With its roaring engines, intense characters and immersive approach to F1 and speed, Joseph Kosinski's film is already furiously reminiscent of the sensations we felt with Top Gun: Maverick. And for its director, the desire to make generous and entertaining cinema.

The new official synopsis states: Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) was the most promising phenomenon in F1 in the 90s, until his terrible accident. Thirty years later, having become an independent driver, he is contacted by his former teammate Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), boss of an F1 team on the verge of bankruptcy. Ruben convinces Sonny to make a comeback on the circuit to try to save the team and prove that he is the best driver in the world. Sonny will be teammate Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), a rough diamond without limits, determined to establish himself as number 1. But very quickly, Sonny is caught up by his past. He then discovers that in Formula 1, his teammate is also his most formidable rival, that danger is everywhere, and that he could lose his life.
F1 is directed by Joseph Kosinski, with Brad Pitt in the lead role. The film is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, Joseph Kosinski, seven-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton, Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner and Chad Oman. F1 will be released in theaters on June 25.
