When is 'F1' coming to streaming? Here's our best guess
The Apple Original sports drama sees "greatest that never was" Formula 1 racer Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) recruited by an ex-teammate (Javier Bardem) to help bring his struggling F1 franchise, APXGP, back from the brink. Sonny takes him up on the offer, but butts heads with the team's hotshot youngster, Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris).
It's a sports movie with drama both on and off the track, and plenty of thrilling action — fellow TG writer Malcolm McMillan went so far as to proclaim it "the movie of the summer — and it's earned solid reviews and has performed well at the box office so far.
If you'd prefer to skip the trip to the theater and see the movie at home, we unfortunately do not yet have an official "F1" streaming date. However, that hasn't stopped me from trying to predict when the movie might come to Apple TV Plus: here's my best guess.
At the time of writing, the only way to see Brad Pitt and Joseph Kosinski's "F1" movie is by heading to your nearest movie theater, and we'll likely have to wait a little while before it's available to stream at home.
That's because "F1" only hit the big screen on June 27. And if you're hoping to watch it at home as soon as possible, "F1" will presumably first release on Premium Video-on-Demand (PVOD) storefronts before coming to a streaming service.
While we don't have a confirmed "F1" streaming date yet, we at least know where the movie will be available first. As it's an Apple Original Film, you can expect to stream "F1: The Movie" on Apple TV Plus.

Unlike with other streaming services, it's a little trickier to predict when "F1" might come to streaming. My best guess right now is that the "F1" movie will be available on Apple TV Plus at some point in fall 2025.
That's not a very precise window, but the wait for past Apple Original Films has varied wildly. For example, we waited 100 days for Ridley Scott's "Napoleon" to come to streaming, 84 days for "Killers of the Flower Moon", and just 70 days for "Argylle" to come to Apple's streaming service.
Greg Berlanti's underrated period romantic comedy "Fly Me to the Moon" took a lot longer, arriving just over four months after it originally premiered.
If we split the difference between and assume an approximate 85-day wait, we might see the "F1" movie streaming on Apple TV Plus on or around September 20, 2025.
Of course, that's just my very unofficial guess. I'll be sure to update this article as and when we get more concrete info or a confirmed "F1" streaming date.

This influencer is fighting back at bad walkers by secretly filming them — and New Yorkers are thrilled with his sidewalk rage
Hey, he's walking here! For the past few months, Matt Bass has acted as Gotham's very own Batman for a very specific, but sizeable subset of New Yorkers: the easily irritated pedestrian. His version of the Batsuit, though, is a simple black T-shirt, shorts, sunglasses and a backwards baseball cap — a suitably surreptitious disguise for filming a series of clandestine TikToks he's dubbed 'Bad Walkers.' Advertisement 'This is just my walking experience,' he explained to The Post about the 'quirky characters' he spots on his travels. 'These are the people who inconvenience me.' 8 Matt Bass films all across lower Manhattan, but if he's feeling brave enough, he'll venture up to Midtown to film top-tier rage-inducing walkers. Tamara Beckwith/NY Post Typically, he films his videos with his iPhone and a trusty pair of Apple wired earbuds, which act as a microphone, though he says it's a pretty conspicuous setup — if bad walkers look back, they'll notice him taking a video. Advertisement 'It's like I have a dash cam on my head,' said Bass, 30. And when he walks, he documents the unique frustrations that the perambulators, traipsers and striders of the city experience — and cause — in a sequence of clips now well over 60 parts long. It's enough to trigger any New Yorker. People trip on metal grates, abruptly stop to point at sights surrounding them, obliviously swing their shopping bags into fellow pedestrians, and, perplexingly, read books. Advertisement One time, he even saw a Times Square living statue spray-painting himself gold — and when they stopped to mist a passerby, all Bass could do was hope they knew each other. Unfortunately, he's not always able to capture the wackiest moments — he says he wasn't quite quick enough to snap that golden scene. But as irritating as some of the city's slowest and most selfish walkers can be, Bass doesn't get in their faces. Instead, he critiques their techniques from afar — if two feet to the rear can truly even be considered 'far.' Advertisement And according to Bass, he's never even directly confronted anyone. 'I think stuff like 'Billy on the Street' or Eric André pouring Fruit Loops milk on his head on the subway, where you're just getting in people's faces, is way worse than what I'm doing. I feel like ['Bad Walkers'] is a pretty calm version of that, so I don't think it's creepy.' While he does get rare critical comments under his social media posts, the majority of New Yorkers in the replies are all for it. 'Please never stop,' one sample commenter wrote under a recent post. 8 One commenter even half-jokingly suggested that Matt Bass partner with MTA to put his videos up on subway billboards to spread the 'good walker' word. Tamara Beckwith/NY Post 'It's not like I'm revealing people's faces … and I'm not trying to put anyone on the map as a bad walker — just provide some commentary,' Bass told The Post. 'I've deleted a couple of videos of people who have said, 'Hey, that was me.' I'm not hungry for the views and engagement, so I'm not going to [film videos] at the expense of someone else's happiness.' Advertisement Once, while sauntering the mean streets of Soho, Bass got a touch too close to a displeased Aussie tourist, who he said was strolling down the sidewalk in a group five-wide — a classic tourist faux pas — and told him off. According to Bass, the visitor from down under told him, in no uncertain terms, to get out of his face and stop recording him. That visitor is far from the only trekker who's heard his commentary from afar. In his videos, viewers can see the odd head or two turn after hearing an in-depth, articulate walking analysis coming from behind them. 8 While his new Ray-Ban Meta glasses are convenient, Bass still prefers his trusty old wired earbuds and phone camera. Tamara Beckwith/NY Post Now that he's begun filming more frequently, Bass says he's had to diversify his typical route, as his fellow East Villagers have begun to recognize him out and about. Advertisement He's not complaining, though — at least the overall neighborhood walking quality has improved, he declared. In an attempt to be more hush-hush about his project, he recently made a splashy new spend to deliver top-tier content to his 40,000 and counting followers — Ray-Ban Meta Sunglasses, which ran him about $300 and provide the ability to record video through cameras hidden in the specs. 8 Bass says he tries to avoid capturing faces on camera for privacy reasons. Tamara Beckwith/NY Post Despite his big purchase, though, he hasn't been using them much, he said, thanks to the poor audio quality — and after all, it's his commentary that keeps viewers coming back, so he's returned to his obvious but reliable iPhone to capture a particularly reliable area of the Big Apple. Advertisement Though the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn and Staten Island have plenty of fascinating sights, sounds and strollers of their own to offer, Bass prefers to stick to lower Manhattan. 'I know it's controversial, but I'm someone who embraces that 'I only stay below 14th Street' mentality,' he told The Post. 8 Bass tells The Post he tends to catch the afternoon crowds, given that he typically goes on his daily walks after the work day wraps up, so he witnesses the chaos that is Manhattan rush hour. Tamara Beckwith/NY Post 'I think it's the most authentic version of New York. I like that grittiness and grunge, the classic New York character — great restaurants right next to where the rats are eating their dinner. Plus, the nightlife's good, it has that balance.' Advertisement Bass finely honed his New Yorker sensibilities back on Long Island, where he was born and raised, before firmly establishing sub-14th Street Manhattan as his stomping grounds during his NYU days 12 years back. The TikTokker spends his days optimizing digital strategy at an e-commerce growth agency and building up his energy drink and baseball hat businesses, before lacing up his shoes to patrol the streets. 'Obviously, I don't just walk around in a circle near my apartment, so East to West downtown has been like my bread and butter,' he explained. 'I love the West Village, and I have friends that live west, so I usually just cut through Soho, or go through Washington Square Park.' Bass says he spends most of his afternoons and evenings walking anyway. 'My friends always ask why I walk so much,' said Bass, who revealed he strode about 10 miles a day during COVID but 'probably' does about 10,000 steps daily now. He admitted that he saunters the sidewalks partly 'to keep in shape,' but that's clearly not the driving force. 