Production of F1 began in 2023 with the fictional APXGP Formula 1 team making appearances at Grand Prix events with their own infrastructure and cars. Amid a Hollywood writers’ and actors’ strike, production faced delays and rumors of a budget increase to $300 million, an amount typically reserved for superhero films. Producer Bruckheimer and Director Kosinski refuted claims of exceeding the budget, citing filming rebates, sponsorships, and efficient production practices as cost-saving measures. The team filmed at various locations, including England and Abu Dhabi, utilizing real Formula 1 events for authenticity. The teaser trailer for F1 aired globally before the British Grand Prix, with an official cinema release slated for June 25, 2025.
