Having opened in theatres worldwide on June 27, 2025, the racing drama is expected to follow the tech giant's established release formula for online platforms.

Helmed by
Top Gun: Maverick
director Joseph Kosinski,
F1
has already made headlines for its impressive performance at the global box office. Backed by a budget of $200 million, the film has crossed $160 million globally, with a standout $2.7 million opening in the UAE—a record debut for both a Brad Pitt feature and an Apple-backed production in the region.
The film follows the story of Sonny Hayes, a retired Formula One legend portrayed by Pitt, who returns to the racetrack to guide young prodigy Joshua Pearce (played by Damson Idris). With supporting roles by Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, and Tobias Menzies, the movie merges high-octane action with personal drama, set against the pulsating world of motorsports.

When Can Viewers Expect the Digital Release?
While
F1
continues its theatrical lap across major global markets, viewers hoping to catch the film at home are now tracking its
F1 streaming release date
. Given Apple's recent digital release strategies, industry observers expect the movie to become available on digital platforms such as iTunes, Amazon, and Vudu between 45 to 65 days after its theatrical debut.
Live Events
By that calculation,
F1
could see its digital release window open between August 10 and September 1, 2025. This timeline aligns with previous Apple Originals, including
Killers of the Flower Moon
, which became available for streaming 84 days post-theatrical release.
Exclusive Apple TV+ Streaming Launch to Follow
After its limited digital transactional release,
F1
will stream exclusively on Apple TV+, Apple's premium streaming platform. As an Apple Original Film,
F1
joins a line-up of high-profile cinematic releases intended to bolster the platform's global content library, as per a report by Coming Soon.
Subscribers to Apple TV+ can anticipate the film's arrival by late August or early September, although no official date has been announced yet. Given Apple's consistent pattern of prioritizing extended box office runs for high-budget titles, the studio may take advantage of
F1
's financial momentum before shifting to its streaming rollout.
With
F1
having already achieved critical and commercial traction, industry watchers believe a digital and streaming release by September 2025 appears realistic, pending any changes based on box office longevity.

Why the Wait Might Be Strategic
Industry analysts suggest that Apple Studios is carefully timing F1's home release to sustain its profitability and buzz. Unlike smaller films that rapidly transition from theatres to digital platforms,
F1
is backed by prestige collaborators such as Jerry Bruckheimer Films, Plan B Entertainment, and Kosinski's own production unit.
The long-term streaming value of a title like
F1
, which combines mainstream appeal with global star power and niche motorsport fandom, is expected to be maximized by spacing out its release windows strategically.
Moreover, Apple's focus on event-style cinema releases for some of its big-budget projects has worked in its favour, offering them a dual runway—first, as box office earners and later as streaming tentpoles.
F1 Streaming Release Date: What We Know So Far
Theatrical release date: June 27, 2025
Estimated digital purchase/rental date: Between August 10 and September 1, 2025
Expected Apple TV+ streaming release: Late August to early September 2025
Streaming platform: Apple TV+ (exclusive)
Although Apple has yet to make an official announcement, the prevailing consensus among industry insiders is that F1 will be available for home viewing within a three-month window, with Apple TV+ subscribers getting access shortly after its transactional digital release.

Is reading news destroying your femininity? Instagram reels say so
Still unsure? Don't worry. Some reels break it all down: all the little habits that are slowly destroying your femininity. Like being 'glued to the news'. Because, obviously, a woman shouldn't engage with the harshness of the outside world. The world might be ending, but you don't need to know about it. Shut your eyes, breathe, and smell the vanilla candles. Instead, women in flowy, beautiful dresses walking through Pinterest-worthy landscapes will gently inform you that women just aren't meant to carry the weight of being protectors, providers, nurturers, caretakers and lovers all at once. It's just too much for our dainty, wispy, feminine nervous system. Do it anyway? You'll become masculine. If the Meta algorithm figured out that you're a woman, it won't be long before your feed will be a soft-focus carousel of reels telling you to 'embrace your feminine energy' and 'how to make men crave you'. How do you do it? For starters, stop being 'Miss Independent'. Don't lead a conversation. Even if it's just making sure everyone is included and the room isn't trapped listening to one guy's monologue about his hyperspecific niche interests. Go with the flow, and learn to listen. Don't give advice that no one asked for. Because, clearly, women are the ones with a reputation for handing out unsolicited and patronising life tips, right? Also read: The F1 movie is visually revolutionary. That still can't make up for a weak storyline Cottage-core pyramid scheme Competing with men is also a no-go. Tricky, if you're planning to have a life outside of the kitchen, men are everywhere. Actually, they're in the kitchen too, if their work is getting compensated. But the message is clear: Don't chase degrees or money. Why chase a prize when you can sit on a mantle as one? Please remember, the masculine earns and the feminine spends. Don't hustle. Don't rush. Don't strive. Just… glow. Don't worry, you're going to attract amazing things. And these are just the lists of 'don'ts'. There's a whole set of rituals to realign you with your feminine essence. Sit and silently stare at yourself in front of the mirror for three minutes. Learn to sit, stand, eat, and drink water elegantly. Speak to men using soft, positive reinforcements—the kind usually reserved for training puppies. Let the silence speak. Apparently, even the silence has more to say than you do. One reel asks you to comment, 'I want you to lead,' so you can get a 5-day email-filled sequence filled with tips on how to fully embrace your feminine reality. Hundreds of women have judiciously written those exact words. It's like a floral filter, boss-girl, cottage-core pyramid scheme. I get it. It's tiring being a woman. It seems like the more women complain about the disproportionate distribution of labour, the more is on our plate. We now get to be everything, do everything, and look like Aditi Rao Hydari while we're at it. Honestly, most of us need a nap. But if the alternative is returning to stale 1950s women's magazines with advice teaching you 'how to be your best womanly woman self' and 'how to trick men into liking you', won't we rather be masculine and in turn have human rights? Views are personal. (Edited by Ratan Priya)

