‘F1’ star Idris on his role and training to drive

Damson Idris, who stars as rookie Joshua Pearce in the highly anticipated F1 movie, recently shared insights ahead of its international release on June 25. The film follows ex-Formula 1 driver Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) as he partners Pearce in a comeback with the fictional APXGP team. Idris discussed the demanding production process, his personal drive to "protect" his character, and what he believes will be a compelling experience for fans. With North American audiences awaiting the June 27 premiere, Idris's reflections offer a glimpse into the collaborative effort to bring this motorsport drama to the big screen.
