Brad Pitt, who has played everything from a time-traveling lunatic to Death itself, now trades existential dread for engine oil in F1. Cast as a washed-up Formula 1 legend coaxed back onto the track to guide a greenhorn racer, he is essentially Mr. Miyagi with a V8 engine. The plot is greased with grit, testosterone, and just enough midlife crisis to fuel the box office. And while the tires squeal on-screen, the real friction lies somewhere else entirely.

Moviegoers are scanning the streaming lanes, anticipating a smooth Netflix debut for Pitt’s latest blend of speed, drama, and driver’s angst.

No, the high-octane motion picture F1 will not be available on Netflix. Instead, the film is scheduled for a full-throttle theatrical release on June 27, 2025. Streaming enthusiasts can pump the brakes, as F1 is not sprinting toward a digital debut, at least not immediately. Produced by Apple Original Films, the movie will zoom into streaming only after its big-screen pit stop. So, if one prefers recliners to racecars, some patience will be required.

Following its theatrical victory lap, F1 will eventually stream on Apple TV Plus, the official home of Brad Pitt’s helmeted comeback. The film, which follows a retired driver mentoring a hotheaded rookie, blends tire smoke with emotional tension and probably a few midlife reflections. Shot during real Formula 1 races and involving teams like Mercedes-AMG Petronas, F1 is attempting to combine action with authenticity, without ever parking itself on Netflix’s virtual grid.

While the upcoming F1 movie may not be racing onto Netflix anytime soon, there is still a thrilling lineup of Formula 1 content for fans to enjoy on the platform.

While F1 the movie may not be screeching into Netflix’s library, the streaming service still offers a fuel-injected fix for Formula 1 fanatics. Formula 1: Drive to Survive remains the reigning champion, delivering more off-track drama than a group chat with exes. Add to that Senna, a powerful documentary on racing legend Ayrton Senna, which proves that real-life speed demons cry too. Netflix is basically Formula 1's emotional support pit crew at this point.

For those craving more high-speed chaos, Netflix also features F1: The Academy, spotlighting the next generation of female racers who can out-drive, out-talk, and outmaneuver anyone with a steering wheel and a grudge. With the series showcasing the drama of the races, as well as the personal stories and high stakes for these incredible drivers and the teams around them, fans want to know everything about F1: The Academy. So, while F1 the movie gears up elsewhere, Netflix still has enough content to keep viewers emotionally oversteering until the credits roll.
