O Sonny Hayes, κορυφαίος οδηγός της δεκαετίας του ’90 που εγκατέλειψε μετά από σοβαρό τραυματισμό, επιστρέφει για να σώσει τη φανταστική ομάδα APXGP. Συνεργάζεται με τον νεαρό Joshua Pearce, αλλά ανταγωνίζεται μαζί του σε μια αναμέτρηση παλιάς σχολής εναντίον της σύγχρονης τεχνολογίας

Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) is a talented Formula 1 driver whose promising career in the 1990s ended prematurely after a serious crash. Years later, he’s living a quiet, withdrawn life, still haunted by his passion for racing and what could have been.The fictional team APXGP, which is struggling at the back of the grid and on the verge of collapse, approaches Sonny with an unexpected offer: return to Formula 1 as their lead driver to help save the team.Sonny agrees — on one condition: he also wants to mentor their young, promising driver Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris). Joshua is fast, bold, and cocky, representing the new generation of drivers, but lacks the maturity and mental resilience needed to become a champion.
