Renowned composer Hans Zimmer is set to score the upcoming Formula 1 movie produced by Lewis Hamilton and starring Brad Pitt. The movie, a collaboration between Formula 1 and Apple Original Films, will be released internationally on June 25, 2025, and in North America on June 27, 2025.

Zimmer, known for his dramatic and impactful film scores in movies such as Interstellar, Inception, and Gladiator, announced his involvement at the Austrian Grand Prix. At the event, he also performed the Austrian national anthem on his electric guitar, underscoring his excitement for the project.

This isn't Zimmer's first foray into the world of Formula 1 films. He previously worked on the iconic movie Rush, which chronicled the rivalry between Niki Lauda and James Hunt. Zimmer's collaboration with Hamilton on this new project builds on their relationship, which has been developing since 2019 when they first met at the Singapore Grand Prix.

Zimmer's participation in the new F1 movie is a significant addition, raising expectations for the film's soundtrack. "Having Hans Zimmer as a part of the movie only increases expectations," noted fans on social media, reflecting the general sentiment of excitement.

Zimmer's history with Hamilton includes a visit to the composer's studio, where the two discussed the potential for future collaborations. This long-standing relationship likely influenced Zimmer's decision to join the film, adding a layer of personal investment to the project.

With Zimmer's involvement, the new F1 movie promises to deliver a compelling auditory experience that complements the high-octane action on the tracks. Fans are eagerly anticipating how Zimmer's score will enhance the storytelling and emotional depth of the film.
