Brad Pitt's F1 Film Praised by F1 Drivers

Brad Pitt's highly anticipated Formula 1 movie, directed by Joseph Kosinski and co-produced by Lewis Hamilton, received enthusiastic praise from F1 drivers after an exclusive pre-release screening at the Monaco Grand Prix. The film stars Pitt as a veteran racer making a dramatic comeback, alongside Damson Idris and Javier Bardem, and was shot at real Grand Prix events, including extensive scenes in Abu Dhabi. Williams’ Carlos Sainz and Haas’ Oliver Bearman highlighted the film's striking realism and its potential to attract new fans to the sport. The regional premiere will take place in Abu Dhabi on June 25, 2025, with global releases to follow. Lewis Hamilton’s active involvement was credited with ensuring technical authenticity and an insider’s perspective. The project is expected to broaden F1’s appeal, similar to the impact of Netflix's 'Drive to Survive.'
