In the category of "Best Motion Picture – Drama," "F1: The Movie" faces stiff competition from several notable films, including "Avatar: The Way of Water," "K-Pop Demon Hunters," "Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning," "Sinners," "Weapons," "Wicked: For the Greater Good," and "Zootopia 2."

The film’s success, both critically and at the box office, has also reignited discussions about a potential sequel. Jerry Bruckheimer, the producer of "F1: The Movie," confirmed that talks are underway regarding future projects. In a recent interview, he shared insights into the discussions taking place, including a meeting with renowned Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton. Bruckheimer explained, "We met with Lewis Hamilton a few weeks ago and started discussing some ideas." It’s worth mentioning that Hamilton not only served as a driver but also took on a producer role in the film.
In his comments, Bruckheimer emphasized the importance of accurately portraying the experience of driving Formula 1 cars. He stated, "If you’re going to make a film about F1, then you better do it right, and that was the intention of Joe and our entire team." He highlighted the intensive training that the cast underwent, noting, "They [the team] spent four months training in these cars, starting with an F4, then moving to an F2, and finally to our car. It was an experience we couldn’t have achieved without F1."
Additionally, Bruckheimer praised the involvement of the Formula 1 organization itself, stating, "Stefano Domenicali, who is the president and CEO of Formula 1, really put in the effort to help make this film as authentic as possible, allowing us to travel to nine different tracks."
The film’s narrative, centered around the exhilarating world of Formula 1 racing, captures the high-octane action and drama that surrounds this prestigious sport.
