Lights out and away we go — not just on the track, but in your headphones too. The F1 movie has dropped a bombshell: the official soundtrack is titled “F1 The Album,” and it’s already shaping up to be a turbocharged cultural moment in its own right.
Produced in collaboration with Formula 1 and some of the world’s biggest musical powerhouses, F1 The Album blends the raw adrenaline of motorsport with the electric pulse of global music icons. This isn’t just a score—it’s a full-throttle celebration of speed, sound, and spectacle.
A Grid Full of Stars
F1 The Album isn’t playing around. The track list reads like the paddock at Monaco—stacked with heavyweights. We’re talking:
- The Weeknd, delivering a haunting synth-driven anthem inspired by the intensity of a qualifying lap.
- Billie Eilish, whose minimalist ballad channels the isolation and pressure behind the visor.
- Travis Scott, revving things up with a beat that mirrors the chaos of turn 1 at Silverstone.
- Hans Zimmer x ZHU, teaming up for a cinematic electronic score piece that could only be described as Interstellar meets Imola.
And yes, there’s even a surprise throwback remix of Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain” — the song that Top Gear made synonymous with racing royalty.
Music Meets Motorsport
Directed by Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick) and starring Brad Pitt as a veteran driver mentoring a rising star (played by Damson Idris), the F1 movie has been hyped for months. But with F1 The Album, it’s become clear this project isn’t just about cars—it’s about creating an entire sensory universe.
F1 The Movie
Formula 1’s brand team, flush with Drive to Survive-fueled momentum, worked directly with Interscope Records to match each track to specific emotional beats in the film. Think: pole position tension, rain-soaked pit lane drama, champagne-soaked podiums—all driven by music that feels like you’re hitting 300 km/h.
Trackside, Clubside, Worldwide
What makes F1 The Album stand out is that it’s not just for cinephiles or petrolheads. It’s a global playlist for the era of pop culture crossovers. Already, snippets of the album have leaked into TikTok challenges, F1 highlight reels, and even official race intro videos. Expect to hear these tracks on DJ sets at Ibiza beach clubs and blasting from McLaren team garages alike.
In a world where sports, music, and cinema are increasingly inseparable, F1 The Album is perfectly timed—and perfectly tuned.
Release Date & Format
F1 The Album full release is set for July 27th on all streaming platforms. Special collector’s editions will include bonus remixes, behind-the-scenes voice notes from the artists, and exclusive F1 x music-themed artwork.
You might not be able to drive an F1 car, but with this album? You’ll definitely feel like you’re in the cockpit.
