In the film, Pitt's character, Sonny Hayes, is brought back into the world of Formula One by his former teammate Ruben Cervantes (played by Javier Bardem), who now owns a struggling F1 team.
As Sonny attempts to help the team make a comeback, he faces challenges both on and off the track, including reconciling with his past.
The film's plot revolves around Sonny Hayes, who was once a talented and promising driver before a severe
accident
ended his career.
Decades later, he is convinced to return to the sport by Cervantes, who seeks to revive his failing team. As Sonny works alongside the young and ambitious driver Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), he must overcome his personal demons and confront the rapidly changing world of Formula 1.
Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and Lewis Hamilton, 'F1' also features a powerful soundtrack composed by Hans Zimmer, blending electronic and orchestral sounds to capture the high-octane nature of the sport.

Louis Tomlinson Ignites Harry Styles Rumours After Liking, Then Disliking A Fan Edit
Last Updated: Louis Tomlinson liked a fan-made reel featuring him with his former bandmate Harry Styles, which was set to Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars' romantic hit Die With A Smile. Singer Louis Tomlinson is once again making headlines, but not for his music. This time, the former One Direction member caught the attention of fans when he liked an Instagram post, only to reverse his action. On Sunday, June 29, Louis liked a fan-made reel featuring him with his former bandmate Harry Styles. The video was set to Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars' romantic hit Die With A Smile. In the clip, which probably featured an interview of Louis and Harry back when One Direction was still together, the 33-year-old English singer kept talking while Harry fondly stared at him. 'The way Harry looks at him" was written atop the video. Fans were quick to notice that Louis had liked it. But just a few hours later, the like was gone. Louis had disliked the video, which sent One Direction fans into a frenzy. Some people thought that he might have liked it by mistake. Another section felt it was a quiet way of showing the fans that he still watches such edits made by their ardent fans. Meanwhile, a few once again speculated about Louis' relationship with Harry. For years, One Direction fans have believed that the duo are more than just friends, giving them the nickname 'Larry." Even though both singers have moved on with their lives and careers, such rumours are far from being over. entertainment In 2024, Louis addressed the rumours that the two singers had secretly dated each other. Speaking to the Brazilian magazine, G1, the singer said that he had given up on denying the rumours, highlighting how people do not want to see the truth. 'I've realised this some years ago; there's nothing I can say or do to dispel the believers in that conspiracy," he said. He further shared that the speculations were intertwined with what people believed to be the truth, to such an extent that they would never see the truth. Talking about how such rumours can be a little irritating at times, Louis also referred to the infamous Babygate theories that emerged after the birth of his son, Freddie. 'At times when it gets far too personal, I have my son, Freddie. He's the most important person in my life. Occasionally, it kind of broaches some stuff that's really unfair," he said.

The second test will occur at the Bahrain International Circuit from February 11 to 13, followed by a third test at the same venue from February 18 to 20, according to the FIA. 'Test one will be a private test and will take place at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya between 26–30 two will take place at the Bahrain International Circuit between 11–13 February. Test three will take place at the Bahrain International Circuit between 18–20 February," F1 said in a statement.

The testing phase will then move to the Middle East, where the Bahrain International Circuit will host two official tests with fans and media present. The first test in Bahrain runs from February 11 to 13, followed by a final tune-up from February 18 to 20 at the same location. These sessions will offer the last look at team performance before the season kicks off in Australia, scheduled for March 6-8 at Melbourne's Albert Park. When Is Azerbaijan Grand Prix? Alongside confirming the testing programme, Formula 1 has also announced a change to the 2026 race calendar. Following a request from local organisers and government authorities, the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku will now take place on Saturday, September 26, instead of the originally planned Sunday, September 27. This change accommodates a national day celebration, with the entire event schedule moving forward by one day. All teams have been informed of the change, giving them ample time to adjust their plans for what is expected to be a busy and unpredictable season. First Published: June 30, 2025, 18:29 IST

"Ab aayega Captain Cool powder, oil, deodorant": Fans imagine the wackiest products Dhoni could launch
As news broke that former Indian cricket captain MS Dhoni has filed a trademark application for the phrase 'Captain Cool', social media lit up with a flurry of hilarious and surprisingly informed reactions. The term, famously linked to Dhoni's unshakeable calm on the cricket field, is now set to become official property. According to the Trade Marks Registry portal, Dhoni's application, filed on June 5 and listed under Class 41 (sports training, coaching, and facilities), was accepted and advertised on June 16. While the trademark is focused on sports services, that didn't stop netizens from imagining a full-blown product universe. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like These Photos Captured the Exact Wrong Moment Read More Undo 'Ab aayega Captain Cool powder, oil, deodorant,' joked one user, summing up the mood online. — Being_Humor (@Being_Humor) Live Events On X (formerly Twitter), another user cheekily imagined a lineup of Captain Cool-branded underwear, condoms, and slippers, before clarifying that the registration is strictly for sports-related services: 'nothing cheeky like that just yet!' — ramnit1983 (@ramnit1983) Another user weighed in on the trend of celebrities trademarking fan-given nicknames: 'Next he'll trademark Thala. Someone will trademark King, Hitman etc. One has already done for letters S R and K.' — rkver2 (@rkver2) Many saw Dhoni's move as a strategic step towards launching his own sports academy or coaching brand. 'Bhai Class 41 is for training, entertainment and sporting,' tweeted another user. 'Woh academy khol raha hai apni.
