In 2025, six drivers will enter the Formula 1 circus, and this will be their first full F1 season. This is an unprecedented number of rookies, and even the official F1 channel didn't want to miss the opportunity to introduce them!
Using history, the idea came to Formula 1 to make a documentary that showed the development of young people. Rookies was born, offering a 50-minute look at the flight of Gabriel Bortoleto, Kimi Antonelli, Isack Hadjar, Jack Doohan and Oliver Bearman. Childhood dreams, moments behind the scenes, the arrival on the threshold of F1... The film promises images never seen before, enriched by exclusive interviews with people who have actively participated in the search for the path of young people.
A new generation has arrived.

One of those people is Bruno Michel, the head of F2 and F3, who shares his thoughts on the five drivers and how proud he is to see these youngsters become F1 drivers today. We also take a look at how F2 and F3 prepare young drivers for their careers. The film has been described as "innovative and personal", according to F1, and is available now for those with an F1TV Access and F1TV Pro subscription.
