Immersive Grand Prix experience and cinematic connections
In the thrilling lead-up to the Formula 1 TAG Heuer Monaco Grand Prix 2025, Apple Maps has curated a special experience tailored specifically for Formula 1 aficionados. The application vividly displays the legendary street circuit layout, meticulously highlighting each of its famous bends – from the tight confines of the hairpin to the high-speed tunnel. Complementing this are detailed 3D models of the grandstands, pedestrian bridges, and the all-important finish line, allowing fans to virtually navigate the circuit and visualize the race day excitement.
Adding a practical dimension to this immersive experience, Apple Maps incorporates a particularly useful feature displaying real-time road closures. This invaluable tool will empower spectators to plan their movements effectively, ensuring they don’t miss a moment of the high-octane action.
Beyond the Grand Prix experience, this technological showcase is also intricately linked to Apple’s promotional strategy for its highly anticipated film, “F1 The Movie.” The movie’s global premiere is set to take center stage in Monaco, with its international release scheduled for the end of June. To further connect the virtual and cinematic worlds, a dedicated guide within the app lists the prominent international F1 circuits that served as filming locations for this Apple Original production, starring the acclaimed duo of Brad Pitt and Javier Bardem.
