Revealed: What Lewis Hamilton really thought of Brad Pitt’s driving
“They’re made for shooting movi🌳es🥂, but they are fundamentally race cars.”

Brad Pitt famously drove on-track during last year’s British Grand Prix at Silverstone, to sho💙ot scenes for the ‘F1’ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ movie.
The Hollywood superstar and the film crew were back, last weekend, at Silverstone as filming co✅ntinued.
The reaction of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton - one of the m🍸ovie’s executive producers - to Pitt’s driving 𝄹ability has now been shared.
“We traiﷺned Brad for almost three months — Brad and Damson Idris — in various cars,” producer Jerry Bru✱ckheimer told .
“T💧hey started in Formula 3 and then moved up to Formula 2.
“Lewis says they’re really terrific; they’re just nat𒈔ural, natural athletes.
“He was really impressed with them, with their d🌳riving.”
The car that Pitt drove last year at Silverstone, in between real-life F1 sessions and in frꦓont of the live crowd, was an F2 car modified to look like an ꦫF1 car.
“We worked with🌊 Me🎀rcedes and this was actually Toto Wolff’s idea,” director Joseph Kosinski said.
“They all complain that racing movies aren’t fast enough because usuall🍬y 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 first meetings, Toto said: ‘You should buil🍒d this off a Formula 2 car, but make it look like 💮a Formula 1 car,’ so it’s a Formula 2 chassis and engine.
“We worked closely with ꧒Mercedes and their design team and aerodynamicists to develop a custom body that resembles the latest generation Formula 1 car.
“They’re built specifically fo🐼r this movie. They also have 15 ca🌠mera mounts built into them, including the recorders and the batteries and the transmitters.
“They’re made for shooting movܫies, but they🅘 are fundamentally race cars.”
The un🌺iqueness of the film - which 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 in 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 windows, 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 for one last shot at glory.
The 2023 Briꦛtish Grand Prix paddock was fitted with a garage of an 11th team - the fictional APXGP꧙.
Last weekend, during real-life post-race inter🎉views for Lando Norris and Sergio Pe🌞rez, fans spotted Pitt acting in the background, shooting his own ‘post-race interview’.
The movie will feature all of the current F1 drive𒅌rs, and has been made in partnership with Formula 1.
‘F1’ will be released in June 2025.
