Apple Original Film 'F1' clinched the Oscar for Best Sound at the 98th Academy Awards, cementing its status as a cinematic triumph. Directed by Joseph Kosinski and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, the film garnered four nominations, including Best Picture. Its victory follows acclaimed wins for Best Editing and Best Sound at the Critics Choice Awards and BAFTA Film Awards. Brad Pitt stars as a retired Formula 1 driver reuniting with his former teammate to rescue a struggling team, mentoring an ambitious rookie.

This marks Apple TV's third consecutive Oscar win, following CODA's historic Best Picture triumph in 2022 and the animated short The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse's success. The film’s global streaming availability and claim as the highest-grossing sports feature film underscore Apple’s growing influence in both filmmaking and streaming. Critics praise its realistic sound design, which immerses viewers in high-speed racing sequences.
