Awards season is in full swing, and the F1 movie has picked up another trophy as Chris Stapleton won the 2026 GRAMMY for Best Country Solo Performance for his track Bad As I Used To Be from the blockbuster.
F1 received three nominations for the 2026 GRAMMY Awards. Tate McRae was nominated for Best Dance Pop Recording for her track Just Keep Watching from the F1 movie, but lost out to Lady Gaga's Abracadabra. F1 The Album was also nominated in the Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media category, but Sinners took the award.
Stapleton joined a strong line-up of artists on F1 The Album, such as Ed Sheeran, RAYE, Burna Boy and Rosé. In addition to featuring in the film, which has surpassed $630million at the global box office since its June 2025 release, Stapleton's Bad As I Used To Be has become part of Formula 1's race weekend track coverage alongside Sheeran's Drive.
The F1 movie stars Brad Pitt, who plays semi-retired driver Sonny Hayes as he returns to F1 with the struggling APXGP team, owned by his former team-mate Rubén Cervantes (Javier Bardem). Joining the team alongside rookie driver Joshua Pearce, played by Damson Idris, the team has the remaining nine races of the season to win a race. If they fail, the team's investors will sell the team.
Filmed during real F1 race weekends, drivers from the 2023 and 2024 seasons also cameo in the film, including Alex Albon, Carlos Sainz, Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton, who also served as an executive producer.
