Brembo hits the big screen in new F1 movie

In real life, all 10 Formula 1 teams already rely on Brembo’s world-class braking systems. Now, another joins the ranks, APXGP, the fictional team at the heart of Apple Original Films’ F1 The Movie, the highly anticipated summer event movie from director Joseph Kosinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer, and starring Brad Pitt, Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, and Javier Bardem. 

 
As an official partner of the film, Brembo was chosen to design and supply the braking systems for the F1 car featured in the movie. Filmed during actual F1 Grand Prix weekends, the movie blends real racing with cinematic storytelling. Pitt, Idris and stunt drivers experienced over 4G of deceleration on set, over three times what most drivers feel on the road, thanks to Brembo's state-of-the-art brakes. 

In addition to engineering the APXGP car’s braking system, Brembo is supporting the film with a co-promotional campaign tied to its 50th anniversary in motorsport. The Italian company entered Formula 1 in 1975 with Ferrari, marking the beginning of a legacy that includes countless victories and championships. 
 
Brembo’s participation helps ensure the film captures the intensity and realism of Formula 1 racing. But beyond performance, the brand’s involvement brings authenticity - rooted in the same passion and technical rigor it applies to every Grand Prix. 

As the lines between real racing and cinematic storytelling blur, Brembo stands at the crossroads of both worlds, delivering trust, technology and thrill. Whether in the heat of a Grand Prix or a high-speed film sequence, Brembo proves once again that brakes may not be the loudest part of a car, but they’re the ones you trust the most. 
 
Since its entry into Formula 1 50 years ago, Brembo has grown to supply brake systems or components to almost every series in motorcycle and car racing. To date, Brembo has helped teams win over 700 championship titles across motorsport and over 500 F1® Grand Prix. Be sure to catch F1 The Movie, in theaters June 25 internationally and June 27 in North America, to see if Brembo can add another win to its name.
