‘F1’ is revealing a new side every day. From special cameos to real-life racing experiences, the movie is already sending shockwaves. Lewis Hamilton‘s project is aimed to hit the theatres in 2025. One must admit, the 7x world champion has done a commendable job co-producing the movie with Hollywood veteran Jerry Bruckheimer. With a star-studded cast and a gripping plot, ‘F1’ is on its way to ‘serve’.

The movie is filmed on real racetracks. The teaser premiered at Silverstone on July 7. Everyone has high hopes for the film. Brad Pitt looks outstanding as F1 driver Sonny Hayes, and so does Damson Idris as Joshua Pearce. Their fictitious team APX GP is adding more flavor to the essence of F1. Giving further information about the film, Hamilton has shared some insight.

In a recent interview with WWD, Lewis Hamilton enthused: “You’ve never seen anything like this race movie. I mean, I think racing movies have been very hard to capture in the past, and I think some people have done good jobs. They did a great job with ‘Rush,’ for example. Joe has such an amazing eye and the technology we’re using, cameras that have all been specially designed for this, capture racing and its speed,” the 39-year-old added.

And fans will trust their idol. “So hopefully, I think you’re gonna be sitting there, really feeling like you’re in the car with us, and feeling exhilarated as we feel in the car,” the Brit further added. One can expect Kosinski’s award-winning Top Gun: Maverick touch in the new F1 movie. Merging the experience from the world of fighter jets into the world of racing cars, Kosinski is brewing up a ‘masterpiece’.

The aerial cinematography in “Top Gun: Maverick” broke new ground with advanced technology and creative vision. Claudio Miranda and his team used top-notch Fujinon lenses and Sony Venice cameras to capture thrilling scenes directly on set. These lenses were dependable and delivered clear, stunning visuals even during fast-paced aerial stunts, enhancing the film’s action-packed sequences. Fujinon played a crucial role in achieving cinematic excellence, ensuring every shot was dynamic and impactful in this high-energy movie.

The making of ‘F1’ applies a similar approach, utilizing advanced technology and creative vision to capture high-speed racing scenes and G-forces. Academy Award winner Claudio Miranda had chosen Fujinon for the Top Gun movies for an important reason. “There’s no oddball distortion when zooming. There’s no vignetting, there’s no softening towards the edges, it’s all straight,” he had revealed. The main motive is that the film must be IMAX-worthy. One can expect no difference in quality this time as well. While Kosinski’s using all his filmmaking mastery, Claudio Miranda’s seamless cinematography will be the icing on the cake.
