How F1 is flourishing at the world’s biggest awards

F1 The Movie is making headlines beyond the track, with its official soundtrack, "F1 the Album," earning three nominations at the 2026 Grammy Awards, including Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media. Featuring a score by Hans Zimmer and original music from artists like Ed Sheeran and Tate McRae, and shaped by Lewis Hamilton's input, this marks F1's first Grammy recognition, underscoring its expanding global reach. This success builds on a strong history of F1's presence in the awards world. Netflix's "Drive to Survive" has garnered multiple Sports Emmy wins, while "Brawn: The Impossible F1 Story" and "Senna" also received significant accolades. F1 stars like Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton have also been honored with Laureus World Sports Awards, further cementing the sport's cultural impact far beyond the race circuit.
