Introduction – F1 Movie
If you’re Gen Z, there’s a good chance you’ve caught the F1 fever. In India especially, Formula 1 is gaining major traction among the younger crowd. With Netflix’s Drive to Survive and thrilling live races, F1 is now one of the coolest sports out there. And just when the hype was peaking
Here comes Brad Pitt with a brand-new F1 movie directed by Joseph Kosinski (best known for Top Gun: Maverick), that has racing fans talking.
Movie Name: F1
IMDb Rating: 7.6/10 (for now)
Star Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Release Date: June 25, 2025
Cast: Brad Pitt, Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, Tobias Menzies.
Plot-
The movie follows Sonny Hayes (played by Brad Pitt), a former F1 driver who had a career-ending crash years ago. Everyone thought his time on the track was over—until he made an unexpected comeback.
But there’s a twist: he’s no longer the star. He returns to mentor a young driver, Joshua Pearce, and joins a fictional F1 team called APX GP—the worst team on the grid.
The story focuses on Sonny trying to prove he still has what it takes, both as a mentor and maybe even as a racer. Together, they try to lift the team from the bottom and earn respect in the world of F1 again.
It’s a fictional story, but it’s set in the real world of Formula 1
