F1 is a 2025 American sports drama directed by Joseph Kosinski, starring Brad Pitt, Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, and Javier Bardem. The plot follows aging former prodigy Sonny Hayes, who returns after a 30-year hiatus to help his former teammate Rubén Cervantes save the struggling APXGP team, navigating fierce rivalry with ambitious rookie Joshua Pearce. Filmed on real Grand Prix weekends with heavy involvement from the FIA and featuring Lewis Hamilton as a producer, the movie premiered on June 27, 2025, and became the highest-grossing auto racing film of all time, earning over $634 million worldwide against a $200–300 million budget. This monumental success also made it the biggest hit of Pitt's career and Apple's highest-grossing film to date. Critically acclaimed, it secured four Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, and won Best Sound at the Oscars, BAFTAs, and Critics' Choice Awards, cementing its status as a major awards contender.
