First Glance: “F1” Official Trailer

Only three years removed from making the $1.5 billion mega-hit “Top Gun: Maverick”, director Joseph Kosinski is back in a cockpit of a different kind. This time he’s entering the fuel-injected world of Formula One racing with the aptly titled “F1”. Joined by an all-star cast of actors and real-life drivers, Kosinski and company have made a movie with a broad appeal. Whether you’re a racing fan or not, “F1” looks terrific. Just check out the killer new trailer for proof.

Brad Pitt plays Sonny Hayes, a former F1 driver who retired following a devastating crash. He’s persuaded by his old friend and Formula One team owner Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem) to come out of retirement and help mentor a young hotshot prodigy (Damson Idris). While the chance to race again is too good to pass up, the kid’s cockiness proves to be more than Sonny bargained for. The great Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, and Shea Whigham also star in what looks to be an exhilarating experience.

“F1” races into theaters on June 27th. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.
