Brad Pitt and Damson Idris burn rubber in fast-paced 'F1' teaser
Brad Pitt and Damson Idris are burning rubber and moving with pace in the brand-new teaser for "F1," a racing movie taking place in Formula 1, the massively popular international racing organization.
"We need to build our car for combat," urges Pitt, who plays Sonny Hayes, a former driver returning to the sport.
"How am I supposed to make that safe?" asks a puzzled Kerry Condon, to which Pitt responds, "Who said anything about safe?"
The following montage shows a collection of high-speed races, intense spinouts and cars training on a course. The high-octane teaser is set to the famous tune of "We Will Rock You" by Queen.
