Brad Pitt impressed Lewis Hamilton with his driving

“Lewis says they’re really terrific; they’re just natural, natural athletes,” producer Jerry Bruckheimer quoted him saying about Pitt and co-star Damson Idris.

This kind of high praise from a seasoned F1 driver like Hamilton speaks volumes.

Recently, the behind-the-scenes of the movie were also revealed.

For his upcoming movie ‘F1’, Brad Pitt also underwent three months of intensive training.

The practice began with Formula 3 cars and then moved up to Formula 2. The car he drove at Silverstone was an F2 car modified to look like an F1 car, based on the film’s needs.

However, this is not the first time we have seen Brad Pitt immersing himself deeply into his roles.

His physical transformation in ‘Fight Club’ and mastering the tank operations in ‘Fury’ are some other examples of his exemplary work over the years.

“We worked with Mercedes and this was actually Toto Wolff’s idea,” director Joseph Kosinski mentioned, ensuring that the cars used in the film were not just props but real race cars.

The movie is shot at Grand Prix events

Brad Pitt has a deep affection for luxury cars, and his collection includes some of the most incredible sports cars.

So it seems justified how Brad Pitt got those amazing driving skills.

Interestingly, the movie was also filmed at actual Grand Prix events, adding authenticity to the film.

However, shooting at real-life races didn’t come without challenges.

“We’re shooting at the actual Grands Prix, there are certain aspects of this film where we’re working in very, very tight windows,” director Joseph Kosinski explained.

The movie is also set to release in June 2025, and with the efforts of the actors, director, and the whole team, there’s no reason why ‘F1’ wouldn’t be a hit among the fans.
