F1 movie sequel confirmed, 'ultra realistic' plot to follow predictable one-team domination

A sequel to the hotly anticipated F1 movie starring Brad Pitt and Damson Idris has been confirmed, with F1 Two set to feature an ‘ultra realistic’ plot in which one team runs away with the championship.

Set in the 2026 season, Apex GP will emerge as the dominant force in F1 after acquiring Mercedes’ new rocket-powered V6 hybrid engine and hiring Sir Adrian Newey to instantly smash the sport’s new aerodynamic regulations.

That devastating combo will hand the team an unbeatable, one-second-per-lap advantage that will be obvious after an hour of pre-season testing and immediately kill off any hope of a competitive spectacle.

Drivers Sonny Hayes and Joshua Pearce will therefore be tossed into a two horse championship battle, but the chief scriptwriter has insisted that Hayes should suffer two early DNFs due to gearbox problems and an inhibiting, age-related muscular strain, with a lack of rear-end grip for his aggressive driving style effectively ending his title bid by May.

With little jeopardy on track, the second and third acts of the film will be presented as a gripping political drama that will cover the FIA banning laughter, the drivers attempting to book a paddle court in their spare time, and F1 controversially replacing Monza with a street race in Venice.

“F1 Two will be just like F1 One, except all the Hollywood stuff that makes it work for a mainstream audience will be replaced with the gritty realism that often makes the pinnacle of motorsport a bit boring, actually,” said an insider. “Think Joker or The Batman, but with sillier costumes.

“We can’t wait to bring the intricacies of tyre management, edge-of-your-seat track limits violations, and Alpine’s ability to repeatedly shoot itself in the foot to theatres worldwide.

“And you’re not going to believe what’s in store for F1 Three. It’s a musical, and let me tell you Charles Leclerc can sing.”
