Brad Pitt Wraps Filming for F1 Movie

Brad Pitt has been actively involved in filming his upcoming F1 movie, which centers on his character Sonny Hayes, a veteran driver aiming to mentor a rising talent. The production, which has been embedded in the Formula 1 scene for the past two seasons, recently wrapped up filming at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, where Pitt participated in a podium scene that sparked mixed reactions among fans. The film, set for release on June 25, 2025, features a fictional team, APX GP, and has gained authenticity through the involvement of co-producer Lewis Hamilton. Eddy Cue from Apple defended a controversial scene where Pitt's character faints during filming at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, emphasizing that context is key to understanding such moments. Despite the excitement surrounding the movie, some fans criticized the timing of filming during live events, arguing it detracted from the racing experience. Overall, the film is expected to provide a unique glimpse into the high-stakes world of Formula One racing.
