The new F1 trailer has star power, fast cars and product placement

The high-octane racing film F1 hits theaters this June and there's a ">brand-new trailer to prove it. The new footage shows more of the story and gives a deeper dive into Brad Pitt's main character.

There's still gobs of actual Formula 1 racing, as the movie has received extensive involvement from the organization. It looks fast, frenetic and fun. There's also plenty of product placement during these scenes, which may be annoying to some but could add to the realism for others. In addition to F1 sponsors you'd see during a real race, we spotted logos for Shark/Ninja and Expensify on the fictional team that features in the film.

Brad Pitt is the primary star here, but the film also features Damson Idris, Javier Bardem, Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies and Kim Bodnia. F1 is directed by Joseph Kosinski, who helmed the box office monster Top Gun: Maverick. He also made Tron: Legacy, though has no involvement with the upcoming Tron: Ares.

Ehren Kruger wrote the screenplay, who penned the aforementioned Top Gun sequel. The legendary Hans Zimmer created the score. This is certainly a high-end production.

Formula 1 has been growing in popularity these past few years, with a surge in filmmaking about this type of racing. Netflix released a documentary series about the organization called Formula 1: Drive to Survive, which is credited in growing the sport's audience away from Europe.
