The sporting feats will say that the Dutchman Max Verstappen (Red Bull) achieved his eighth victory of the season, at the British Grand Prix in Silverstone, where he led a podium in which the locals Lando Norris (McLaren), second, and Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes), third. But the focus of the cameras went in another direction. It is that Brad Pitt was the star of the ‘paddock’ this weekend at the Formula 1 British Grand Prix, in which the filming of a film set in motorsport began. The presence of an eleventh garage in the ‘pit’ was one of the focuses that caught the eye on the Silverstone circuit. That place was reserved for the fictional Apex team, which is at the center of the intrigue of the film, produced by Apple and Jerry Bruckheimer.
Brad Pitt, who drove at the legendary circuit over the weekend, was present on the starting grid of the Grand Prix on Sunday in a black and white suit, with the colors of Apex, together with the British actor Damson Idris, with whom It shares the bill in a production that should be released at the end of 2024 or the beginning of 2025. It will be broadcast on the Apple+ platform.
The 59-year-old actor was very happy with his stay in England and his contact with Formula 1. “It’s really great to be here, we have a lot of fun. Everyone has been great with us, the teams have opened their doors to us, the FIA has helped us a lot, just like Formula One and Stefano Domenicali,” the Hollywood star told Sky Sports F1.
The director of the film is Joseph Kosinski, who just had a huge success with “Top Gun: Maverick.” Kosinski and Pitt took part in a pre-race briefing with the real F1 drivers.
“It was probably the best briefing we’ve ever had,” said British pilot Lewis Hamilton, who is also a co-producer on the film.
