Brad Pitt stars as veteran driver Sonny Hayes in F1 The Movie, with Damson Idris playing rookie teammate Joshua Pearce. They race for APXGP, a fictional Formula 1 team whose owner, engineers, board members and crew round out the film’s cast.
Lead drivers: Brad Pitt and Damson Idris
- Brad Pitt as Sonny Hayes: A former Formula 1 prospect whose career was disrupted by a crash. Decades later, he is a racer for hire when he is recruited to help APXGP.
- Damson Idris as Joshua Pearce: APXGP’s rookie driver and Hayes’s teammate. Their partnership brings rivalry as well as a chance for the struggling team to improve.
The story follows the drivers within the real Formula 1 championship, but APXGP itself is fictional. Apple’s official film announcement describes Hayes’s return to the sport and the team’s effort to compete.

APXGP’s owner, leadership and crew
| Actor | Character | Role in the story |
|---|---|---|
| Javier Bardem | Ruben Cervantes | Owner of the struggling APXGP team, and Hayes’s former teammate and friend. |
| Kerry Condon | Kate | APXGP’s technical director. |
| Kim Bodnia | Kaspar Molinski | APXGP team principal, previously associated with Ferrari. |

Formula 1’s role-by-role cast guide identifies Condon’s character as technical director in its article text; a subheading on that page uses a conflicting title, “race director.”
Hayes’s earlier racing connections and Pearce’s family
- Shea Whigham as Chip Hart: Owner of Chip Hart Racing, where Hayes races before returning to Formula 1.
- Sarah Niles as Bernadette: Pearce’s mother.
What to know about the cast and production
Joseph Kosinski directed the film, and Ehren Kruger wrote the screenplay. Apple names Jerry Bruckheimer, Chad Oman, Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner and Lewis Hamilton among the producers. Formula 1’s cast guide also describes Hamilton’s involvement in preparing the drivers and shaping dialogue.
#1 Best Overall
- Runtime: 155 minutes
Apple’s 2024 cast announcement included Samson Kayo, but Formula 1’s later cast guide does not identify a character for him. The available role-by-role information therefore does not support assigning him a specific role.
