The film also features collaborations with F1’s ten teams, drivers, and the FIA.
Who is taking part in the movie?
The movie boasts a stellar supporting cast, including Academy Awards winner Kerry Condon. Javier Bardem, and Tobias Menzies. Other notable actors like Sarah Niles, Kim Bodnia, and Samson Kayo join the cast.
Their performances are expected to complement the high-speed drama and emotion of the film.
The buzz around the Formula 1 movie began in 2024 with a teaser released during the British Grand Prix.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the chance to experience the adrenaline-fueled spectacle when it hits theatres later this year.
