Plot and Trailer
F1: The Movie follows the journey of Sonny Hayes (played by Brad Pitt), a celebrated Formula 1 racer of the 1990s whose career was cut short after a near-fatal crash.

The film explores themes of self-discovery, resilience, and the pursuit of redemption against the backdrop of adrenaline-fueled F1 action.
