Entertainment Weekly Roundtable


The cast of ‘F1’—Brad Pitt, Damson Idris, Kerry Condon and Javier Bardem—gather for a fast-paced conversation about making their adrenaline-fueled new film. From hitting speeds of 180mph to training with real Formula 1 drivers like Lewis Hamilton, they dive into the challenges of race-day filming, the thrill of working on real courses at the British Grand Prix, and the art of acting through a helmet—relying only on their eyes to convey emotion.

Brad opens up about the intensity of filming high-speed corners, Damson jokes about “off-roading” during training, and Javier reveals whether the movie made him want to drive (spoiler: it didn’t). Kerry shares admiration for director Joseph Kosinski’s precision under pressure and reflects on telling a story that honors real F1 racers—with cameos from legends and sportscasters alike.

Heineken 0.0 teams up with Brad Pitt

Heineken 0.0 has been announced as an official partner of F1® THE MOVIE, with the collaboration brought to life by a new campaign directed by the movie’s director Joseph Kosinski and featuring the film’s stars, Brad Pitt and Damson Idris.

The campaign will launch ahead of the film’s global release on 25 June, with Heineken 0.0 also featuring in the film. In one scene Damson’s character, Joshua Pearce, is seen enjoying a Heineken® 0.0, assuming he’s about to drive, when expectations are reversed and in fact it is Brad’s character, Sonny Hayes, getting behind the wheel.

In the lead-up to the film’s release, fans can expect exclusive content and behind-the-scenes access via Heineken channels.

“At Heineken, we believe culture has the power to shape behaviour,” said Heineken Global Head of Brand Nabil Nasser.

“By becoming part of F1® THE MOVIE, we’re taking the conversation around moderation into a space that’s global, influential, and emotionally engaging. This partnership isn’t just about visibility – it’s about making alcohol-free choices feel natural, accepted and relevant in the moments that matter, especially in social settings. As leaders in the 0.0 category, we’re committed to redefine what it means to choose moderation today.”

F1 @ Mexico


• x024 June 09 – F1 – Mexico City, Mexico.
• x015 June 09 – F1 (Photocall) – Mexico City, Mexico.

During the F1 premiere in Mexico City on June 9, a reporter for Entertainment Tonight referred to Pitt’s May 28 GQ interview — in which he declared that his life currently feels “fairly contained”, “pretty warm” and “secure” — and asked him what makes him feel “so grounded.”

“No matter the mistake, you know, you just learn from [it] and move on,” the actor shared. “It’ll lead to the next success.”

“I think [when] you get to my age, you really see how important it is to surround yourself with the people you love, the people that love you back,” he continued. “Friends, family, and that’s it.”

“From there, we get to go make things,” he added. “So it’s a pretty simple, I think, equation.”

CBR attended a press conference for F1 ahead of its theatrical release, where Kosinski, producer Jeremy Kleiner and stars Pitt, Idris and Kerry Condon discussed the intense training for the film. While the thrills come from the actors actually being in the driver’s seat during 180-miles-per-hour races, the heart of the film comes from the characters’ spirits and emotional journeys. They also revealed the most surprising things they learned about Formula One during the process of filming, and how the film was “nothing like” Pitt ever experienced in his career.

Formula One teams treat their trade secrets like matters of national security. In a motor-sport where milliseconds separate champions from also-rans, hiding technical know-how from opponents is as key as a fresh pair of tires. So when Joseph Kosinski, director of F1 the Movie—the summer-blockbuster hopeful starring Brad Pitt and hitting theaters and IMAX on June 27—tried to gain access to the inner workings of Formula One, a rush of déjà vu hit him. After all, Kosinski made Top Gun: Maverick, the 2022 naval-aviator smash that grossed $1.5 billion, with the support of the U.S. Department of Defense. “It was the same level of security,” he says, “that I experienced when I went to some secret bases.”

Kosinski spent a year bugging Toto Wolff, team principal of the Mercedes–AMG Petronas F1 team, for permission to film at the Mercedes race simulator. Most Mercedes employees themselves can’t access this space at headquarters, 70 miles northwest of London. But Wolff finally relented. So in the movie viewers will see Pitt and Damson Idris, who respectively play Sonny Hayes and Joshua Pearce, drivers for the fictional APXGP team, practicing on Mercedes’ high-priced toys. “We were keen on contributing to making this a success,” says Wolff, who along with F1 president and CEO Stefano Domenicali is credited as an executive producer. “And that means you cannot be half pregnant and say, ‘Yeah, we’re playing along, but no, we don’t want to let you into our factory.’”
