American actor brad Pitt has been given the green light to race in this year’s British Grand Prix. The 60-year-old will take the wheel and race against the best in F1 including Britain’s own Lewis Hamilton in the first lap of the race. Pitt is currently filming a F1 movie with British-Nigerian actor Damson Idris for Apple TV+ and it’s been reported that production has been allowed special rights to fim during the race to include footage of the actual race in the movie.

CEO of F1 spoke about the footage that’ll make it on to the big screen saying:

“We’re going to start shooting in Silverstone very soon, it will be the first movie where they will be within the racing event. It will be quite invasive in terms of production, but it will be another way of showing that F1 never stops.”

Hamilton who will also be in this movie made a statement about how he’s excited for the movie:

“such high hopes for it. I know we’re going to make the best racing movie that’s ever existed, both visually, and we’re going to work on making sure we pull on the heartstrings of all those fans.”
