F1 Movie is coming to Apple TV VERY soon!

After dominating cinemas this summer, “F1: The Movie” is set to arrive on Apple TV on Friday, 12 December 2025, giving audiences a chance to experience the high-octane drama from the comfort of home.

A Story of Redemption and Rivalry

Dubbed “the greatest that never was,” Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) was Formula 1’s most promising phenom of the 1990s until a career-threatening accident on the track. Thirty years later, he’s a nomadic racer-for-hire when his former teammate Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), now owner of a struggling F1 team, convinces him to make a comeback. Sonny is offered one last shot at glory alongside the team’s hotshot rookie, Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris). But as the engines roar, Sonny must face the reality that in Formula 1, your teammate can also be your fiercest competitor — and the road to redemption is never a solo journey.

Box-Office Triumph

The film was a massive success in theaters, grossing over $600 million worldwide and establishing itself as one of the year’s biggest blockbusters. Audiences have praised its intense racing sequences, compelling story, and authentic portrayal of the sport. Critics highlighted the film’s emotional depth, noting that it balances thrilling on-track action with rich character arcs.
