F1 is undoubtedly one of the most highly anticipated new blockbusters for 2025, hitting the big screen in just over a week.
The high-octane drama teams Top Gun: Maverick director Joseph Kosinski with Hollywood star Brad Pitt for a thrilling take on one of the world's most popular sports.
Featuring an all-star cast, from Oscar-winners to TV legends and rising talents, F1 is gearing up to be the first unmissable cinema release this summer.
With the film almost at the starting block, let's lay down the essentials of everything you need to know before it comes out.
Who stars in F1?

Following a devastating crash in the 1990s, Sonny is forced to bow out and compete elsewhere, eventually living a nomadic lifestyle when we meet him in 2025.
However, he's obliged to come out of his self-imposed exile when his close friend Ruben Cervantes (played by Javier Bardem) picks him to mentor Apex Grand Prix team (APXGP) rookie, Joshua 'Noah' Pearce (Damson Idris).
In addition to this trio, BAFTA-winning Irish star Kerry Condon portrays APXGP technical director Kate McKenna.
Some recognisable Brits from hit TV series also have major roles, including Outlander and The Crown's Tobias Menzies as Peter Banning, a member of APXGP's board of directors.
Also in supporting roles are Killing Eve's Kim Bodnia as Kaspar Molinski, Heartstopper's Joseph Balderrama as Rico Fazio, comedy star Samson Kayo as Cashman and Ted Lasso's Sarah Niles as Bernadette Pearce, Joshua's mother.
Sex Education and Bridgerton star Simone Ashley also has an undisclosed role.

Brad Pitt rocks a very bold blue outfit as he heads out for another date night with girlfriend Ines de Ramon
BRAD Pitt has debuted yet another quirky look — this time while out on a cosy dinner date with girlfriend Ines de Ramon in New York. The 61-year-old two-time Oscar winner, currently promoting his new racing film F1, was spotted hand-in-hand with Ines, 32, as the couple made their way to a Manhattan restaurant on Saturday night. 5 5 The pair, who began dating in 2022, were all smiles as they to their date, with Brad wearing a bright blue velvet blazer, loose denim jeans, and a half-buttoned striped shirt. He rounded off the outfit with black shoes. Ines, one of the bosses at Anita Ko Jewelry, wore a white sleeveless top with feathered trim and matching trousers. The fine accessories expert added a necklace and small earrings for the couple's night out. It's not the first time Brad's style choices have raised eyebrows lately. Earlier on Saturday he'd been seen filming with Jimmy Fallon in yet another unusual outfit. His recent appearances have sparked talk from fans he is in the midst of a full-blown midlife makeover. Followers have compared his latest looks to his Fight Club character Tyler Durden. The connection was made even more obvious when he stepped out recently in a lavender silk shirt, unbuttoned at the top, with black velvet trousers and a fresh buzzcut. Brad donned the look for a double date with his pal Bradley Cooper, 50, and his girlfriend Gigi Hadid, 30, for dinner at the exclusive COTE Korean Steakhouse. The couple were seen exiting a Midtown building shortly after Brad was forced to deny speculation that he's using his relationship with Ines to generate publicity for F1. His new film, F1, is due out June 27 and directed by Top Gun: Maverick's Joseph Kosinski. It also stars Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem and Tobias Menzies. While pushing the film, Brad also made rare remarks about family — amid ongoing public distance from the six children he shares with ex-wife Angelina Jolie. The pair's divorce began in 2016 and was finalized last November. They share adopted children Maddox, 23, Pax, 21, and Zahara, 20, as well as biological children Shiloh, 19, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 16. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight at the film's premiere in Mexico City, Brad said: 'No matter the mistake, you just learn from [it] and move on. It'll lead to the next success.' He added: 'When you get to my age, you realize how important it is to surround yourself with the people you love, the people that love you back. Friends, family, and that.' 5 5
