The Hollywood superstar was the 21st driver in a pre-race starting grid at Silversto🐲ne, as part of his upcoming Formula 1 movie.
Lewis Hamilt♉on 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 o♛f his APXGP - which is🎀, in reality, an F2 car modified by Mercedes to look like a modern F1 car.
No footage of Pitﷺt in his APXGP car was broadcast via Sky Sports or Channelꦚ 4, to keep a degree of secrecy for the movie.
Pi☂tt's car is an F2 machine which Mercedes helpe🌞d to resemble a modern Formula 1 car.
The actor has driven it on the Silverstone track over the British Grand Prix weekend, using the live crowd as extras in the 💖movie.
