Formula 1 has presented the final trailer for the long-awaited film about the competition, starring Brad Pitt. The film includes scenes filmed in various races over the past two years.
The F1 movie, whose international release is scheduled for June 25 and June 27 in the United States, follows Sonny Hayes, Pitt’s character, a veteran driver who returns to the fictional APX GP team.
The film, directed by Joseph Kosinski, director of Top Gun Maverick, and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, has had the collaboration of the seven-time world champion, Lewis Hamilton.
Pitt shares the spotlight with Damson Idris, who plays Joshua Pearce, Hayes’s young teammate.
The trailer, with a duration of nearly 2 minutes and 30 seconds, intensifies the internal conflict between Hayes and Pearce throughout the season.
Includes a contact between both drivers at Silverstone, where the F1 film was shot, participating in numerous days of filming at the circuit and joining the real F1 grid on the formation lap before the 2023 race.
Both Pitt and Idris participated in the pre-race anthem in 2023, along with Max Verstappen, a scene that is included in the trailer.
Pitt was also filming at the grid before the 2024 edition, in addition to recording a scene that included an interaction with Fernando Alonso in the press area after the race.
The trailer also shows scenes filmed at the Las Vegas, Abu Dhabi, and Monza circuits.
The McLaren Technology Centre in Woking, home to McLaren, a constructors’ champion team, also appears as the base of APX GP.
The new trailer highlights the presence of Kerry Condon, who plays the team director, Kate McKenna.
A voice-over from McKenna is heard as she conveys to Hayes the values of teamwork and reprimands him for his selfish approach in his comeback.
