When is 'F1' coming to streaming? Here's our best guess
The Apple Original sports drama sees "greatest that never was" Formula 1 racer Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) recruited by an ex-teammate (Javier Bardem) to help bring his struggling F1 franchise, APXGP, back from the brink. Sonny takes him up on the offer, but butts heads with the team's hotshot youngster, Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris).
It's a sports movie with drama both on and off the track, and plenty of thrilling action — fellow TG writer Malcolm McMillan went so far as to proclaim it "the movie of the summer — and it's earned solid reviews and has performed well at the box office so far.
If you'd prefer to skip the trip to the theater and see the movie at home, we unfortunately do not yet have an official "F1" streaming date. However, that hasn't stopped me from trying to predict when the movie might come to Apple TV Plus: here's my best guess.
At the time of writing, the only way to see Brad Pitt and Joseph Kosinski's "F1" movie is by heading to your nearest movie theater, and we'll likely have to wait a little while before it's available to stream at home.
That's because "F1" only hit the big screen on June 27. And if you're hoping to watch it at home as soon as possible, "F1" will presumably first release on Premium Video-on-Demand (PVOD) storefronts before coming to a streaming service.
While we don't have a confirmed "F1" streaming date yet, we at least know where the movie will be available first. As it's an Apple Original Film, you can expect to stream "F1: The Movie" on Apple TV Plus.

Unlike with other streaming services, it's a little trickier to predict when "F1" might come to streaming. My best guess right now is that the "F1" movie will be available on Apple TV Plus at some point in fall 2025.
That's not a very precise window, but the wait for past Apple Original Films has varied wildly. For example, we waited 100 days for Ridley Scott's "Napoleon" to come to streaming, 84 days for "Killers of the Flower Moon", and just 70 days for "Argylle" to come to Apple's streaming service.
Greg Berlanti's underrated period romantic comedy "Fly Me to the Moon" took a lot longer, arriving just over four months after it originally premiered.
If we split the difference between and assume an approximate 85-day wait, we might see the "F1" movie streaming on Apple TV Plus on or around September 20, 2025.
Of course, that's just my very unofficial guess. I'll be sure to update this article as and when we get more concrete info or a confirmed "F1" streaming date.

‘Top Gun' on wheels: Inside the high-octane race to create the sound of ‘F1'
They called it "Top Gun on wheels." That's because the aim of F1: The Movie, the Formula 1 racing film directed by Joseph Kosinski, was to provide the same kind of high-octane speed and intensity as the high-flying Maverick sequel. More from Gold Derby Dinosaurs rule the earth: 'Jurassic World Rebirth' jolts July 4 holiday box office (update) Brad Pitt's 'F1' cruises to $55.6 million debut, 'M3GAN 2.0' stumbles with $10 million 'Everything is very fast,' supervising sound editor Al Nelson tells Gold Derby. 'But I think one of the other things that intrigued Joe was that you're not only competing with the other teams at Mercedes, Ferrari, and Red Bull, but within each team you have two drivers who are competing against each other, which is what our film focuses on.' Nelson, an Oscar winner for sound for Maverick, was part of a sound team that included supervising sound editor Gwen Whittle, re-recording mixers Juan Peralta and Gary Rizzo, and production sound mixer Gareth John. You've got Brad Pitt's hotheaded has-been, Sonny, who doesn't want to give up the position to Damson Idris' Joshua, the cocky rookie. 'If you're in F1, you want to be the fastest and the best racer in the world, and so does your teammate,' adds Nelson. 'And so there's some challenge and infighting going on.' Formula 1 is considered the biggest and loudest racing spectacle: a global sport that shuttles its drivers week after week to 24 races in 21 countries across five continents. And each location has its own flavor, whether it's the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, the Temple of Speed at Monza, the Suzuki circuit for the Japanese Grand Prix, Las Vegas, or the finale at Abu Dhabi. However, unlike the sound for every other film, this one amounted to controlled chaos, as the crew embedded itself in the 2024 F1 racing circuit. They captured the actual sounds of the real cars on every live track, alongside the energetic pit crews and dedicated crowds, ready to improvise at all times. 