‘F1’ OTT release date: Here's when and where to watch Brad Pitt’s high-octane racing drama

The buzz surrounding Brad Pitt’s highly anticipated Formula 1 drama, ‘F1’, is accelerating yet again as the film gears up for its digital premiere.

Directed by ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ (2022) filmmaker Joseph Kosinski, the movie has already made waves for its cutting-edge production, immersive racing sequences, and unprecedented access to real Formula 1 events.

Released in theatres on June 27, 2025, F1 sped to remarkable box-office success—becoming the seventh-highest-grossing film of 2025 and the highest-grossing auto racing film of all time.

Now, the blockbuster is ready to shift gears to OTT, with its digital release confirmed for December 12, 2025, on Apple TV+ and Amazon Prime Video. 

The film features a star-studded ensemble led by Brad Pitt, who plays veteran racer Sonny Hayes, returning to the track to mentor rising talent Joshua Pearce, portrayed by Damson Idris.

The cast also includes Kerry Condon as Kate McKenna, Tobias Menzies as Peter Banning, Javier Bardem as Rubén Cervantes, Kim Bodnia as Kaspar Smolinski, and Samson Kayo as Cashman.

Adding an extra layer of authenticity, F1 showcases appearances by real Formula 1 teams and drivers—an unprecedented move that has thrilled motorsport fans.

With Ehren Kruger handling the screenplay and Kosinski bringing his signature high-adrenaline visual style, the film is set to deliver a gripping, cinematic portrayal of the racing world both on track and behind the scenes.

As F1 races onto OTT platforms, viewers can expect a visually spectacular, emotionally charged drama that blends Hollywood storytelling with the raw intensity of real-world Formula 1 racing.
