Will Brad Pitt’s film remain true to F1?

Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton has also undertaken a role in the film as co-producer, and has ensured the details of the movie reflect the reality of F1.

Pitt and other stars of the movie have been seen filming at various events on the F1 calendar, including the British and Italian Grand Prix.

A teaser trailer was released at Silverstone this year, which unearthed footage from the film for the first time.

Adding to the realism, Pitt will drive the modified F2 cars which will feature the black and gold livery of the APX-GP team.

The movie has further showed their dedication to replicating the F1 world, in a bizarre display at the Belgian Grand Prix.

Extras for the F1 movie's main team were seen in the real-life crowds sporting APX GP, banners, merch and even a cardboard cut-out of Brad…sorry Sonny Hayes’ face.
