In 2025, six drivers will enter the circus of speed, marking their first full season in F1. It's an unprecedented number of rookies, and the official F1 channel didn't want to be left out in its presentation.
Using this story, the idea arose in Formula 1: why not make a documentary showcasing the development of youngsters? Thus, Rookies was born, offering a 50-minute glimpse into the rise of Gabriel Bortoleto, Kimi Antonelli, Isack Hadjar, Jack Doohan, and Oliver Bearman. Childhood dreams, behind-the-scenes moments, the arrival on the threshold of F1... The film promises never-before-seen footage, enhanced by exclusive interviews with people who have actively participated in helping youngsters find their path.
A new generation has arrived.

One of those people was Bruno Michel, the head of F2 and F3, who shares his thoughts on the five drivers and how proud he is that these young drivers are still F1 drivers today. We also get a glimpse into how F2 and F3 prepare young drivers for their careers. According to F1, the film is "groundbreaking and personal," and is now available to F1TV Access and F1TV Pro subscribers.
