The soap opera Grand Prix (1966), the team spirit of Fast Company (1979), the ambition of Days of Thunder (1990), the big business of ford v ferrari (2019), and so on are just a few examples of the stock approaches that most racing films take to the story that takes place in between time on the track.  

All of them are present in Formula One, along with a strong dose of Rush (Ron Howard's 2013 movie, which was inspired on the rivalry between F1 racers james Hunt and Niki Lauda).  Sonny Hayes is enlisted by Ruben Cervantes to return to Formula One racing for his struggling Apex Grand Prix team, which has failed to win a race.

Race car driving has typically been interpreted as an extension of masculine impulses in the lengthy history of racing-themed movies. From Gran Turismo (2023) to The Crowd Roars (1932), these movies explore racing from the perspectives of hot-blooded racers who give up everything for the chance to live forever, addicts with a death wish, or adrenaline junkies. In F1: The movie (2025), Brad Pitt's former driver and Damson Idris's newcomer to the scene are competing against each other just as much as they are against one another.

F1 stands out from the rest because of filmmaker Joseph Kosinski, who is best known for Top Gun: Maverick (2022), Oblivion (2013), and Tron: Legacy (2010). Kosinski is similarly enamored with the exact, heroic beauty of a flawless lap.
