Joseph Kosinski's feature film dedicated to the world of Formula 1 will unveil its trailer just before the start of the British Grand Prix!
A year after a very notable first appearance at Silverstone last year, Brad Pitt is back across the Channel this weekend, at the British Grand Prix. The American actor was spotted on the circuit, to finish filming some sequences of his movie on the Formula 1.

But above all, he comes to do a bit of promotion because that's it, the one we called Apex now has an official title: it will be F1 !
Warner Bros announced its choice today (see below), which sounds like a major advertising campaign for Formula 1 aimed at the American public, an objective already avowed by Liberty Media (the group which owns the rights to the sport) which has largely left the director Joseph Kosinski walking around the paddock with his camera for a year.

let's remember that F1 will tell the story of Sonny Hayes, a veteran pilot who comes out of retirement to mentor a young pilot, Joshua Pearce, in an attempt to regain his former glory.
Brad Pitt will play Sonny Hayes. Damson Idris (Snowfall) will also be in the cast, as well as Kerry Condon (The Banshees of Inisherin) Tobias Menzies (Outlander) And Javier Bardem.
Released on June 25, 2025 in theaters in France.
