The Movie’ at home now

There’s still one week until Formula One is back from summer break, but you can get your racing fix this weekend by streaming the “F1” movie at home.

“F1” raced into theaters in late June, topping the box office. Now, over 50 days since debuting, you can watch “F1: The Movie” from the comfort of your own home.

Brad Pitt stars in “F1” as Sonny Hayes, a F1 prodigy returning to the sport after suffering severe injuries in a crash 30 years earlier. His former F1 teammate (played by Javier Bardem) now owns APXGP, an underdog F1 team, and taps Sonny to help save the team by the end of the current season. Sonny’s teammate, the young hotshot rookie Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), becomes his biggest rival on the grid as they work together and clash while trying to bring victory to APXGP.

The movie, directed by “Top Gun: Maverick” mastermind Joseph Kosinski, was made with the cooperation of the FIA, the governing body of Formula One, so racing sequences and other race week events were filmed at Grand Prix during the 2023 and 2024 seasons. F1 drivers and personnel, including the film’s producer and seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, appear in the movie as a result.

‘F1’ movie streaming date:

“F1” is streaming on-demand on platforms like Prime Video now! “F1: The Movie” was released on digital Aug. 22.

How to watch ‘F1’ on Prime Video:

“F1” is available for digital purchase on Prime Video. The film costs $19.99 to buy.

While you won’t have to be a paid Amazon Prime member to buy “F1: The Movie,” you will need at least a free Amazon account; that way, you can return to watch the “F1” movie whenever you want to.
