This summer, the thrill of Formula 1 is speeding from the circuit to the cinema with the release of F1, starring Brad Pitt and Damson Idris. From the same director as Top Gun: Maverick, the film has been produced in collaboration with seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, and promises a rare, behind-the-helmet look at life on and off the track. If the trailer’s anything to go by – tight corners, explosive overtakes, and white-knuckle tension – they could have reached out to the Teamworks Karting team as consultants.

In F1, Pitt plays a former driver coaxed out of retirement to mentor rookie talent and compete against the fastest racers in the world. But what truly sets this film apart is its authentic feel: real F1 cars, real circuits, and filming during actual Grand Prix weekends. 

The result is a cinematic experience that mirrors the adrenaline and intensity fans know and love. And while most of us won’t be trading paint with Max Verstappen anytime soon, the film is set to remind us that racing is about more than just speed. It’s about instinct, strategy, and connection. It’s the same thrill that awaits you at Teamworks Karting. Because after the credits roll and your heart’s still racing, the only thing better than watching the action is living it.

At Teamworks Karting venues, we’re passionate about bringing the spirit of motorsport to life across our UK-wide venues.

Feel the G-force in high-performance karts, master hairpin turns, and race against your mates for bragging rights – all in a safe, competitive environment.

Bring your team for an all-out Grand Prix event, set your fastest lap in a time trial, or start your kids on their very own karting journey with junior sessions. We even offer corporate packages and exclusive track hires, so you can channel your inner F1 hero without the Hollywood budget.

With the movie putting the spotlight on the intensity and precision of elite racing, our cutting-edge simulators let you live that world first-hand. Available at select venues, you can experience the same software used by professional F1 drivers to train. With full-motion rigs, professional steering wheels, and authentic racing pedals, you’ll feel every corner, bump, and gear shift as if you were on the real grid. Race legendary circuits, push your limits, and compete against friends in the same style of training used by real motorsport teams.

The F1 film reminds us why we fall in love with racing in the first place: it’s about pushing limits, chasing perfection, and the rush that comes with every corner taken just right. At Teamworks Karting, you’re not just watching that story – you’re writing your own.

Don’t be surprised if you leave the cinema this summer with a need for speed. When that moment hits, we’ve got your helmet ready. Book your next race at Teamworks Karting and turn the silver screen into the start line. 🏎️🏁
