Filming for the F1 movie took place on weekends at iconic tracks such as Silverstone, Hungary, Spa, Monza, Zandvoort, Japan, Las Vegas, Abu Dhabi, and Mexico City. To authentically integrate the fictional team APXGP into the real-world racing scene, the production team was granted access to an empty garage at each location.

Slated for a June 2025 release, the high-octane F1 film is poised to be a summer blockbuster. Featuring Brad Pitt behind the wheel of a specially modified F2 car, the movie will also include appearances by real-life F1 drivers. The star-studded cast boasts names like Javier Bardem, Tobias Menzies, Kerry Condon, Sarah Niles, and Idris Elba.
