Brad Pitt in Formula 1: A comeback that makes the hearts beat faster!

New York City, USA - On June 27, 2025, the highly excited film "F1" with Brad Pitt celebrates its official publication in the Austrian cinemas in the leading role. The film, which was staged by Joseph Kosinski, tells the story of Sonny Hayes, a failed racing driver who dares to take a comeback in Formula 1 after being recruited by his former team -mate Ruben Cervantes, played by Javier Bardem. The plot follows the classic pattern of a sports film and addresses Hayes' inner battles, including self -doubt and adaptation to modern racing technology.

The filming for "F1" took place during the 2023 and 2024 season at real Formula 1 scenes, with Brad Pitt and co-star Damson Idris to do compact driving training. The film offers authentic racing scenes and shows guests such as Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc and Fernando Alonso in cameo roles. Kosinski wants the audience to have the feeling of being in the middle of the Formula 1 circus, and the presentation of the Formula 1 business and the challenges for Hayes is already being rated as convincing.

growing enthusiasm for Formula 1

"F1" could also be important for Formula 1 sports itself, especially with regard to the growing interest of the American viewers. According to reports from Hollywood Reporter, Formula 1 is looking for ways to expand its commitment in the US market. Cooperation with Brad Pitt is seen as a potential catalyst to win new fans.

Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali has recognized the lack of connection to American fans in the past and emphasizes the need for a new strategy to promote sport. Formula 1 could help the upcoming cinematic implementation to increase their visibility and popularity, similar to other large sports films that inspired their respective sports.

film production and expectations

"F1" has invested a lot in production: the budget was reportedly between $ 200 and $ 300 million, and Brad Pitt received $ 30 million for his role. The film was shot during the ongoing Formula 1 season, which ensures high authenticity. Reviews already indicate a positive recording, with an 84%approval rating on rotten tomatoes and 68 points on Metacritic.

Partnerships with brands such as Heineken and McDonald’s strengthen the advertising measures and are intended to further increase the interest in viewers.

Overall, "F1" is described as an entertaining, albeit predictable sporting narrative, which the audience is supposed to captivate both in the cinema chair and on the racetrack.
