The film ‘F1’, starring Brad Pitt and Damson Idris as Sonny Hayes and Joshua Pearce, an unusual ‘has-been’ and rookie driver pair, will be released on June 25.
Fans and gamers can now play as Hamilton racing for the Scuderia and should they wish, also jump into Brad Pitt’s seat thanks to his role as an F1 driver in the upcoming Apple movie.
Having spent 12 seasons racing with Mercedes, Hamilton made the monumental career decision to switch to the legendary Italian outfit for 2025 and beyond.
F1 25 integrates F1 movie into latest game release
To celebrate the 40-year-old’s shock move, F1 25 featured the champion as the cover star for the Iconic Edition, an alternative version of the game which is available to purchase alongside the regular standard release which has been uninterrupted since 2008.
One exciting element available on the Iconic Edition is the option to race with the fictional APXGP F1 team, a feature which can not be accessed on the standard version of the game, although is set to become available via downloadable content.
Players who purchase the F1 25 Iconic Edition will have the opportunity to adopt the role of either APXGP drivers, Sonny Hayes or Joshua Pearce, and play out scenarios from the movie after its’ release next month.
The upgraded gameplay doesn’t end there, fan-favourite story mode ‘Braking Point’ will also return having been gone from the racing series since F1 23, with players able to begin the next chapter in the story of fictional team, Konnersport.
Like the F1 film, F1 25 takes pleasure in its realism, having included five new circuits to the F1 calendar: Bahrain, Miami, Melbourne, Suzuka, and Imola.
