Official poster of ‘F1’
Brad Pitt’s Formula 1 movie, due in theaters next year, will be called simply “F1,” the racing series said Friday.
Seven-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton is the co-producer of the project, who gathered footage from numerous F1 circuits around the world this year and last year.
Footage taken at Silverstone – home of the British Grand Prix – and the Hungaroring near Budapest; as well as the historic Spa Francorchamps in Belgium; Japan’s popular Suzuka track and Abu Dhabi’s Yas Marina Circuit.
Pitt plays a former driver who returns to Formula 1 with a new partner, played by London-born actor Damson Idris. Their fictional F1 team is called APXGP.
The film is directed by Joseph Kosinski of “Top Gun: Maverick” fame.
Formula 1 said in a statement that the film will be released in June next year.
