Brad Pitt famously dไrove on-track during last year’s British Grand Prix at Silverstone, to shoot scenes for the ‘F1’ movie.

The Hꦺollywood superstar and the film crew w𓄧ere back, last weekend, at Silverstone as filming continued.

The reaction of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton - one of the movie𝔍’s executive producers - to Pitt’s driving abilityꦜ has now been shared.

“We ꦅtrain💃ed Brad for almost three months — Brad and Damson Idris — in various cars,” producer Jerry Bruckheimer told .

“They started in Formula 3 and t🅠hen moved up to Formula 2.

“Lewis says th💎ey’re really terrific; they’re just natural, natural athletes.

“He was r𝄹eally impressed with them, w♌ith their driving.”

The car that Pitt drove last ♔year at Silverstone, in between real-life F1 sessions and in front of the live crowd, was an F2 car modified to look like an F1 car.

“We worked with Mercedes and this wa🎉s actually Toto Wolff’s idea,” director Joseph Kosin♓ski said.

“They all complain that racing movies a𝐆ren’t fast enough because usually when they build these cars, they’re movie cars. You know, they look right, but they aren’t real race cars.

“At one of our ꦍfirst meetings, Toto said: ‘You should build this off a Formula 2 car, but make it lo𝕴ok like a Formula 1 car,’ so it’s a Formula 2 chassis and engine.

“We worked closely wꦆith Mercedes and their design team and aerodynamicists to develop a custom body that resembles the latest generation Formula 1 car.

“They’re built specifically for this movie. They also have 15 c👍amera mounts built into them, including the recorders and the batteries and the transmitters.

“They’re m⛦ade for shooting movies, but they are fundamentally race cars.”

The uniqueness of the film - wh♎ich will be called💮 ‘F1’ - is that scenes were shot at real-life grands prix.

“We’ve got Brad and Damson Idris actually driving the cars, which is pretty spectacular ꦦin itself, but to do that in front of a live audience and at the speeds they’re doing it and figuring out a way to capture it… The logistics of it are unlike anything I’ve done before,” Kosinski said.

“We’re shooting at the actual grands prix, there are certain aspects of this film where we’re working in very, very tight ꦡwindows, shooting on the track, between practice and qualifying sessions, in front of hundreds of thousands of people.”

The storyline of the movie is that Sonny Hayes (played by Pitt) is a veteran racing driver lured back f▨or one last shot at glory.

The 2023 British Grand Prix paddock was fitted🅺 with a garage of an 11th team - the fictional APXGP.

Last weekend, during real-life post-race interviews for Lando Norris and Sergio Perez, fans spotted Pitt actin🔴g in the background, shooting his own ‘post-race interview’.

The movie will feature all of the current F1 drivers, and has been made in p🅺a🍨rtnership with Formula 1.

‘F1’ will be released in June 2025.
