The Hollywood superstar was the 21st driver in a pr🌳e-race starting grid at Silverstone, as part of his ♈upcoming Formula 1 movie.
Lewis Hamilton is a co-💮producer of the movie which doesn’t have ▨a title yet.
Pitt, 59, whose character is called Sonny Hayes, has been behind the wheel of his APXGP - which is, in reality, an F2 car modified by Mercedes to look like a modern𒉰 F꧂1 car.
No footage of Pitt in his APXGP car was broadcast via Sky Sports or Channel 4, to kee꧂p a degree of secre♔cy for the movie.
Pitt's car is an F2 machine which Mercedes helped to resemble a modern Forﷺmula 1 car.
The actorꦦ has driven it on the Silverstone track over the British G🌳rand Prix weekend, using the live crowd as extras in the movie.
Jam🍰es was a sports journalist at Sky Sports for a decade covering everything from American sports, to football, to F1.
