The pinnacle of motorsport, Formula One, has its own music. The swift rhythms of a six-cylinder engine reaching 15,000 rpm; the ear-to-ear glissando of a spirited overtake in a DRS zone; the A-list concerts that follow most race weekends. So, when it came to making the summer tentpole “F1,” starring Brad Pitt and Damson Idris, the team behind the film knew its sound had to be massive, too.
That comes courtesy a score by the many-time Oscar winner Hans Zimmer and a huge soundtrack releasing as “F1 The Album” via Atlantic Records — the team behind the award-winning “Barbie” album — the same day as the movie, June 27.
