Overview
On-track gameplay in F1 25 genuinely extends to fill a 5120x1440 screen with correct FOV, since EA explicitly advertises ultra-wide and super-ultra-wide as PC-exclusive features. The in-game resolution dropdown doesn't offer a clean 32:9 preset though, so players have to force it by manually editing hardware_settings_config.xml. UI and pre-race cinematics stay locked to a centered 16:9 box regardless of your display.

Selectable directly from the resolution list, on-track view fills correctly.

Working with fix
Had to hand-edit hardware_settings_config.xml since 5120x1440 isn't in the in-game list.
