Legendary Hollywood producer Jerry Bruckheimer spent “three years” convincing Red Bull it wouldn’t be the villain of the upcoming Formula 1 movie.
Red Bull was initially concerned about Mercedes’ involvement in the F1 movie starring Brad Pitt, given their intense rivalry. However, Mercedes provided cars for filming, with Pitt and co-star Damson Idris driving the black and gold liveried machines adorned with Mercedes and AMG logos. Lewis Hamilton, via his production company, was also a consultant on the project. It took three years to assure Red Bull that they wouldn’t be portrayed as villains in the film. The movie, titled F1, features Pitt as veteran racer Sonny Hayes and is slated for international theater release on June 25, 2025. Premieres are planned in Monaco, New York, London, and other cities.