'It's just so freaking entertaining seeing crazy stuff and wandering around,' said Bass, who began filming his daily city walks because sometimes the story simply doesn't do it justice — you have to see it to believe it. 8 Bass says that subway entrances, shopping streets and areas under construction make for particularly bad walker hotspots. Tamara Beckwith/NY Post While Bass has plenty of examples of bad walkers on his page, what exactly makes a 'good' one? 'The two pillars of being a good New Yorker, and a good walker, are awareness and consideration. That's how you get up to a 7.5/10. If you do those, you're a good walker; that's all it takes,' the TikTokker told The Post. @mvttbvss Thank you for 10K followers. I am a man of my word. I don't recommend doing this but I said I would so I did. While counterintuitive to our mission of improving sidewalk etiquette and educating the world on the core principles of awareness and consideration, I hope it brought a smile to your face. Appreciate all of you supporting me on this journey, more to come on the road to 100K. #fyp #fypシ #nyc #newyorkcity #nyclife #foryoupage #foryourpage #targetaudience ♬ original sound – Matt Bass 'Anything above that is, like, 'Wow, this person's moving with some urgency — they've got some purpose in those steps,' he said. 'Stay on the right, generally, and go around the light posts if there's room on the curb – that's not off limits. If you're carrying things, don't wave them around; like, groceries and shopping bags don't need to take up that much width. Think about the real estate,' he advised. 8 It's not that he whispers, but he prefers to keep his voice low to avoid harassing random pedestrians — effectively bypassing awkward interactions for both parties — but keen-eared New Yorkers sometimes pick up his commentary regardless. Tamara Beckwith/NY Post To be clear, his metric system is not numerical. Rather, it relies on a robust vocabulary, sharp sense of humor and his very own invented walking jargon — pointed terms like 'scaffolding hogs,' 'chain link fence' and the dreaded 'drifter.' Though he emphasizes awareness, consideration and efficiency, he knows those aren't hard and fast rules. Compassion and respect are also important, he said. @mvttbvss The prop sub-series continues, this one was less effective than the air horn (obviously 😂), I'm sure the comments will agree it was less entertaining as well but at least I did it. Comment what you want to see next, I'll do my best to deliver for you 🫡🤝🫶 #nyc #newyork #newyorkcity #fyp #nyclife ♬ original sound – Matt Bass It's not all commiseration in Bass' comment sections, either. According to him, he has some regular haters — but he chalks most of the criticism up to bitter 'bad walkers feeling called out.' As a result of TikTok's unique algorithm, random users — and more often than not, they appear to be non-New Yorkers — often stumble onto Bass' page, where they issue wise words of advice on how to get around bad walkers. 'Just say excuse me' or 'I usually go around' are two of the most popular proposals, and depending on their attitude, sometimes warrant a pithy 'Thanks' from Bass. Not that there's nothing wrong with being a slow strider, he added. Really, the art of being a good walker is awareness. 8 While tourists unaccustomed to New York sights — and speeds — are often featured in the series, Bass finds that students and other large groups of people often tend to lack awareness. Tamara Beckwith/NY Post 'It's hard to capture with exciting commentary, but slow, good walkers exist. There are people who have good formation strategies when they're walking with a group,' he said. 'I saw this the other day, like, actually the slowest group ever, but they were walking in a single file line under the scaffolding. 'I was going, like, 'Thank you, you're the best' — like, I should have given them flowers.' TikTok commenters come to Bass' bad walker series for his quick-witted, amusing commentary, but it seems as though many of them stay for his insights on how etiquette and mutual respect impact the city's sense of local community — a seemingly rare notion in the contemporary moment in time. Hundreds of users have asked him to go to cities around the world — Boston, London, San Francisco, Chicago and Venice, to name a few — and even more have requested commentary videos filmed inside stores with notoriously irritating customers like Trader Joe's, Whole Foods and Costco. He plans to accommodate at least some of the asks. If nothing else, Bass is a man of the people — and an excellent walker.

Does F1 Really Have a Future at Spa?
