CNN has reported that Pitt and his fellow actors will even capture their own pit stop sequence adjacent to the renowned race track.

Brad Pitt also met his admirers and participated in photo sessions at the Silverstone circuit’s paddock in Northamptonshire, England.

The Formula 1 drivers expressed their delight in having Brad Pitt join them for the official pre-race meeting at Silverstone. Lewis Hamilton stated that it was “possibly the most remarkable drivers’ briefing we’ve ever had.”

Furthermore, Pitt also had the opportunity to venture onto the track, reportedly reaching speeds of up to 150mph.

In an upcoming film, Pitt will portray a former racing driver who makes a comeback in the sport, featuring alongside actor Damson Idris (known for Snowfall) as his teammate, representing a fictional F1 team.

The popularity of Formula One has surged in recent years, partly credited to the Netflix documentary series Drive to Survive, which offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse. At present, Max Verstappen leads the real-life drivers’ championship.

Following extensive preparations, filming for the movie commenced in full swing over the weekend, and the fictitious 11th team featured prominently in the paddock and pitlane.

The Apple-backed F1 film showcases converted F2 cars from production, which will make an appearance on the starting grid before the race and even participate in a section of the formation lap. These cars will be driven by former professional racers who have transitioned into stunt roles, namely Craig Dolby and Luciano Bacheta.
