Pop icon Ed Sheeran releases 'Drive', the official 'F1' music video
Less than a week before the official release of the new Formula 1-themed movie, Ed Sheeran has unveiled the official music video of “Drive,” one of the songs featured on the film’s tracklist.
There’s just a little time left before the launch of F1, the brand-new Formula 1-themed movie produced by the same team behind Top Gun: Maverick. The film stars Brad Pitt as Sonny Hayes, a former driver who lends his experience to young teammate Joshua Pearce at APX GP, helping him rise through the ranks.
The stage is all set, with pop superstar Ed Sheeran releasing the official music video for “Drive,” one of the tracks featured on the film’s soundtrack.
In the video, the British singer can be seen navigating between cars battling it out on track, before moving to a wind tunnel where he plays his iconic guitar.
Ed Sheeran's take on the new F1 movie
"I love making songs for movies, ever since I did I See Fire for The Hobbit'', Sheeran said when commenting on the new F1 movie.
“Movies are my hobby and probably the only thing other than sport that I get, like, starstruck to be part of. Not just directors or actors or whatever, but being a part of the journey of a movie is so exciting for me.”
"I got asked to do a song for the F1 movie. I knew that I wanted to make a proper rock song for it, a proper driving song. Something you’d wanna turn up to the fullest amount whilst driving''.
"I wrote it in the studio with Blake Slatkin and John Mayer, then we got Pino Paladino and Dave Grohl to be the final jigsaw pieces of the song. Pure dream team for the genre of rock, and I really feel what we created fits the scene in the movie so well''.
''It really lets me as a movie fan, behind the curtain, help create the perfect song for a scene in a movie. Movies and art are the only hobbies outside of music I really have, and I love my time at the F1 whenever I get to go play there''.
"So this was like a match made in heaven. I’m so honoured to work with such great musicians on it, and hope you guys love the end result. Drive out now."