The latest car news, reviews, and features. When rumors began to circulate around a year ago about the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps leaving the Formula 1 calendar, locals, race organizers, and fans engulfing the grandstands in orange all had something to say about it. For many, the Belgian Grand Prix's 2025 contract expiration meant more than erasing one of the sport's European races from the schedule. To locals, it represents a hit to the small-town economy. Residents rent out their farm fields as parking lots, and the race generates 41.8 million euros ($48.7 million) for the region, making up 10 percent of a neighboring town's annual income. For race organizers, the expiration date looked threatening as races like Miami and Las Vegas popped up with bigger bottom lines and commercial success. 'I guess a lot of things are just about money nowadays, which is the issue. It's a business,' Lando Norris said in 2022 as South African Grand Prix negotiations threatened to axe Spa. For fans, Spa's uncertain future meant one of F1's most historic and iconic tracks could be removed from the calendar. Ultimately, F1 re-signed its contract with the Belgian Grand Prix until 2031 on the condition that it would rotate every other year starting in 2028. NurPhoto via Getty Images Last year, spectators flocked to the circuit anticipating that it could be their last chance to see F1 cars take on Eau Rouge in person. The 2024 race offered an unexpected winner and disqualification drama. But as the sport's 20 drivers faced a slick circuit under a safety car this year, there was much left to be desired. With a nearly hour-and-a-half rain delay to kick off Sunday, the race looked like it could hold seat-gripping promise when Oscar Piastri lunged alongside teammate and championship-title rival Norris to take the lead. However, besides a few wide corner slip-ups and a handful of clean overtakes, the Grand Prix was a dull affair. The finishing order looked a whole lot like the starting grid, just in a slightly different order, as Piastri took home the winner's trophy, followed by Norris and Charles Leclerc. Against expectation and public opinion, Saturday's sprint race held more drama, intrigue, and wheel-to-wheel racing than the main event. While there were opportunities for Sunday's race to keep viewers' attention—like Alex Albon dragging his Williams into sixth place, or Lewis Hamilton's recovery drive from 16th to seventh—F1's broadcast spent more time on the dominant drive in front. The sport's greatest narrative arc in 2025 is its midfield runners, and the story told to spectators on Sunday didn't capitalize on the fact that Liam Lawson, Gabriel Bortoleto, and Pierre Gasly rounded out the top 10 points-scoring finishers. McLaren's Oscar Piastri, the winner of Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix, stands at center on the podium beside second-place finisher and teammate Lando Norris at left and third-place Charles Leclerc of Ferrari. Zhao Dingzhe/Xinhua via Getty Images In F1's current entertainment epidemic, Spa remains an enigma. It has all the ingredients for a fan-favorite race: high speeds, blind corners, history, and decently cheap entry and concession costs. But Sunday's race didn't reach that potential. In response to the 44-lap procession, fans on social media began to circulate Max Verstappen's radio message from the 2024 Monaco Grand Prix: 'This is boring, should have brought my pillow.' The sport's 2026 regulations bring the potential for more excitement. Smaller and lighter hybrid cars should increase speeds at one of the fastest tracks on the calendar. But the new regulations also come with unpredictability. The circuit's lack of braking means fewer opportunities for energy regeneration. And less bulky machines paired with lower downforce, higher speeds, and a track that never seems to fully dry mean the potential for danger is high. NurPhoto via Getty Images The 4.3-mile circuit already has a long and tragic history, and its safety faces near-constant skepticism: 'The two questions are, is Spa safe enough?' George Russell said last year. 'And then, it's a question of the conditions.' Over the years, F1 has increasingly prioritized safety in its decision-making at Spa, as it did with the call to delay Sunday's race start. Still, the venue's long list of fatalities and annual uncertainty is another tick working against its long-term future. So, where does Spa go from here? Maybe it is truly something better suited to the history books, or to this on-again, off-again format that leaves space for more modern race host locations. But there are still traditionalists who wax poetic about the Belgian Grand Prix as a timeless tribute to the sport and its heroes: 'It's one of the best tracks in the world,' as Hamilton put it last year. Maybe distance will make the heart grow fonder as the track's rotating format takes effect, and Spa will be more sweet than snooze-inducing next time around. Got a tip? Email tips@

Bubba Wallace becomes first Black driver to win a major race on Indianapolis' oval
