F1 Trailer Accelerates Anticipation for Brad Pitt's Racing Epic

Set for release on June 27, 2025, F1 stars Brad Pitt as a seasoned driver navigating the cutthroat world of Formula 1, with a supporting cast including Javier Bardem, Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, Kim Bodnia, and Shea Whigham.
As one might expect, the trailer wastes no time depicting roaring engines and sweeping shots of Formula 1 circuits, capturing the sport’s raw intensity. Centered around Pitt’s character (a veteran racer making a comeback after a traumatic crash), F1 encompasses struggle both on and off the track with a mix of seasoned pros and new blood. Kosinski’s signature visual flair is evident in the trailer’s high-stakes on-track sequences. And, using game-like camerawork, the footage immerses viewers in the driver’s seat, showcasing high-speed overtakes and a few close calls.
The trailer balances this with emotional beats, including glimpses of Pitt’s character mentoring a younger driver, played by Idris, hinting at a larger story of legacy and redemption. At just over two minutes, the trailer avoids revealing too much, and between Kosinski’s track record and Pitt’s star power, F1 hopes to capture the sport’s adrenaline and drama when it hits theaters next month.
