Apple Original Films and Formula 1 have released a joint statement revealing the release date and plot summary of their new F1 movie directed by Top Gun: Maverick director Joseph Kosinski, and starring Brad Pitt and Damson Idris.
Lewis Hamilton’s production company Dawn Apollo Films is involved in the film’s production, and Lewis himself is acting as a consultant.
The movie’s international release date is 25 June 2025, while in North America it will be released two days later.
“The movie is a landmark for the sport and cinema, filmed in real-time during grands prix around the world and involving the Formula 1 community, including all 10 teams, the drivers, the FIA and race promoters,” the statement said.

“The new feature film is set in the exhilarating and cinematic world of Formula 1 and will immerse audiences in the spectacle of the most popular annual sports series, celebrating the skill and heroism of the drivers while showcasing the incredible challenge of competition in Formula 1.
“The feature will see Brad Pitt star as a former driver who returns to Formula 1, alongside Damson Idris as his rookie team-mate at APXGP, a fictional team on the grid, battling against the sport’s drivers and teams.
“Production of the movie, which began in 2023, will continue at this year’s British Grand Prix and at several other races, and complete at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in December,” the statement concluded.
Lewis has recently shared his thoughts on the movie, while appearing on the YouTube show ‘Hot Ones’.
“Racing movies, I feel like it’s very, very hard to capture them,” the Briton said.
“You know, each year you have to do filming, you’re following a truck that has a camera on the back, so it’s hard to catch that capture the speed.
“You know, you can’t have a truck following filming us at 200 miles an hour, so it’s all kind of faked at a slower speed and they speed it up. But this is all real-time, real speed.
“I think if you go back to like Steve McQueen, for example, back then they would have men laying on the front of the car with the camera, you know, like, or have a big camera on top of the helmet, where now we’ve got all this amazing new technology.
“So I feel like Joe [Kosinski] honestly, I think he’s going to blow people away,” Hamilton concluded.
