F1 the Movie, an 2025 sports drama directed by Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick) and produced in collaboration with Formula 1, this adrenaline-pumping film dives deep into the high-stakes world of F1 racing. With a soundtrack that’s pure fire, F1 is set to dominate theaters and IMAX screens on June 25, 2025, internationally, and June 27, 2025, in the US and Canada. Let’s break down everything you need to know about the F1 movie, from its heart-pounding plot to its cast and electrifying music.
Tracklist
It’s about Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt), a former Formula 1 driver who was the sport’s golden boy in the 1990s until a devastating crash derailed his career. Now a nomadic racer-for-hire, Sonny’s living out of a van, haunted by his past and far from the glitz of F1 glory. Enter Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), the owner of the struggling fictional APXGP team, who’s desperate to save his team from collapse. Ruben recruits Sonny as a last-ditch effort, pairing him with Joshua “Noah” Pearce (Damson Idris), a cocky rookie with raw talent and a need for guidance.
The story is a classic underdog tale with a twist: Sonny and Joshua’s mentor-mentee dynamic quickly turns into a fierce rivalry. As they race against real-life F1 teams, the stakes skyrocket, with high-speed action with personal redemption. Filmed at iconic circuits like Silverstone, Monza, and Yas Marina, F1 captures the intensity of the sport with modified F2 cars designed by Mercedes-AMG to look like the real deal.
Cast: Brad Pitt as Sonny Hayes, Damson Idris as Joshua Pearce, Javier Bardem as Ruben Cervantes, Kerry Condon as Kate McKenna, Tobias Menzies as Banning.
No racing movie is complete without a soundtrack that matches its intensity, and F1 The Album delivers in spades. Curated by Atlantic Records’ Kevin Weaver (the genius behind Barbie: The Album), this 17-track masterpiece drops on June 27, 2025, alongside the film. With a lineup of global superstars, it’s a high-RPM joyride that captures the pulse of F1.

Adding to the film’s musical credibility is the involvement of Hans Zimmer, who composed the original score. This marks Zimmer’s second collaboration with director Joseph Kosinski after their successful partnership on “Top Gun: Maverick.” Interestingly, Zimmer previously scored “Rush” (2013), another acclaimed Formula 1 film, bringing his expertise in motorsport storytelling full circle.
F1 is set to hit theaters internationally on June 25, 2025, just ahead of the Austrian Grand Prix, followed by the North American release on June 27, 2025. The film carries a PG-13 rating for strong language and action sequences.
