Brad Pitt and Lewis Hamilton React to F1 Sequel Talks

The F1 movie 2025, starring Brad Pitt and directed by Joseph Kosinski, has taken the box office by storm. With sleek visuals and immersive racing sequences filmed during real Grand Prix weekends, it’s no surprise that audiences are already asking for a sequel.

Brad Pitt on Returning as Joshua Pierce

In an interview with The National, Brad Pitt addressed the speculation around a sequel. While he’s open to returning to the role of former F1 driver Joshua Pierce, Pitt emphasized the importance of staying true to the heart of the original story—the underdog team’s championship journey. “If we continue, it has to be for the right reasons. It’s about the characters, not just the speed,” Pitt explained.

Lewis Hamilton Urges Patience

Lewis Hamilton, a seven-time Formula One World Champion and one of the film’s producers, has taken a more cautious stance. In recent statements, Hamilton expressed that the team should not rush into production on a sequel. “Let people absorb this one first,” he said, noting the significance of letting the story “simmer” before jumping into a follow-up.

Hamilton’s role in shaping the project extended beyond racing realism. He was deeply involved in behind-the-scenes decisions, ensuring the movie captured the grit and glamour of F1 without resorting to Hollywood clichés.

A Box Office and Critical Hit

F1 debuted to massive acclaim, praised for its authenticity, adrenaline-pumping action, and grounded character arcs. The movie’s use of real Formula One circuits, including Silverstone and Spa-Francorchamps, gave fans a rare cinematic view of the sport’s intensity. Director Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick) brought his signature visual style to the project, making every race sequence a visceral experience.

What’s Next for the F1 Universe?

While no sequel has been officially confirmed, the appetite is clearly there. Fans are split—some want to dive back into Joshua Pierce’s story, while others echo Hamilton’s sentiment: give the original room to breathe. Apple and Warner Bros., the film’s co-distributors, have yet to comment on future plans.

For now, F1 (2025) continues its strong theatrical run and is poised to dominate awards season with its groundbreaking approach to sports storytelling.
