F1 Movie just won a Grammy and next come the Oscars
Following four Oscars nominations last month, the F1 movie won an award at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards. The film, featuring Lewis Hamilton’s production credit, broke box office records for a Brad Pitt film, with Pitt playing lead character Sonny Hayes. Hayes comes out of retirement to race for the APX GP team alongside Joshua Pearce, portrayed by Damson Idris, and numerous F1 stars. The movie captures the authentic F1 atmosphere, filmed during race weekends in 2023 and 2024. F1 was also Oscar-nominated for best picture, sound, film editing, and visual effects. The Grammy win for Chris Stapleton’s country song from the film points to its success and potential for a sequel. Despite mixed reviews, the film’s financial success and industry recognition pave the way for more F1-themed movies.
