In case you didn’t know, Brad Pitt is making a movie about Formula 1… called F1. Obviously. In it, Pitt will play a veteran driver whose primary goal is to build a car that’ll put the likes of Red Bull, Ferrari, and Mercedes to the sword.
A new trailer has dropped, and it certainly looks the part. It begins with one of the few bits of actual dialogue in the whole trailer, where Pitt discusses how his car’s lack of speed on the straights will be ‘combated’ by the twisty things in between. Good thinking, that.

It then continues to the ‘We Will Rock You’ phase, which strings together a sequence of stunning race visuals and a light introduction to some of the big names that’ll feature, including Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, and Damson Idris.

Oh, Lewis Hamilton also has a cameo role to play at some point—given that he’s formed part of the cast list—as will (seemingly) most of the actual Formula 1 grid, with Max Verstappen, Sergio Perez, and Fernando Alonso among those spotted around the 51-second mark.
The trailer also previews several POV driving shots, similar to those we see in actual Formula 1—and one such shot takes you right through Spa-Francorchamps’ Eau Rouge. At full chat. Nice.
As exciting as all this looks (and sounds), we’ve still got around a year to wait until F1 even releases on June 25, 2025. Think it’ll be worth the wait?
