Formula 1 returns to the cinema with Brad Pitt and Lewis Hamilton

Hollywood is preparing a new Formula 1 movie, on a much bigger budget than Rush, produced by Apple, with Brad Pitt in the lead role – as well as a role for Lewis Hamilton.

The new blockbuster of American cinema takes place in the microcosm of Formula 1 and its plot should be as follows: The protagonist Brad Pitt is a former F1 driver who returns after years to lead a new talent – but at the same time he succumbs to his desire after a final moment of racing fame.

Lewis Hamilton is expected to have a small role in the film, who recently announced that he had the opportunity to star in the new Top Gun: Maverick, which hits theaters in May, as well as for an audition role in Hollywood -Movie. “I don’t know if I’ll ever be good in the film, but I’ll try,” said the Englishman.

Pete, for his part, is a huge motorsport fan. He’s previously invested in a MotoGP team, narrated Mark Neal’s “Hitting The Apex” for the same sport and was involved in the early stages of “Ford v Ferrari” focusing on Lehmann’s 24 Hours – a film with Matt Damon and Christian Bale.

The production of the – currently anonymous – film is said to have a budget of 130-140 million dollars, which will make it significantly more expensive than the film “Rush”, which described the legendary duel between Nicky Launda and James Hunt in 1976.

It is telling that unprecedented competition erupted between the largest studios and streaming services in Hollywood for its production. MGM, Paramount, Sony and Universal were among the first to enter the competition, followed by Apple, Amazon, Disney and Netflix.

Well-informed sources in Hollywood say the competition was won by Apple Original Films – which is already working with Brad Pitt to produce a thriller starring George Clooney.

Directed by Jerry Bruckheimer, who has experience in motorsport films: In 1990 he directed Days of Thunder, which was developed at NASCAR and starred with Tom Cruise.

Red Bull finally decides on Verstappen’s team

After several significant personnel changes in the team, Max Verstappen has finally learned who he will be working with in the Red Bull pits for the new season.

At the end of last year, it became known that three key members of the four-time world champion’s headquarters had left. According to De Telegraaf, Jeff Ayton replaced Verstappen’s vehicle control engineer Michael Manning, who left the team after the 2025 season. He has previously worked with other Red Bull drivers and worked temporarily with Verstappen in Manning’s absence last year.

Verstappen’s former engine mechanic David Mart has moved to Audi and his replacement at Red Bull has not yet been determined. Performance engineer Tom Hart is also leaving the team; He will join Williams but will continue to work with the Milton Keynes-based team for a while.

Changes also occurred among mechanics. After Matt Culler moved to the position of Audi’s chief mechanic, Verstappen was replaced as his first mechanic by his twin brother John Culler. He is well known to Max, who has previously held a similar position on the other side of the Red Bull pits, working alongside Sergio Perez, Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda.

Despite rumors about the winter break, Gianpiero Lambiase will remain Verstappen’s race engineer for another season.

Ferrari will have a red-white livery. Images of the Scuderia jersey have been revealed

Photos of the allegedly leaked Ferrari F1 team jerseys for the 2026 season have appeared on the internet.

The published photos show a red T-shirt with white inserts.

Ferrari will officially announce its color on January 23. At the same time, some sources reported that the design of the 2026 car should be “pleasantly surprising”.

Given that Ferrari and other teams have used darker shades of their primary colors (red in the Scuderia’s case) in recent years, the introduction of red and white team uniforms could signal a move towards a lighter color scheme.

The same idea is put forward in a video published on the Scuderia’s official account.

F1 champion: “We may see a complete surprise in the championship fight this year”

F1 champion: “We may see a complete surprise in the championship fight this year”

Former Formula 1 champion Damon Hill has warned fans that the winner of the 2026 season could be a real surprise.

The current large-scale changes to the regulations are among the biggest in the history of the sport. They are expected to change the balance of power in the starting grid for a long time.

Hill is confident that the pundits have no idea who will start the new season with the best cars because the cars will be completely different, even in terms of handling.

Particular attention of the expert is drawn to Aston Martin, which was able to make a leap from the middle of the table after signing Adrian Newey from Red Bull.

Hill noted the following about Lando Norris’ chances of defending his title:

“All bets are off for this year. We don’t know who will be in uniform. You can’t automatically assume that pilots who performed well under previous regulations can now do it again.”

The cars are completely different. “50% of engine power is now provided by the electric battery, and this affects the way cars are controlled, their aerodynamics and their design.”

Hill added that the season could be a complete surprise:

“Yes, you can [ожидать смену эпохи в Ф1 в этом году]. We may see a complete surprise. It’s like Jenson Button beating Brown; Everyone was surprised because they understood the rules better.

“And the master of understanding the rules is Adrian Newey, who went to Aston Martin. He left Red Bull and Max Verstappen, Christian Horner also left that team. But he went to Aston Martin.”

“So we’re waiting for him to wave his magic wand over Aston Martin. And it could happen.”
