Hollywood i🤡con Brad Pitt has admitted to ignoring the advice of a professional F2 driver while filming sce🌟nes for his upcoming Formula 1 move.

Pitt stars as Sonny Hayes in Joseph Kosinski’s much-anticipated F1 film, playing a veteran driver who🌱 returns to the sport to mentor young talent Joshua Pearce, portrayed by Damso🍬n Idris.

In preparation for the role, Pitt and Idris drove a specially modified Formula 2 car at real circuits during live race weekends. Pitt underwent extens🅠ive training to cope with the physical demands of single-seater racing, including high g-forces.

He was guided ꦬon set by 2012 FIA F2 champion🥃 Luciano Bacheta who also served as his stunt double.

During training, Bacheta used to warn Pitt about his speed, but the 61-year-old would reply: ‘Yep, I am ignoring your speed🍒-limit warning.’

“I became quite impassioned, needlessly,” he told GQ. “It was actually quite comical in the end. And then when they finally lifted it and just trusted us and l🌳et us be, e🌌verything was lovely.”

Pitt argued that driving too slowly was actually more danger🌜ous, as the tyres would lose temperature and the car won’t be producing the necessary downforce to tackle corners.

“The idea of going down a freeway 180 miles an 😼hour sounds completely reckless and dangerous—just absolutely not,” he said. “But these things, the more you pick up speed, that’s when everythi♉ng starts working.”

Seven-time F1 champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton was heavily involved in the scriptwriting process and also provided technical consultancy to ensure the racing scenes were as clꦓose to authentic as possible.

“The most interesting thing a𒁃bout Brad is that he’s already a bit of a racer at heart,” said Hamilton.

Producer Jeꦓremy Kleiner added: “I think foꦺr Brad there’s probably a physiological component to the driving, a spiritual high.”

F1 will be released in theatres worl🔜dwide from 25 June.
