Brad Pitt and Apple have been working on a new F1 movie for some time, with Jerry Bruckheimer and Joseph Kosinksi at the helm. Now, just as they put their actors in real-life fighter planes for Top Gun: Maverick, they're going to put their leading man in a race car – Brad Pitt will be driving a Mercedes-designed car during Formula 1 race weekends from Silverstone onwards.
In a panel at the F1 Accelerate, F1 journalist Will Buxton learned that Pitt would be driving a racing car to make the new movie "the most accurate, most impressive race movie anyone has ever seen."
