Brad Pitt Shifts into High Gear in First Trailer for Racing Drama F1

Start your engines—Brad Pitt is headed to the track. The adrenaline-fueled first trailer for F1, the upcoming racing drama from director Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick), has officially crossed the finish line online, giving fans a high-octane glimpse of what’s in store when the film hits theaters on June 27, 2025.

In F1, Pitt plays a former Formula 1 driver lured out of retirement to mentor a rising young talent while returning to the grid himself. Set against the intense, glamorous world of professional motorsport, the film blends high-speed realism with character-driven storytelling, shot on location during real F1 Grand Prix weekends. The result? A cinematic experience that puts viewers squarely in the driver’s seat.

Produced by Lewis Hamilton, the film boasts unprecedented access to the world of Formula 1, with Pitt and the fictional APXGP team featured alongside real-life F1 teams and drivers. The trailer teases sleek race cars, blistering speed, dramatic rivalries, and a gritty comeback story that goes beyond the checkered flag.

F1 also stars Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, and Tobias Menzies, with a script from Ehren Kruger (Top Gun: Maverick, The Ring). The film is a joint production between Apple Original Films and Warner Bros. Pictures, promising an immersive racing epic that captures both the danger and the dazzle of the sport.

Buckle up—F1 is about to race into theaters next summer.
