F1 Movie Trailer Ignites Excitement with Brad Pitt's High-Octane Return

The final trailer for F1, the new Formula One movie starring Brad Pitt, hit the internet on May 12, 2025, and it’s got everyone buzzing. Directed by Joseph Kosinski, the guy behind Top Gun: Maverick, this nearly three-minute clip is packed with heart-racing action that feels like Top Gun on wheels. Pitt plays Sonny Hayes, a retired F1 driver roaring back to the track with the made-up APXGP team. The movie’s set to zoom into theaters worldwide on June 25 and in North America on June 27, and it’s already shaping up to be a wild ride.

The trailer shows Pitt tearing up the track, with real F1 stars like Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez making appearances, giving it a legit racing vibe. Damson Idris plays Joshua Pearce, a young driver learning the ropes from Hayes, and the cast—Javier Bardem, Kerry Condon, and Tobias Menzies—brings some serious drama. Fans are losing it over the trailer’s energy, with slick camera work and high-speed shots that make you feel like you’re in the driver’s seat. Kosinski used cutting-edge tech, including cameras built with Mercedes, to capture every pulse-pounding moment.

Social media’s on fire, with fans calling Pitt a total boss and the trailer a “must-see.” Director Siddharth Anand posted “Wow!” on X, and others are saying this could be the racing movie to beat. The soundtrack, with BLACKPINK’s Rosé singing Messy plus tracks from Doja Cat and Ed Sheeran, cranks up the hype even more.

With Jerry Bruckheimer, Pitt, and F1 champ Lewis Hamilton producing, F1 mixes real race footage with a story about making a comeback. Actress Kerry Condon says it’ll feel like you’re riding along. After years of delays, the film’s finally ready to burn rubber, and with Pitt leading the charge, it’s gearing up to be a box office champ.
