Pitt teams up with Javier Bardem and Damson Idris in the trailer, which features a new look at Pitt as Sonny Hayes, a veteran racer recruited by Bardem's character Ruben Cervantes to join his Formula 1 team and race alongside Idris' character Joshua Pearce.

F1 was also filmed in quick bursts right in the middle of F1 races, during Grand Prix weekends. Takes had to be nailed down in the fifteen minutes F1 had between the practice run and the actual F1 race. And the crowd that’s present in the movie is a real crowd, too. Something that makes all the difference.
