Brembo, the official brake supplier to all ten Formula One teams, says it is proud of the work it did with the F1 Movie, which is released in U.S. movie theaters on Friday.
Sonny Hayes and Joshua Pearce utilized Brembo brakes in their Mercedes-powered APX Grand Prix cars. The F1 Movie follows the pair as they navigate the FIA Formula One World Championship.
APX GP are a struggling F1 team with Sonny being asked to come back to the F1 paddock after a decade away to help Pearce and the team move up the grid.
The film was shot on location during the 2023 Formula One season and was also shot at locations around the UK such as at the McLaren Technology Center which also doubled as the APX GP HQ while also utilizing the Williams F1 Team’s windtunnel in Grove.
Mauro Piccoli, Brembo’s Chief Marketing Officer says:
