The Apple TV original film F1: the Movie won the Oscar for Best Sound at the 98th Academy Awards, adding to its four prior nominations including Best Picture.

Brad Pitt stars in F1: the Movie, directed by Joseph Kosinski, which has become a major topic of Oscar conversation, particularly for Best Picture.

A sequel is in development with producer Jerry Bruckheimer and Apple involved, while Lewis Hamilton confirmed script work began in late 2025 to early 2026 and that collaboration with directors and writers continues.

The film’s Florida ties are highlighted, with filming locations and local involvement noted as part of a broader Florida-focused retrospective.

Released in mid-2025, the film follows Pitt’s Sonny Hayes, a veteran driver making a comeback, and features cameos from Hamilton and Wolff.

Significant production choices included filming sequences during actual F1 race weekends with cockpit-mounted cameras to deliver immersive driving perspectives.

Apple TV+ availability is outlined across devices, with pricing details, trial terms, and references to Apple One as a potential discount option.

The movie grossed over $633 million worldwide in 2025, becoming the highest-grossing motorsport film and a standout for Brad Pitt’s career and Apple’s slate.

Lewis Hamilton served as executive producer and appears in the cast alongside actors like Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, Tobias Menzies, and others.

Critical reception was generally favorable, with Metacritic around 68 and Rotten Tomatoes around 82, and strong audience scores.

The release strategy included a June theatrical launch, followed by PVOD in fall and Apple TV streaming by December.

Other notable achievements include the film becoming Apple’s highest-grossing production and marking a landmark for automotive cinema in 2025.
