'F1: The Movie' brings real racing to the big screen

Entertainment Nov 20, 2025

"F1: The Movie," starring Brad Pitt and Damson Idris, puts you right in the driver's seat with a mix of real racing action and movie magic.
The cast trained with F1 legend Lewis Hamilton, and director Joseph Kosinski filmed on actual Formula One tracks for that extra dose of authenticity.

How they made it feel so real

To capture true F1 vibes, the team turned 12 Formula 2 cars into "almost-F1" machines using Mercedes upgrades—these could hit speeds up to 322km/h.
They even built an electric car just for pit lane scenes.
With help from motorsport experts, the filmmakers worked hard to blend high-speed drama with genuine racing energy, making this a must-watch for fans and newcomers alike.
