F1: The Movie shows how a returning ex-F1 champion experiences the sport in a different light, further exploring whether he can live up to his past excellence. Sonny Hayes announces his return to F1 as a racer for the Apex Grand Prix team. His old teammate, Ruben Cervantes, owned the team and took Sonny to save his failing racing team.

However, it is not a simple return for Sonny. He has young talent to compete with, a collapsing team to save, and a mark to make in his career. His biggest challenge becomes his young teammate from APX GP, Joshua Pearce. The rookie is an ambitious racer who sees Sonny as a mere old racer getting a second chance in life.

Sonny's journey of facing the impending challenges and giving his best at the tracks is what the film will explore. Brad Pitt plays the protagonist Sonny Hayes, while Damson Idris portrays Joshua Pearce, Javier Bardem and Kerry Condon play Ruben Cervantes, and Kate, respectively. Other cast members include Tobias Menzies, Sarah Niles, Kim Bodnia, Samson Kayo, and more.

The film includes an original score by Hans Zimmer. Ed Sheeran, Doja Cat, Don Toliver, Tate McRae, ROSÉ, Burna Boy, and more have sung for the movie. F1 The Album will release along with the film on June 27, 2025.
