Brad Pitt-starring ‘F1’ movie to debut in New York City: VIP red carpet treatment available for grabs

The hype for the F1 movie is gaining momentum as Apple Original Films gets set to launch its premiere event in New York City. Featuring Hollywood icon Brad Pitt and up-and-coming star Damson Idris, the movie is set for a June release and Formula 1 is giving its loyal Unlocked members a special treat — a chance to win an experience that will be etched in their memories forever, a VIP trip to the movie premiere.
Apple Original Films' F1 will have a grand launch in New York City this June, and F1 Unlocked members can now win a special red carpet experience with three friends. The high-octane prize is only available to F1 Unlocked members and comes with more than just cinema tickets. There will be a walk on the red carpet, a world premiere screening of the F1 movie, and paid return flights and accommodations in the United States — all for four people.
This special giveaway is more than a movie event; it's a full-on celebration of the sport, melding glamour with the raw edge of Formula 1 racing as seen on the big screen. The competition is now open and will continue until Tuesday, 13th May 2025. Winners will be among the first to experience what's proving to be a landmark event for motorsport storytelling.
The recently released movie trailer features Brad Pitt and Damson Idris in the midst of filming a fictional racing drama, transmitting the adrenaline and emotion that characterise Formula 1. Filmed on location during real Grand Prix weekends with real teams and drivers, the film has been billed as one of the most realistic portrayals of the sport yet.
Brad Pitt's presence, combined with the production excellence of Apple Original Films, has introduced a whole new level of thrill to the international fanbase of Formula 1. Damson Idris, the star of his critically acclaimed roles in Snowfall, adds ferocity to playing a young under-pressure driver. The film includes a combination of actual racing shots and dramatic narratives — a technique set to satisfy both die-hards and novices alike.
With behind-the-scenes backing from Formula 1 itself and from producers such as Jerry Bruckheimer, the film hopes to do for motorsport what Top Gun: Maverick did for flying.
