Hot Wheels Launches 'F1 The Movie' Inspired Race Car Scale Model

NDTV24-06-2025
Ahead of the global theatrical release of the much-anticipated Formula 1-themed film starring Brad Pitt, Hot Wheels has unveiled a collector's dream - a limited-edition 1:64 scale die-cast car inspired by the fictional APXGP team featured in the movie. The special edition miniature is based on the car driven by Pitt's character, Sonny Hayes, in 'F1 The Movie', and will go on sale on June 24 and the film hits international theatres on June 25, 2025. Finished in an authentic black and gold livery with Hayes' racing number seven, the die-cast model mirrors the sleek design of the APXGP Formula 1 car from the movie. It includes a moulded driver's helmet, three sets of official Pirelli tyres, a tyre storage rack, and comes encased in a collector-grade 'Kar Keepers' clamshell case for display.

This release continues Hot Wheels' growing involvement with Formula 1 following last year's multi-year licensing agreement with the sport. Two previous product pre-orders under this partnership sold out rapidly, underscoring the strong demand from both collectors and motorsport fans. Priced at 30 pounds or Rs. 3,500, the APXGP scale model offers something for motorsport enthusiasts, pop culture aficionados, and collectors alike.
F1 The Movie stars Brad Pitt as Sonny Hayes, a once-promising F1 talent of the 1990s whose career was derailed by a devastating crash. Decades later, he's called back to the grid by his former teammate-turned-team owner Ruben Cervantes (played by Javier Bardem), to help rescue the struggling APXGP team. Hayes is paired with rising star Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris) as he seeks redemption, battles inner demons, and races for legacy in a sport where even teammates are rivals.
Directed by Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick), the upcoming Apple Original Films production is backed by producer Jerry Bruckheimer, Plan B Entertainment, and seven-time Formula 1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton through his Dawn Apollo Films banner. The film was produced in collaboration with Formula 1 itself.

'Today isn't just your birthday—it's a reminder of how lucky I am to walk through life with you.

Because through it all, you always have my back. You're my loudest cheerleader, my fiercest defender, and the one person I can always count on every single time." The actor went on to call his wife 'the anchor, the calm, and the favourite teammate' of his life. 'I hope you feel celebrated for everything you are. You deserve joy, rest, laughter, love, and maybe even a nap without interruptions. You've earned every bit of it. You inspire me to be a better person, someone worthy of having you as a partner- I guess I am just happy counting my blessings, god couldn't have been kinder to me,' he added. In a quick response, Genelia commented on the post and wrote, 'Thank you my everything. Birthday will not be the same without you.'

Dhanush is making headlines recently after it was reported that the actor is currently dating Mrunal Thakur. While the actors are yet to make it official, how well do you know about the actor's assets and the money he makes with each movie? What is Dhanush's net worth? According to a report by The Financial Express, Dhanush has a net worth of Rs 230 crore, making him one of the highest-paid actors in the South Indian film industry. Interestingly, the actor's net worth is not just formed with his impressive remuneration but also with previous advertisement collaborations with companies like OLX and 7Up. Dhanush's lavish home in Chennai For those unaware, Dhanush owns a massive home in Chennai's posh Poes Garden where several celebrities reside, including his former father-in-law, Rajinikanth. As per a report by Hindustan Times, the Raayan star's home is estimated to have a value of Rs 150 crore. Dhanush's astounding remuneration and personal vehicles Dhanush is undoubtedly one of the highest-paid actors in Indian cinema. With his experience in cinema being more than 20 years, he is reported by India TV to charge a remuneration between Rs 20 to Rs 35 crore for each film, and receives a monthly salary of Rs 3 crore. On a side note, the actor is reportedly said to have charged Rs 4 crore as his remuneration for appearing in Russo Brothers' The Gray Man. The film starring Ryan Gosling, Ana De Armas, and Chris Evans in leading roles had the Raanjhanaa actor making a small appearance. Moving ahead, Dhanush is mostly known for his simplistic lifestyle and often embodies it with his outfits. However, the actor has a soft spot for luxurious vehicles and is reported to own cars like a Jaguar, an Audi, a Rolls-Royce Ghost, and even a Bentley. Dhanush's personal life Dhanush, whose real name is Venkatesh Prabhu Kasthuri Raja, was born on July 28, 1983. The 42-year-old actor is the son of former director-producer Kasthuri Raja and his wife Vijayalakshmi.

The Captain Miller actor was previously married to Rajinikanth's elder daughter, Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth. After a 20-year-long marriage, the couple divorced on November 27, 2024. The former couple share two children, namely Yathra and Linga. Over the years, the actor has not limited himself to acting roles but has also served as lyricist, singer, producer, and, most recently, director.
