Brad Pitt F1 Movie Set for June 2025 Release; Lewis Hamilton Attached as Co-Producer

A movie about Formula One racing starring Brad Pitt is in production and set for a June 2025 release.

According to Sky Sports, the untitled movie is being made by Apple Original Films, and legendary F1 driver Lewis Hamilton is serving as a co-producer.

Additionally, the film is being directed by Joseph Kosinski and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, which is the same duo that teamed up for critically acclaimed Top Gun: Maverick movie.

Apple and Formula One released a joint statement Tuesday, confirming that the movie will be released internationally on June 25, 2025, and two days later on June 27, 2025, in North America.

The statement also provided more details, including information regarding F1's involvement in the movie:

"The movie is a landmark for the sport and cinema, filmed in real-time during grands prix around the world and involving the Formula One community, including all 10 teams, the drivers, the FIA and race promoters.

"The new feature film is set in the exhilarating and cinematic world of Formula One and will immerse audiences in the spectacle of the most popular annual sports series, celebrating the skill and heroism of the drivers while showcasing the incredible challenge of competition in Formula One."

The film also "will see Brad Pitt star as a former driver who returns to Formula One, alongside Damson Idris as his rookie team-mate at APXGP, a fictional team on the grid, battling against the sport's drivers and teams."

Pitt and Idris attended multiple F1 races in 2023 to partake in filming, and the filming will continue at multiple races this season, including the British Grand Prix and Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Hamilton's involvement in the movie figures to aid significantly in ensuring that it provides fans with a realistic F1 experience.

The 39-year-old veteran is among the greatest F1 drivers of all time, as he is first on the all-time list with 103 race wins, and tied with Michael Schumacher for the most career driver championships with seven.
