Dubbed "the greatest that never was," Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) was FORMULA 1's most promising phenom of the 1990s until an accident on the track nearly ended his career. Thirty years later, he's a nomadic racer-for-hire when he's approached by his former teammate Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), owner of a struggling FORMULA 1 team that is on the verge of collapse. Ruben convinces Sonny to come back to FORMULA 1 for one last shot at saving the team and being the best in the world. He'll drive alongside Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), the team's hotshot rookie intent on setting his own pace. But as the engines roar, Sonny's past catches up with him and he finds that in FORMULA 1, your teammate is your fiercest competition--and the road to redemption is not something you can travel alone.

Wendy Ide Observer (UK) The cars may be the stars, but the camera team, led by Top Gun: Maverick cinematographer Claudio Miranda, are the wizards who keep the wheels turning. Oct 7, 2025 Full Review Sergio Burstein Los Angeles Times Kosinski has done things so well that he's managed to break down my—until now—impregnable defenses. [Full review in Spanish] Aug 12, 2025 Full Review Dwight Brown DwightBrownInk.com F1: The Movie has the formula for success. It’s got the fuel. Cruise must be smiling as Pitt takes the checkered flag. Rated: 3/4 Jul 24, 2025 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy F1 adds another one to the Formula One win column. Rated: 3/4 Oct 18, 2025 Full Review Jeff Beck The Blu Spot F1: The Movie is a well-made racing film, featuring impeccable driving scenes and fine performances all around, but which is sadly lacking in its human element. Rated: 3/5 Oct 9, 2025 Full Review Sarah Gopaul Digital Journal The efforts to make the races realistic are beyond successful, mimicking live F1 coverage so there’s almost no difference between reality and fantasy.
