The Apple Original movie about Formula 1 racing and starring Brad Pitt now has a name. Unsurprisingly, it's called "F1."
Apple has been working on a film based on the motor sport Formula 1 for a few years. While there's a lot already known about the movie, there wasn't an official title for it until Friday.
Confirmed by the official account of Formula 1 on X, the film is teased under the name "F1," the commonly-used shorthand for the racing series. The tweet also confirms Brad Pitt as its star.
A teaser image states that it will be hitting theaters in Summer 2025, and that it has been filmed for Imax. Apple previously announced that the film would be released globally on June 27, 2025.
It is unknown when it will arrive on Apple TV+, but it is likely after the theatrical release.
Finally, official.

Pitt stars as a former driver returning to Formula 1, alongside Damson Idris as his teammate. The cast also includes Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, Tobias Menzies, Sarah Niles, Kim Bodnia, and Samson Kayo.
Unusually for a movie production, it was filmed during actual Grand Prix weekends, with real-world teams competing.
Joseph Kosinski is directing and producing the film alongside Jerry Bruckheimer and Chad Oman for Jerry Bruckheimer Films, Pitt, Dede Garner and Jeremy Kleiner for Plan B, and seven-time F1 world champion Lewis Hamilton for Dawn Apollo Films.
Formula 1 collaborated on the film with Apple Original Films and Warner Bros.

Joseph Kosinski gives me hope it’ll be fun and cool.
Jerry Bruckheimer…hmm. Let’s watch it, and then watch “Rush”, again.
The vast amount of general public cannot relate to F1 racing. F1 is for millionaires and multi millionaires. Whereas the general public has played many of the most popular sports, F1 is in some other dimension with its multi million dollar cars and ultra exclusive atmosphere.
Also, When you see those races on tv, are they really that interesting? I don’t think so. Except
for the Monaco location and track, are they really that interesting? They could be great to watch in person assuming you don’t mind dropping a couple thousand dollars for tickets and travel. I’ve seen IMSA races and other things on tv that compete well with F1. The IMSA cars are arguably nicer looking.