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Bubba Wallace climbed out of the No. 23 car Sunday, pumped his fists, found his family and savored every precious moment of a historic Brickyard 400 victory. He deserved every minute of it. The 31-year-old Wallace overcame a tenuous 18-minute rain delay, two tantalizing overtimes, fears about running out of fuel late and the hard-charging defending race champ, Kyle Larson, on back-to-back restarts to become the first Black driver to win a major race on Indianapolis Motor Speedway's 2.5-mile oval. No Black driver has won the Indianapolis 500, and Formula 1 raced on the track's road course. 'This one's really cool,' Wallace said. 'Coming off Turn 4, I knew I was going to get there — unless we ran out of gas. I was surprised I wasn't crying like a little baby.' His third career NASCAR Cup victory delivered Wallace's first victory in the series' four crown jewel events, the others being the Daytona 500, Coca-Cola 600 and Southern 500. It also snapped a 100-race winless streak that dated to 2022 at Kansas and locked up a playoff spot. His only other win came at Talladega in 2021. The final gap was 0.222 seconds, but that was no measure of the consternation he faced. Larson cut a 5.057-second deficit with 14 laps to go to about three seconds with six laps left as the yellow flag came out for the rain. The cars then rolled to a stop on pit lane with four laps remaining, forcing Wallace to think and rethink his restart strategy. 'The whole time I'm thinking are we going? Are we not?' he said. 'I will say I leaned more towards 'I know we're going to go back racing. Be ready. Don't get complacent here.' Wallace made sure of it. He beat Larson through the second turn on the first restart only to have a crash behind him force a second overtime, forcing his crew to recalculate whether they had enough fuel to finish the race or whether he needed to surrender the lead and refuel. In Wallace's mind, there was no choice. 'The first thing that went through my mind was, 'Here we go again,'' he said. 'But then I said, `I want to win this straight up. I want to go back racing.' Here we are.' He beat Larson off the restart again and pulled away, preventing Larson from becoming the race's fourth back-to-back winner. The victory also alleviated the frustration Wallace felt Saturday when he spent most of the qualifying session on the provisional pole only to see Chase Briscoe claim the No. 1 starting spot with one of the last runs in the session. On Sunday, he made sure there was no repeat, providing an added boost to the 23XI Racing team co-owned by basketball Hall of Famer Michael Jordan and last week's race winner, Denny Hamlin, as it continues to battle NASCAR in court over its charter status. 'Those last 20 laps there were ups and downs and I was telling myself 'You won't be able to do it,'' Wallace said. 'Once I'd seen it was Larson, I knew he won here last year and he's arguably the best in the field. So to beat the best, we had to be the best today.' The other big race — the In-Season Challenge — went to Ty Gibbs, who had a better car than Ty Dillon in qualifying and on race day. Gibbs finished 21st o win the inaugural March Madness-like single-elimination tournament and collect the $1 million prize. Dillon, a surprise championship round entrant after making the field as the 32nd and final driver, finished 28th. 'They brought me money guns and they jammed so I decided to take all the money and throwing it to the fans and they were all wrestling and fighting over it,' said Gibbs, who also received a title belt and a ring. 'But it's super cool. It's a cool opportunity.' Tire troubles At different points, Austin Cindric and three-time Cup champion Joey Logano appeared to be in control of the race, but tire problems took them out of contention. Eric Jones also was knocked out of the race when his right front tire came off between Turns 3 and 4, sending him hard into the outside wall on Lap 91. They weren't the only drivers who made early exits. Ross Chastain was the first out after just 18 laps when a tap from Michael McDowell sent Chastain's car spinning into the third turn wall and caused heavy damage. The others who were out before Lap 100 were Austin Dillon, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Cody Ware. Weathering the storm Series officials were concerned enough about the threat of rain that they moved up the start time by 10 minutes. Fifteen minutes probably would have eliminated the rain delay. But the threat of rain impacted the race long before the delay. Early in the second stage, some teams informed drivers rain was expected near the midway point and it seemed to increase the aggressiveness earlier in the race than expected. Monster advice Cookie Monster made it to the track Sunday, too. The beloved Sesame Street character, who served as the Brickyard's grand marshal, attended driver introductions and took a handful of questions before the race and even offered some advice to the drivers. 'Don't stop and ask for directions,' the furry blue character said. Up next Cup drivers will continue their brief Midwestern tour next Sunday when they race at Iowa. ___ AP auto racing:
