F1, or F1 the Movie, is a 2025 sports film directed by renowned director Joseph Kosinski. The movie was created based on the F1 world championship, with the help of the FIA, the governing body of motorsport around the world.

Brad Pitt reveals Lewis Hamilton's contribution to the F1 movie
Following the worldwide premiere of the F1 movie, Brad Pitt unraveled how Lewis Hamilton has been an instrumental figure in its making. Besides being the co-producer, Hamilton shared an immense amount of input with Pitt and others, helping craft the film.
“Everyone has had a hand honing this thing, then Lewis coming in for the ultimate ‘smell test’,” Pitt said, speaking about Hamilton. “I think we’ve got something. It’s really fun, it’s exciting, it’s adventurous, and you feel it. I do. I hope others do too."
“Lewis’ knowledge has been so immensely helpful. He’s been keeping us straight, going, ‘No, that doesn’t fly,’ right down to the sound. He can actually pick it out and go, ‘No, that’s Turn 12, not Turn 16. You need more reverb on the straight’ – he’s that specific," the Hollywood actor further added (via F1.com).
Brad Pitt, who is also the co-producer of the movie, is the lead star, along with Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, Javier Bardem, and many more. Renowned music producer Hans Zimmer did the music, and Apple Studios co-produced the movie.