'In a Formula 1 car, you're fairly contained, it's like a little cocoon,' sound mixer John tells Gold Derby. 'They actually mold the seat to your body. But F1 is obsessively concerned with weight to keep the car efficient and balanced. Everything is very dangerous.' Yet it made more sense to put Pitt and Idris in F2 cars (specially engineered and built by the Mercedes AMG Formula 1 team), which could be fitted with custom Sony cameras and DPA mics and transmitters. This allowed the actors to race at 200 miles-per-hour on F1 tracks, with the sound team later replacing the F2 recordings with the proper F1 sounds. 'We spent a lot of time capturing the authentic sounds, and when you go from that documentary approach, then you get into the sound design," Nelson explains. "How does it sound if you're a driver? Or how does it sound sitting in front of that big Imax screen being Sonny going 200 miles an hour down the street?" From there, the team played a lot with augmenting the recordings. 'These are V6 hybrid engines, so they've got a higher, more technical sound to them. They don't have that beefy growl; they're more wound-up," explains Nelson. "But we wanted to eke out of them as much of that power by finding other frequencies and really filling the room with the lower end of it. When they go by, you feel that punch in the gut that you can only get standing there at turn three at Silverstone when the car comes accelerating by. And so we used a lot of additional low end sweeteners. It was kind of the same thing we did on Maverick, where this is what a jet sounds like. This is what a Formula 1 car sounds like, and this is what it's like to be there.' The film evolved based on how the season progressed, with some wild days at the track, and each race was intentionally different. "Silverstone is very much a kind of bare knuckles F1 race and there's no music," Nelson says. 'You're in the seat with the [drivers] feeling that race. Then there are more montage-based races. Vegas is more of a muted, angry race, and Abu Dhabi is the big climax, and we wanted to feel like at any moment, with either Joshua or Sonny, everything could be lost." The key for the team was making sure the audience was always in the passenger seat, along for the breakneck ride. '[Composer] Hans [Zimmer] has just got this pulse going, and we are right there, full throttle," says Nelson. "There are a lot of turns, and on turn five, which is really sharp and tight, there's a lot of bunching up. There's a lot of passing and spin outs, and a lot of drama that we wanted to depict authentically, but with as much energy as possible.'

‘Superman' flies into first place on its opening day, obliterating any competition
'Superman' didn't just fly — the film almost destroyed the competition. The movie was the superhero of Friday's box office with The Man of Steel rocketing to the top spot. On its opening day, it raked in a heroic $56.5 million, according to The Numbers. The Post called the film — 'entertaining,' and its star David Corenswet 'an instantly likable upgrade,' but said its director, James Gunn, 'goes overboard with silliness at times.' It had the second largest opening day in 2025 behind 'A Minecraft Movie,' and is slated to earn up to a total of $120 million this weekend. 3 'Superman' star David Corenswet graduated from Juilliard in 2016. ©Warner Bros/Courtesy Everett Collection 'Jurassic World Rebirth' came in second, taking in $11.37 million on Friday, its second in theaters. The prehistoric flick, the seventh installment in the 'Jurassic Park' franchise, had a reported production budget of $180 million. 3 'Jurassic World Rebirth' is Scarlett Johansson's first film in the 'Jurassic Park' franchise. ©Universal/Courtesy Everett Collection Landing in third place was 'F1: The Movie,' with sales of $3.7 million. The Brad Pitt-driven film has already become Apple's highest-grossing ever, dethroning 2023's 'Napoleon' by earning $293 million globally in just 10 days. 3 'F1: The Movie,' starring Brad Pitt as a Formula One driver, is Apple's highest grossing film. AP 'How to Train Your Dragon' moved down a spot to fourth, with $2.3 million in revenue on its fifth Friday in theaters. Disney and Pixar's 'Elio' also fell a notch to fifth, but still with a healthy $1.2 million-dollar take.

