The trailer begins with Brad Pitt's character Sony Hayes, a retired Formula One driver, who is called to fill in after retirement, by his former teammate, Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), to help the struggling APXGP team. Hayes is assigned to guide the team’s young rookie, Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris).
