MSC Cruises has recently announced that they have partnered with Formula 1® racing where their logo will be featured on various things in the film, including on the fictional APXGP car and team kit, as well as on the track at the races included in the storyline.
This highly anticipated film will feature stars such as Brad Pitt, a former driver returning to Formula 1®, and Damson Idris, his teammate. The feature has been filmed during the Grand Prix weekends as the team competes against the titans of the sport. In addition to these stars, they will also be working with Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, Tobias Menzies, Sarah Niles, Kim Bodnia and Samson Kayo.
The Formula 1® film will be released globally in theatres and IMAX by Warner Bros. Pictures in North America on the 27th of June 2025 and internationally beginning on the 25th of June 2025.
MSC Cruises is now a Formula 1® Global Partner, signing a multi-year deal running until the end of the 2026 FIA Formula 1® World Championship. The new partnership brings together two global leaders to help drive change through their passions for excellence, sustainability, and global entertainment.
