Brad Pitt’s Formula 1 Movie Receives Positive Early Reviews from F1 Drivers

The highly anticipated Formula 1 film starring Brad Pitt is set for release later this month, bringing Hollywood excitement to the world of motorsport. The movie, produced by Apple and directed by Joseph Kosinski (known for ‘Top Gun: Maverick’), features Pitt as veteran driver Sonny Hayes. Hayes is given another shot at racing by his old friend, APXGP team owner Ruben Cervantes (played by Javier Bardem), who believes his young star driver, Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), needs the mentorship of an experienced racer.

Filming took place at real Grand Prix events, allowing F1 drivers and teams to interact with the cast and even make cameo appearances. Ahead of the public release, a special red-carpet screening was held during the Monaco Grand Prix for drivers and team principals, including Lewis Hamilton. The film was well received by those who attended, with Alpine driver Pierre Gasly expressing enthusiasm for how the movie portrays Formula 1 and its drivers. Gasly praised Brad Pitt’s performance and the overall production quality, hoping that the film will give audiences a genuine glimpse into the world of F1. The project is expected to boost interest in Formula 1 and provide fans and newcomers alike with an engaging cinematic experience.
