F1 Teaser: Brad Pitt Promises Thrilling Racing Sequences in Top Gun: Maverick Director’s Film, WATCH
Apple and Warner Bros. have released the first teaser trailer for the much-awaited Brad Pitt picture ‘F1‘ one year before its planned June 25, 2025, offshore release, in a calculated attempt to build excitement. Under the direction of Joseph Kosinski, who is well-known for his work on ‘Top Gun: Maverick,’ Brad Pitt is seen in the teaser as a Formula 1 driver who is well-versed in the competitive world of racing.
In the teaser trailer, Pitt’s character, alongside Kerry Condon who plays his engineer, engages in a gripping exchange focused on building a car designed for fierce competition rather than safety. “We need to build our car for combat,” Pitt’s character asserts, emphasizing the importance of outmanoeuvring rivals on the track’s challenging corners rather than straightaways. Condon’s character responds with concern about the safety implications, to which Pitt retorts, “Who said anything about safe?”
Seen against the upbeat backdrop of Queen’s ‘We Will Rock You,’ the teaser features exhilarating first-person racing scenes that allude to the heart-pounding excitement and inherent dangers of the sport. The teaser for ‘F1’ ends on a cliffhanger, hinting at the danger and intensity viewers might expect.
