A new and final trailer has dropped for the F1 movie ahead of its release in June, with the teaser referencing an incident between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen at Silverstone in 2021.

Promotion for the F1 movie was in full swing at the Miami Grand Prix, with the full artist lineup for the soundtrack revealed during the race weekend, whilst star of the film Kerry Condon was also in attendance.

The F1 movie soundtrack boasts award-winning artists such as Ed Sheeran, ROSÉ, Burna Boy and Tate McRae, with their music accompanying the cast of Hollywood stars such as Brad Pitt, Javier Bardem and Damson Idris.

Now, a full-length trailer has dropped for the movie directed by Joseph Kosinski, which played up the rivalry between APXGP stars Sonny Hayes and Joshua Pearce, played by Pitt and Idris.

One part of the trailer seemed to reference Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen’s infamous 2021 crash at Copse corner during the British Grand Prix, with the two APXGP team-mates coming together at Silverstone corner Woodcote, 1:27 seconds into the trailer - where even David Croft's iconic commentary from that real-life incident features.

When will the F1 movie be released?

The movie is set to launch internationally on June 25 and will release in North America on June 27, with the new trailer also showing just how much detail the filmmakers have gone into to mirror the world of F1.

F1's movie will feature the reality and glamour of the sport equally, with the new trailer showing scenes from the factory as well as a huge party.

The trailer also provided an insight into some of the relationships that will dominate the narrative of the F1 movie, with Condon and Pitt’s characters shown having an intense conversation over a pint at the start of the trailer.

Fans will also be familiar with several shots from the trailer, including Pitt and Idris alongside the real F1 grid for the national anthem at Silverstone, whilst finally offering a glimpse inside the 11th APXGP garage that was spotted in the pit lane during filming last year.
