Brad Pitt is bringing his F1 passion project home. The Apple Original Films drama F1 The Movie hits physical media soon, and yes, it is Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment handling the discs. Apple movie, Warner discs. Hollywood is nothing if not confusing.

Bonus features (aka the good stuff)

• Inside the "F1 The Movie" Table Read (5:05) — On June 19, 2023, the cast met up at Silverstone with director Joseph Kosinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer for a table read. The piece looks back at that day and the friendships that formed as the production kicked off.
• The Anatomy of a Crash (6:23) — A major sequence was loosely inspired by Romain Grosjean's fiery Bahrain crash in 2020. This dives into how they staged that gnarly moment practically and pulled it off safely.
• Getting Up to Speed (5:00) — How do Brad Pitt and Damson Idris become convincing F1 drivers? Lead driving choreographers Luciano Bacheta and Craig Dolby break down the training, the repetition, and what it took to get them race-ready.
• APXGP Innovations (5:21) — Real F1 teams innovate every season; the crew here did the same. Sound, camera, RF, rigging, stunts, and SFX departments show off the new tricks they cooked up to capture speed and scale.
• Making it to Silverstone (5:04) — Those first days of shooting at the 2023 British Grand Prix took months (honestly, years) of prep for the Grid Walk and Formation Lap scenes. The aim: shoot it live without getting in the way of an actual F1 weekend.
• Lewis Hamilton: Producer (5:14) — When Joseph Kosinski set out to make an F1 movie, the first call was to seven-time champ Lewis Hamilton. This covers how Hamilton shaped the script, his on-set involvement, and why his perspective mattered.
• APXGP Sets and Locations Around the World (9:17) — A tour of the APXGP garage built to blend into the real paddock, plus access inside McLaren, Williams, and Mercedes facilities as those teams welcomed the production.
• APXGP and F1: How it was Filmed (5:53) — The crew had a one-hour window to nail the Red Flag climax. All 10 teams and their cars hit the pit lane so the filmmakers could capture it. This is the ultimate behind-the-scenes flex.
• Sound of Speed (5:10) — Hans Zimmer at AIR Studios during the first scoring sessions, with Bruckheimer observing. Zimmer talks about weaving the texture of the engines into the orchestral score.

So what is the movie actually about?

Brad Pitt plays Sonny Hayes, a former 1990s F1 phenom who flamed out after a career-stopping crash. Decades later, he is a nomad driver-for-hire until ex-teammate Ruben Cervantes, now running a failing Formula 1 outfit, talks him into a comeback to help save the team and settle old business. Sonny is paired with hotshot rookie Joshua Pearce, which is great for drama because in F1 your teammate is the person you have to beat. The film uses the fictional APXGP team to drop the characters into real races and real paddocks.

Your teammate is your fiercest competition. Redemption takes a team.

One last inside-baseball note

The production really did embed with Formula 1. They built an APXGP garage that could pass in the paddock, shot during an actual Grand Prix weekend, and had a one-hour sprint to film a key Red Flag sequence with all 10 teams lined up. It is rare access, and the extras lean into that. Also: an Apple film getting a Warner Bros. physical release? Welcome to 2025, where the corporate Venn diagram is just a circle.
