The F1 movie doesn't have a special post-credits scene, but there is a mid-credits roll that intrigues fans.
No, the Brad Pitt-starrer doesn't have a special post-credit scene. However, like other big-budget films, it has a mid-credit scene.

In the mid-credits scene, Sonny Hayes arrives in Baja, California, a rugged, desert region known for off-road racing like the Baja 1000. Dust-covered and reflective, he approaches a local off-road racing team and inquires, 'Still looking for a driver?'
The scene cuts to Hayes behind the wheel, tearing through the sandy tracks as the credits roll, signaling his unquenched passion for competition. This moment echoes an earlier scene where Hayes, before Ruben's F1 offer, contemplated joining the Baja circuit, a nod to his love for diverse racing challenges. The sequence, accompanied by Hans Zimmer's pulsating score, captures Hayes's relentless drive.

While the scene leaves room for future stories, it doesn't overtly demand a sequel. The open-ended nature—Hayes racing into the desert—could lead to a spinoff exploring off-road circuits, but F1's $141 million budget and focus on Formula One's global appeal make a Baja-centric follow-up unlikely.
Other narrative paths, like Hayes mentoring a young driver or facing a rival team, are more viable for a sequel, given the film's ensemble cast, including Damson Idris as his teammate.

US women beat Ireland 4-0 for the second straight match
CINCINNATI — Izzy Rodriguez scored in her first appearance for the national team and the United States shut out Ireland 4-0 on Sunday. HT Image Lynn Biyendolo, Yazmeen Ryan and Alyssa Thompson also scored for the United States, which beat Ireland by an identical score in Commerce City, Colorado, on Thursday. The United States went up early when Biyendolo took a cross from Emma Sears and calmly scored her 25th international goal in the 11th minute. Biyendolo was captain for the match. 'I say this all the time, it's such an honor to even play for the national team, be a part of camps. But to be captain, I'm going to remember this day forever,' Biyendolo said. Left back Rodriguez started in her debut and scored on a rebound goal in the 42nd minute to make it 2-0. After halftime, Sears kept the ball in play and sent it to Olivia Moultrie, who crossed to Ryan for the goal in the 66th minute. It was Ryan's first international goal. Thompson came off the bench and scored in her second straight match in the 86th minute. Rose Lavelle, who is from Cincinnati, was sent in as a substitute in the 87th minute by coach Emma Hayes after the crowd at TQL Stadium started chanting her name. Lavelle scored in Thursday's match, making her first appearance of the year for the national team after having ankle surgery. 'Emma had said she'd put me in for a little cameo at the end, so that was always the plan,' Lavelle said. 'I really appreciated that. I think it's always special coming home.' In addition to Rodriguez, Seattle Reign midfielder Sam Meza also started in her debut for the team. Hayes made 11 changes to the starting lineup from Thursday's match. Twenty-four players have made their debut for the national team in 24 games under Hayes, who has been tasked with preparing the team for qualification for the Women's World Cup. 'I think we are still pushing. We want to get a game that we score five goals. But I think that what we want right now is the ability to put anybody into the lineup, and that there's a consistency and the level doesn't drop,' Biyendolo said. The United States was without many of its Europe-based players, including Lindsay Heaps and Crystal Dunn, who Hayes was resting following the European season. Ireland was also missing a few stars, including Katie McCabe, who was given time off after the season with Arsenal, and Denise O'Sullivan, who plays for the North Carolina Courage and is injured. 'I feel like everybody is not just trusting the process, but carrying out all the things we ask them to do,' Hayes said. 'Everybody's showed themselves so, so well.' The United States next plays Canada on Wednesday at Audi Field In Washington. soccer: /hub/soccer This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

‘F1' box-office collection: Brad Pitt's film speeds to $144M global debut, becomes Apple's biggest box office launch
Apple Original Films has scored its biggest theatrical success to date with 'F1', the high-octane Formula 1 drama starring Brad Pitt, which sped to an impressive $144 million global opening weekend. The Joseph Kosinski-directed feature launched across 78 international markets, collecting $88.4 million overseas and a further $55.6 million domestically. Exceeding pre-weekend projections, 'F1' not only delivered Apple's strongest box office launch but also claimed the No. 1 position among U.S. films in 74 out of 78 international territories. The film's global Imax take reached $27.7 million, with overseas markets accounting for $11.1 million of that — particularly strong showings in the UK, Japan, and South Korea. In China, 'F1' delivered $3.8 million on Imax alone, representing a massive 43% share of the country's total box office for the film. In the UK, 'F1' had a strong pole position despite soaring summer temperatures, earning $9.2 million including previews. That figure places it on par with Pitt's 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' and ahead of 'Fast X' by 17%, as well as 78% above 'Bad Boys: Ride or Die'. Comparatively, the film is tracking at current exchange rates alongside 'Gladiator II', performing 18% stronger than 'World War Z', 34% ahead of 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood', 58% above 'Bad Boys: Ride or Die', and a substantial 152% over 'Bullet Train'. The film's European performance has been especially notable, with 'F1' delivering the biggest opening weekend ever for an Apple title in the region. Eastern Europe, where Formula 1 enjoys significant popularity, has emerged as a standout contributor. As 'F1' continues its theatrical rollout, the success signals growing appetite for Apple's big-screen ventures and cements Brad Pitt's star power in global markets. With critical acclaim and strong fan interest, the film is expected to maintain momentum in the weeks ahead, particularly in territories where Formula 1 commands a devoted following.