When design speaks louder than logos
It has been a busy week for Namrata Karad, founder and creative director of Ahikoza by Brahm, after former journalist Lauren Sanchez was spotted carrying a black clutch from the brand ahead of her wedding to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos in image quickly found its way into the global fashion spotlight—not just for the celebrity moment, but for the absence of any visible branding as well. 'For them to be carrying a brand without a logo? I humbly believe it says something about the brand,' Karad told part of a growing group of Indian and Indian-origin designers gaining global acclaim for 'quiet luxury'—a fashion movement defined by unique and subtle designs with a focus on craftsmanship. Labels like 11.11/eleven eleven, Dhruv Kapoor, and behno New York are leading this trend. Hollywood actor Brad Pitt, for instance, was seen wearing a shirt from 11.11/eleven eleven in a scene in his latest film, F1. Karad said her luxury handbags and accessories brand was born out of passion nine years ago, and not with the intention of celebrities endorsing it on red carpet. 'I saw a gap in the market, and I wanted to design handbags that would not have to announce themselves with a loud logo. Rather, be recognised by design.' All global brands have key features—a DNA. Think of Bottega Veneta that is known for its weave, or Judith Leiber famous for its crystal studded handbags. The thing that stands out for Ahikoza by Brahm handbags is the geometric patterns. 'This is our defined DNA. When people talk about the brand, they recognise it by design. That, to me, is true luxury,' Karad said. New Delhi headquartered 11.11/eleven eleven—cofounded by Shani Himanshu and Mia Morikawa more than 15 years ago—follows a 'seed to stitch' philosophy. Moving away from mainstream manufacturing, the label produces small batches of 'slow-made clothing' in collaboration with groups of artisans located all across India. For instance, for the Kala cotton indigenous to Kachchh in Gujarat, it works with local weavers who specialise in hand spinning. 'The neighbouring villages also participate in the process. This leaves a much lower carbon footprint,' Himanshu said. 'The reason why many people don't know of us till now is because we have been quietly building this entire ecosystem in keeping with our design ethos,' he said. 'The larger vision is to make all our products compostable. We have not achieved this in all our products yet.' 11.11/eleven eleven only uses plant-based dyes and 100% natural colours. It also has a showroom in New York, and retails through 100 stores across India, the US, Europe and Japan. Hollywood actor Dev Patel visited its New Delhi store last month. Dhruv Kapoor, founder and creative director of his eponymous label, said the term quiet luxury emerged simply as a contrast to overt, all-over monogramming. 'The brand name recedes, allowing quality, craftsmanship, and silhouette to lead,' he said. 'True quiet luxury—where branding is nearly untraceable—tends to attract a more mature, discerning audience,' Kapoor said. His approach is to strike a balance with most pieces carrying a small, refined logo. A select few, like casual jumpers, sport bold logos and they 'sell out within days,' he said. Kapoor will showcase his collection at the Milan Fashion Week for the seventh time in September. Behno—which retails wallets, small leather goods, mini bags, totes and sling bags—has its design studio headquartered in the West Village of Manhattan in New York City, but it is very much rooted in the Indian subcontinent for production, according to its founder and creative director Shivam Punjya. 'Over the last year, we've expanded our presence through select retail partners and pop-ups in key global markets, and we've been fortunate to receive recognition from international press and tastemakers,' Punjya said. The brand will open its first store in India in Mumbai later this year, 'marking an important step in building a physical flagship presence for the brand,' he said. behno (translating to sisters in Hindi) claims to be pioneering 'a new standard' for manufacturing in the global garment trade, focusing on the way garment workers and artisans are viewed, employed, and treated. The brand's products are handmade in facilities implementing a set of six guiding principles focusing on health, artisan growth, family planning, women's rights, workplace satisfaction, and eco consciousness. In 2019, behno won Fashion Group International's Rising Star Award in accessories. Previous winners include Tory Burch, Michael Kors and Jason Wu. For Punjya, quiet luxury is about intention over excess—a design philosophy where there is a deep consideration for craftsmanship, materiality, and design integrity. 'It's luxury that you feel intimately for yourself…something that makes you feel special or even empowered,' he said. 'It's a luxury where those who know, know.'
