What is the Release Date for F1?

Warner. Bros Pictures has confirmed F1 will be released internationally on June 25, 2025.

However, you’ll need to wait two days longer if you live in the United States or Canada, as it won’t arrive in movie theaters until June 27, 2025, and is scheduled two days before the 2025 Austrian Grand Prix.

What’s the Plot?

After a horrible crash during a race in the 1990s, Sonny Hayes, a professional Formula 1 driver, is forced into retirement, embracing alternative racing competitions.

However, a Formula One team later contacts him, requesting he come out of retirement to mentor upcoming talent Joshua Pearce and support the Apex Grand Prix team.

Who Stars in the Film?

Brad Pitt (Fight Club) stars as F1 driver Sonny Hayes, and Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men) plays his friend, Ruben, who asks him to come out of retirement.

Damson Idris (Outside the Wire) plays the talented prodigy Joshua “Noah” Pearce, Kerry Condon (Better Call Saul) plays Kate, and Tobias Menzies (The Crown) is Banning.

Also appearing in the movie are Kim Bodnia (The Bridge), Shea Whigham (Boardwalk Empire), Joseph Balderrama (Heartstopper), Samson Kayo (Bloods), Sarah Niles (The Sandman), Layne Harper, and Callie Cooke (Cheaters).

Will Any F1 Drivers Appear in the Film?

Yes. The following 13 Formula One drivers will appear as themselves in the F1 movie:

• Lewis Hamilton
• Max Verstappen
• Lando Norris
• Carlos Sainz Jr.
• Esteban Ocon
• George Russell
• Nico Hülkenberg
• Sergio Pérez
• Charles Leclerc
• Fernando Alonso
• Pierre Gasly
• Valtteri Bottas
• Oscar Piastri

Who Directed It?

Joseph Kosinski directed F1. He is best known for directing Tron: Legacy (2010), Only the Brave (2017), and Top Gun: Maverick (2022).

Who Wrote the Screenplay?

Ehren Kruger wrote the F1 screenplay. The US screenwriter is best known for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009), Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011), and Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014).

What’s more, he wrote the US version of The Ring (2002) and The Ring Two (2005) and co-wrote Top Gun: Maverick (2022).

Can I Watch an Official Trailer?

Yes, you can watch the official trailer for F1 on YouTube, as well as a teaser trailer.

How Much is F1 Expected to Make?

It cost an eye-watering $300 million to make F1, suggesting Warner Bros. Pictures has high expectations for its box office performance.

However, racing movies don’t tend to perform well on the silver screen, as Rush (2013), Ford vs. Ferrari (2019), and Ferrari (2023) enjoyed moderate success at the box office.

As the flick features many famous faces and guest appearances from many Formula One drivers, it might encourage sports fans to visit their local movie theaters to watch it.

Due to the film’s huge budget, it would have to earn a billion dollars or close to it to be deemed a box office smash.

If you believe F1 will be the highest-grossing film of 2025, you could win $5000 by betting $100 at 1xBet if it happens.
