Filming wraps for Brad Pitt's Formula One movie in Abu Dhabi with Lewis Hamilton's involvement

Filming for the movie "F1," starring Brad Pitt, has concluded in Abu Dhabi, marking a significant milestone in the project. The film, produced by Warner Bros. and Apple, aims for a realistic portrayal of Formula One racing, with a release set for June 2024. The film features Pitt as Sonny Hayes, a fictional driver, and includes input from real F1 drivers, particularly Lewis Hamilton, who is also a producer. The production has integrated itself into the F1 environment, capturing scenes during actual races and receiving support from fans and teams. Delays from last year's Hollywood strikes did not jeopardize the project, as filming continued with a second unit. Producers believe the extra time allowed for a more polished final product, hoping the film will attract a broader audience to the sport, similar to the impact of the "Drive to Survive" series.
