"We need to build our car for combat." "How am I supposed to make that safe?" "Who said anything about 'safe?'" Apple TV + Warner Bros have launched the first look teaser trailer for the new F1 movie, directed by Joe Kosinski (of Tron: Legacy, Oblivion, Top Gun: Maverick). This first trailer debuted during the British Grand Prix Formula 1 race today - with the movie set for release in the summer of 2025 next year. This is a massive production (following Kosinski's Top Gun being a massive hit), with reports saying the budget has risen up to $300 million, including filming during actual real F1 races with Brad Pitt and the cast walking on the raceway. F1 is about a famous Formula One driver who, after a horrific crash years ago, comes out of retirement to mentor and team with a younger driver - played by Damson Idris. (So, this is pretty much Top Gun: Maverick again but with cars?) F1 stars Brad Pitt as Sonny Hayes, with Idris, Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, Javier Bardem, Sarah Niles, plus Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen, and the rest of the F1 drivers & team members as themselves. So far so good - this is an exciting teaser with slick footage.

Here's the first look teaser trailer (+ teaser poster) for Joseph Kosinski's F1 movie, direct from YouTube:

Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt), a Formula One driver who raced in the 1990s, has a horrible crash, forcing him to retire from Formula One and start racing in other disciplines. A Formula One team owner and friend contacts Hayes and asks him to come out of retirement to mentor rookie prodigy Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris) on the Apex Grand Prix team (APXGP). F1, also known as Formula 1, is directed by the visionary American filmmaker Joe Kosinski (aka Joseph Kosinski), director of the movies Tron: Legacy, Oblivion, Only the Brave, and Top Gun: Maverick previously, plus a few other music videos and lots of commercials. The screenplay is written by Ehren Kruger (writer of Arlington Road, Scream 3, Reindeer Games, The Ring, Blood & Chocolate, Transformers 2 - 4, Ghost in the Shell, Dumbo, Top Gun: Maverick). Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, Chad Oman, Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, Lewis Hamilton, and Kosinski. Made by Apple Studios, Bruckheimer Films, Plan B, Dawn Apollo Films. Apple + Warner Bros opens Kosinski's F1 movie in theaters worldwide starting on June 27th, 2025 next summer. First impression? Down for this?
