F1 drivers, including Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc, and Lando Norris, adding an electric realism that makes viewers feel they’re in the driver’s seat.

With cinematography by Claudio Miranda (Top Gun: Maverick) and a score by the legendary Hans Zimmer, this film doesn’t just show you the race — it makes you feel the rush.

🚦 The Cast That Brings the Race to Life

• Brad Pitt as Sonny Hayes, the fallen star, making his comeback

• Damson Idris as Joshua Pearce, the fiery young rival

• Kerry Condon as Kate McKenna, APXGP’s sharp-minded technical director

• Javier Bardem as Ruben Cervantes, the team owner seeking redemption

“In Formula 1, your teammate is your fiercest competition.”

🏎️ Real Speed, Real Stakes

One of the film’s biggest triumphs is its immersive race sequences — blending IMAX-scale cinematography with real F1 cars built specifically for the production. Brad Pitt, at 61, reportedly trained in high-speed racing simulators and performed many of his own driving sequences, pushing authenticity to its limits.

Every crash, corner, and victory lap feels earned — echoing the raw spirit of Rush and Ford v Ferrari, but with a modern, emotional edge.

💥 Critical Acclaim & Box Office Glory

F1: The Movie made waves when it hit theaters in June 2025 — grossing over $628 million worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing racing film in history and Brad Pitt’s most successful film ever. Critics hailed it as “a symphony of speed and soul,” with standout performances and electrifying direction.

Now, Apple TV+ brings this cinematic spectacle home — with exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, bonus interviews, and a director’s commentary from Joseph Kosinski and Lewis Hamilton.
