On a gorgeous Sunday morning in Los Angeles, the David Geffen Theater at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures is packed. The audience isn’t here to see any movie, however. They didn’t get up early to even see a world premiere or an early screening of a brand new awards contender. No, this audience of AMPAS, guild, and SAG nominating committee members is on hand to (likely) rewatch Joseph Kosinski’s global summer hit, “F1.” Oh, and experiencing a Q&A afterward featuring the director, producer Jerry Bruckheimer, stars Damon Idris and Sarah Niles, as well as Formula One racing legend, Lewis Hamilton, who also happens to be a credited producer on the Apple Studios endeavor. Oh, and of course, the film’s leading man, Brad Pitt.

‘F1’ Sets Streaming Date in December on Apple TV
“F1: The Movie” will zoom to the small screen around the holiday season. The sports drama, starring Brad Pitt as a has-been Formula One driver, is making its global streaming debut on Apple TV on Dec. 12.
“F1” was released in theaters in June and generated a huge $629 million at the global box office, becoming the highest-grossing movie of Pitt’s career as well as the biggest film ever for Apple Original Films. It’s one of just six releases in 2025 to cross the $600 million mark. Directed by Joseph Kosinski (“Top Gun: Maverick”), “F1” follows Pitt’s character as he emerges from retirement to coach a rookie driver and save a failing team. Damson Idris, Kerry Condon and Tobias Menzies co-star in the film, while real-life Formula One champ Lewis Hamilton counts himself among the producers.
