Promising to “immerse viewers in the exhilarating and cinematic world of F1®,” the film features Brad Pitt as a former driver making a comeback and Damson Idris as his teammate at APXGP – a fictional 11th team on the grid.

Filming will continue at this summer’s British Grand Prix and several other races before concluding at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in December.