All the Men Jennifer Aniston Has Dated or Married: A Complete History
When it comes to dealing with media attention around one's love life, no one knows the game better than Jennifer Aniston. After skyrocketing to fame in the mid-'90s thanks to Friends, Aniston was basically everywhere — and after her 2005 split from Brad Pitt, who quickly took up with Mr. & Mrs. Smith co-star Angelina Jolie, so were rumors about her love life. Over her decades-long career, though, Aniston has somehow been able to weather any media storm that tries to rain on her parade, and that includes the often-invasive questions about her love life. We love the candor and confidence with which she speaks about her past relationships, and how she's consistently respectful when discussing someone involved in her personal life. 'My marriages, they've been very successful, in [my] personal opinion,' she told Elle in 2018, referring to exes Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux. 'When they came to an end, it was a choice that was made because we chose to be happy.' After all these years, we're still really interested in learning more about how one of Hollywood's biggest stars can balance her work, star persona, and personal life. We're going as far back as we can with Aniston's romantic life, looking back at her past relationships and the chapters that defined those moments. Take a look through this slideshow to learn more about Jennifer Aniston's past relationships, from Tate Donovan to her rumored relationship with wellness coach Jim Curtis. A version of this article was originally posted in Aug. 2021. More from SheKnows These Celebrities Have All Opened Up About Not Having Kids Best of SheKnows Every Single Look Kate Middleton Has Worn to Wimbledon Since 2007 56 Times Celeb Women Rocked Their Gorgeous Gray Hair on the Red Carpet 19 Celebrity Kids Who Dated Another Star's Child Jennifer Aniston's first major high-profile relationship was with actor Tate Donovan. The couple started dating in 1995, around the time that Aniston's star was on the rise thanks to a little show called Friends. The two dated for about three years before going their separate ways in 1998. While their split was fairly amicable, it wasn't any less tough. For starters, the actors were two of the 90s' biggest stars. Not to mention, Donovan landed a role on Friends where he played Aniston's love interest. 'It was just six episodes. I mean, only because we were breaking up. We were like, 'Hey, can we not keep doing this? 'Cause this is really painful and tough,' Donovan told Us Weekly in 2018. 'The people that know that we dated think that we met on Friends. But, in fact, we had dated for two years before then, and it was over by the time we were on Friends together.' Following her three-year relationship with Donovan, Aniston began dating Brad Pitt. The iconic couple's romance began in 1998, and they dated for roughly two years until their wedding in 2000. The couple was a constant media fixation, and things didn't get better in the mid-aughts when Pitt starred alongside Angelina Jolie in the film Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Aniston and Pitt announced their split in early 2005 and finalized their divorce in October of that year. In the immediate time following, scrutiny of Pitt and Jolie's relationship only increased. But the couple was able to weather the media storm until they ultimately split in 2016, after more than a decade and six children together. As for Pitt and Aniston, the two have seemingly gotten to a better place in their post-divorce relationship. In 2020, they worked together on a virtual table read of the film Fast Times at Ridgemont High, and appeared to be really supportive of one another at the Screen Actors Guild Awards in 2020. Aniston, herself, even reflected on her relationship with Pitt back in 2015. 'We're not in daily communication,' she told The Hollywood Reporter. 'But we wish nothing but wonderful things for each other. Nobody did anything wrong. You know what I mean? It was just like, sometimes things [happen].' After her very public divorce from Pitt, Aniston began spending a lot of time with her Break-Up co-star Vince Vaughn. The relationship was fairly short-lived, unfortunately. Due to the media scrutiny focused on Aniston after her split from Pitt, the circumstances of the relationship just couldn't outlast the constant paparazzi. 'For me personally — and I think most well-known actors who are together feel this way — I never enjoyed the paparazzi side of it,' he told Playboy Magazine in 2015, per Us Weekly. 'You like someone and you're spending time with them; that's separate and that was all fine. But I really spent most of that time finding ways not to be drawn into the attention.' We're going to be honest here. This relationship really caught us off guard. Between 2008 and 2009, Aniston was in an on-again, off-again relationship with singer John Mayer. Their most notable public appearance came at the 81st annual Academy Awards, pictured here. After their breakup, though, Mayer made some *choice* statements about Aniston, who is eight years his senior. 'I'll always be sorry that it didn't last,' he told Playboy after the breakup, per Marie Claire. 'In some ways, I wish I could be with her. But I can't change the fact that I need to be 32…One of the most significant differences between us was that I was tweeting. There was a rumour that I had been dumped because I was tweeting too much. That wasn't it, but that was a big difference.' Aniston, however, still saw Mayer as a 'wonderful guy,' according to the outlet. 'We care about each other. It's funny when you hit a place in a relationship and you both realise, we maybe need to do something else, but you still really, really love each other. It's painful,' she told Vogue. Jennifer Aniston's relationship with Justin Theroux actually goes way back. The two first met in 2007, when mutual friend Ben Stiller introduced them. But they didn't start dating until three years later in 2010, while working on the film Wanderlust. Two years later, in August 2012, Aniston and Theroux announced their engagement and tied the knot in 2015. Sadly, though, the couple's romance came to an end when they made the decision to split in 2018. But Aniston and Theroux have seemingly remained incredibly supportive of one another. During their marriage, however, even Theroux admitted that there were some challenges to being married to Aniston, most of which were created by the scrutiny around her. 'In ideal circumstances, you're known for what you do, or for the contributions you make in the arts, literature, movies, whatever. Even if it's a negative review, OK — that's fair play,' he told Rolling Stone in April 2021. 'But there are people who are only curious about the private lives of other people, and… I think the best thing to do is to train your eyes away from it.' In June 2025, rumors started swirling that Aniston was dating Jim Curtis, an author, motivational speaker and hypnotist, when they were pictured together in Northern California. In July, they were photographed yet again together, this time enjoying a vacation with friends in Mallorca, Spain. While their relationship has yet to be confirmed, they follow each other on Instagram, Aniston likes many of his inspirational posts, and she even shared a picture of his book, Shift, back in May 2025.
