The film \u2014 directed by Top Gun: Maverick\u2019s Joseph Kosinski and starring Pitt alongside Damson Idris \u2014 opened globally in late June and quickly became Apple\u2019s biggest box office success to date.<\/p>\n

It has grossed more than $928 million worldwide, including $27.7 million at the Australian box office, where it ranks fifth for the year. The film is now the highest-grossing sports movie of all time globally, as well as the biggest box office success of Pitt\u2019s career and for Apple<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now, local fans who missed the theatrical run \u2014 or those keen for a second viewing \u2014 can finally watch the Brad Pitt-led drama at home.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Where to watch in Australia<\/p>\n

F1: The Movie is available to rent or buy in Australia via Apple TV+, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube Movies & Google TV. Rental is priced at $24.99 AUD, with digital purchase at $29.99 AUD.<\/p>\n

A physical DVD and Blu-ray release is expected later this year, though a release date has not yet been confirmed.<\/p>\n

The story behind the film<\/p>\n

The film follows fictional team APEX GP, on the brink of collapse after rookie Joshua Pearce (Idris) struggles to make an impact. Enter veteran driver Sonny Hayes (Pitt), coaxed out of a decades-long retirement after a career-ending crash.<\/p>\n

Shot at live F1 events in 2023 and 2024 using modified F2 cars fitted with custom cameras, the production has been praised as one of the most authentic racing films ever made.<\/p>\n

Box office boost for the sport<\/p>\n

The film\u2019s success wasn\u2019t confined to cinemas. Liberty Media credited its release as a key driver of Formula 1\u2019s record $1.878 billion AUD quarterly revenue<\/a>, fuelling a $786 million AUD payout to teams.<\/p>\n

All teams benefited from the surge, with the one-off Hollywood bump joining sponsorship growth and media rights gains in pushing the sport\u2019s finances to new highs.<\/p>\n

F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali called the film a \u201ccultural moment\u201d for the championship, drawing in new audiences beyond the sport\u2019s traditional fanbase.<\/p>\n

Streaming momentum<\/p>\n

The streaming release marks another milestone for Apple, which is expected to transition F1: The Movie onto its Apple TV+ subscription service later in the year. Industry speculation has already linked the film\u2019s success to Apple\u2019s wider sports ambitions, with the company reportedly preparing a nine-figure bid for F1\u2019s US broadcasting rights once ESPN\u2019s deal expires in 2025.<\/p>\n

For now, Aussie fans can finally sit back on the couch, fire up their surround sound, and watch Brad Pitt go wheel-to-wheel with Max Verstappen, Oscar Piastri and the rest \u2014 at least on the big screen.<\/p>\n
