The F1 movie is expected to be released on digital streaming services later this year, according to a report from When To Stream, with an official announcement expected shortly.

The film is led by Brad Pitt, who portrays nomadic racer Sonny Hayes alongside co-star Damson Idris, who plays young rookie driver Joshua Pearce. 

Hayes is convinced by his former team-mate and owner of the fictional team APXGP, Rubens Cervantes, played by Javier Bardem, to return to Formula 1 to help pull the team out of a performance slump.

Directed by Joseph Kosinski, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, and co-produced by seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton, the film has seen staggering success since its 25 June release, surpassing $500million at the global box office.

Now, according to the credible outlet When to Stream, the film will be released on Apple TV+ on 22 August. Here, the technology company will continue to measure its success as it leaves the big screen. It's worth noting that this release date is yet to be confirmed by Apple.

"Four years in the making—what a journey it’s been," Hamilton posted on Instagram at the time of the premiere. "I’m incredibly grateful to everyone at Apple and Warner Bros. for believing in us and partnering with such heart and vision. To Joe and Jerry—thank you. I’ve learned so much from both of you, and it’s truly been an honour to work alongside you.

"These were taken on our very first day on track, with Brad at Silverstone looking into Copse Corner. What a moment. One of those memories that stick with you.

"We’ve poured everything we have into this film. I really hope you’ll feel that when you watch it. We gave it our all and we can’t wait for you to see it. Go check it out as soon as you can, it’s out today in the UK and out in the US on Friday. Hope you love it."

F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali recently gave details on the impact the Pitt-led film has had on the championship.

"Driven by both an exciting season on track and cultural buzz around the F1 movie, F1 drew its largest reach ever on social media in the second quarter with over 20 billion total social impressions, growing over 100% compared to the second quarter of the last year," he explained on the earnings call.

"In June, the movie was released to the world. The movie was the largest global opening weekend ever for a Brad Pitt film and was shown on more than 44,000 screens across 80 markets.

"In its first five weeks, the F1 movie saw global box office sales over $500million, becoming the highest-grossing Apple film to date. The film will be released on Apple TV later this year and will continue to strengthen fan engagement with our sport."

As an Apple Original Film, it will be streamed on Apple TV+.
